TMA_1 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I finally got my computer up and running, but one problem is I never backed up my 3d card drivers.Its an old card, a Geforce fx 5200. My problem is my internet connection is equally as old, 56k. It is also very touchy and randomly disconnects and I dont have a file download program that restarts downloads. Anyways the most current driver package is 40 megabytes! I hate the fact that it is put into such a large package, yeh, cant complain about it really.Anyways I was curious if you guys could help me out in finding a way that I could get a driver for my 3d card for windows 2000 that isnt 40 freaking megabytes. Could any of you guys either upload the driver or direct me to a place with a smaller file for this specific driver? any help would be wonderful. :)I also posted here because its an emergancy and I need a respond kinda quickly. Please help!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesnake Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 if you used a download maneger you can download parts of the driver and then resume when possible . http://www.getright.com/ here is a 20mb driver but i worn you not all games works with it http://www.omegadrivers.net/nvidia/win2k_xp.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemafakei Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 The way I've got round things like that in the past is to find a decent network (do you have access at work/uni?), download the file, put it on a memory stick and transfer it. Though if you're asking us, you've probably already discounted that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erjin999 Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Rememeber the days when I had Dialup and uni had 2 Mb and I would to uni with ZipDisks and download stuff and take them home, 100MB at a time ! 100MB !!! I was the luckiest person ! It would take me weeks to get that at home.Now I scoff at 400MB from home in one go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veK Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 easiest way: get a download manager to resume aborted downloads...or you get it from a friend or download it at work and put it onto your mp3 player or usb stick or burn it on cd...but tell me: you live in the U.S. an only got a 56k connection? :Oyou know you get big ass dsl connections over here so cheap, I always thought they'd be far cheaper in the U.S. and a 56k would be much more expensive. ps: there's a technical support forum for topics like these ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
