In the process of gathering XP drivers for a Portege 500 series laptop but I'm getting 1.4k (avg) download speed from their official site!!!!!!! This is the same every time I try to download a driver I'm using a 10 MB connection so I'm pretty sure its not my end thats slow. Would anyone know of a mirror that might be faster??? For a corporate services site, that really is appalling. LOL, just checked its now blasting away at 2.9KB Thanks for any replys.

for laptops, i always download drivers from the "original source", meaning that for chipsets go to intel, for audio go to realtek, video go to nvidia or ati and so on.

the only ones to get from manufacturers are the applications like hotkey utilites, card reader drivers, power saver programs etc.
