    ASUS users,
    I recently performed a clean install on my ASUS F3Sa notebook to correct a problem. Now that I am reinstalling software, I want to install only the newest available.

    I have downloaded many newer versions of ASUS drivers and applications than were previously available for my notebook. There have been just a few interesting changes (e.g. Wireless Console 3 in place of Wireless Console 2). But my hope is that by using the newest ASUS drivers and applications, I will not run into problems in the future.

    So my question is this: where can I find the newest versions of TPM V3.5 and LifeFrame V3.0.14? I have tried to download these from the ASUS support/download site for the past week, but I keep running into the following message: "The file server for the file you selected is busy right now. Please download it via other servers." This occurs when I try to download from both the "Global" server and the "China" server.

    Any suggestions?

    Jeremy

    Wellcome to the club. The Asus download pages suck. Either they are "busy" what i don't think is true or they put old drivers in zip files for the newest version. So be careful when installing; it can happen that you downgrade your driver instead of updating.

    UPDATE: I managed to snag the TPM V3.5 download this morning from the ASUS support/download website by clicking on the "Global" server link. But the LifeFrame V3.0.14 download links still lead to the "The file server for the file you selected is busy right now. Please download it via other servers" message.

    I guess this is progress...

    Someone want to hit the power button on those ASUS support servers :eek:

    And now I have just downloaded LifeFrame V3.0.14. I cannot understand why the ASUS support/download site is so unreliable. But I now have my downloads.

    Does anyone maintain a more reliable download server for ASUS drivers and applications?

    The Asus servers are always hit and miss. It took me the better part of 2 weeks to get ExpressGate. All the downloads would die after 15 minutes.

    please, could anyone send me Lifeframe3 by email or gtalk? or put it in megaupload or...
    or tell where did you download it exactly. The most recent version I found in asus site is 2.0.12.
    btw I have a U6V but I think it will work fine whichever it is the model, true?
