|
 |
God damn I just had to format my pc. The gigabyte site is as slow as hell. 12k a second is a piss take. It's taking ages for my sound driver to download.
On the upside I just bought a new keyboard. Generally I go for the cheap keyboards. This time I got a Packard Bell keyboard and it's a nice solidly built one. It was only a fiver too. Cheap at twice the price.

I tell you, Gigabyte need a serious kick up the arse. 12k a second for 35mb is just a fucking joke.

I emailed Gigashite.
In this day with modern broadband connections. It's ridiculous to have to wait around about a hour because your download servers including the mirrors are so slow. If you want to keep myself and others as customers in the future you need to get it sorted. 12k a second for a 35mb file is a complete disgrace.
See if they get back to me.

Yeah you said it mark. Nearly as bad as Microsoft. Ever spoken to their telephone helpline? I had this German who couldn't form an English sentence. I'm suprised I got my explorer mouse. The address was totally wrong.

I shouldn't have to. I have a 10mb line. I can download at more than a Mb a second. Why should I put bs software on my machine because the halfwits at gigashite can't have decent servers. I've paid them for those drivers as well as the mobo and yet I cannot get them at a decent speed.

They are slow. I'm getting 120 - 150 KB/s using 5 connections. I'll upload the driver to rapidshare and post the link, maybe that will be faster.
btw. I'm not a fan of any extra download accelerator programs, but you really should try this. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/201/

Know how you feel :/ Got a Gigabyte motherboard myself and recently formatted a few days ago after installing 2 new sata drives, and couldn't find the motherboard CD so had to get all the drivers from the Gigabyte site, on average got anything from 8 KB/s -> 28 KB/s and also on a 10mbit line. It is really annoying, especially after you click the "Europe" link and expect "a little more".

I did deelix. That's how it only shows the single window. As i've just formatted I had to use Paint and that hasn't got a crop tool.
