    Site has been taken down as a mix of a hardware failure on the complete RAID array hosting the drivers, and because we don't have the financial means to keep the site going.

    The download service brought to you by the former employees at Zepto Denmark, should be seen as final, and no files are going to be added as of December 20th 2009.
    All inquiries regarding updates of the drivers or support on Zepto products will be ignored. This step has been taken as a consequence of old Zepto costumers starting contact us on home addresses, via private phone numbers, and via Facebook for support on Zepto products, which we in no way are interested in.

    There's been put a few limits on the site:

    The link is:

    Thank you Rene for grabbing a copy of the Zepto download site before you left the office. This helps a lot with the software / driver support. :) Now to figure out how to provide hardware support.

    As soon we got the message that Zepto was no longer in business I took a secondary complete backup to be sure that i had everything, so the software/driver part would not be an issue towards the customer base.

    The only thing that seems to have failed to backup was the Anthea A15 3532 BIOS update. So if anyone has that, and can upload it to one of those free upload services and give me the link to it in a private message, I'll upload it to the FTP so it will be available to all.

    EDIT: Yes, the hardware support unfortunately is the biggest issue now, and i can only speak for myself, but I'm not very happy about how this thing turned out. Unfortunately as a "foot soldier" there's not much you can do in these situations. Thomas and I have tried to fix the easiest part, which was the software/drivers support. As it was also one of my job activities while i was there, it seemed the only fair thing to try and get this out to the customers which had bought our products along the years.

    Thx man for the drivers and software. Luckily theres a backup for existing zepto customers.

    Just one question, are there no win7 32bit drivers since it seems that all zepto drivers for win7 are 64bit only?

    That is correct.
    The models with Windows 7 where only release with Windows 7 64bt. Depending on which model i can try and look in the drivers i have laying around if i might be able to get 32bit drivers up there for Windows 7.

    1. We are hoping it will be up forever (we know that will never happen), but it will be up as long as we can host it at least. We are not planning to take it down, I can at least say that much.

    2. Just take the manual for the Nox, as that is identical to the G15.

    The 32bit drivers for Win 7 for the Nox, Mythos, Nexus, G14 and G14 has been uploaded.
    At current time the overview of the FTP is static, and needs to be manually updated by Thomas, when i send him an email, so you might not see the updates until some time tomorrow
    We are working on making an automated script for this, what runs once every 24 hours.

    Dear sir, you are a godsend. Thank you for the win 7 32bit drivers. I believe alot of people would also be grateful that there are up.

    If only the backup site for the drivers could be notified to those who are still uninformed that zepto is bankrupt and that their official site as well as the old drivers ftp site is gone.

    I just did a Google search for "Zepto driver download" and this thread was the second hit, so I doubt if people will have to search for long to find this, and then the download site.

    The problem has happened because the limits set for the site has been reached (transfer-wise).
    This has happened because 2 people (from 2 different IP addresses) have been trying to snatch the entire site.
    We have banned both IP's as this was not the intention when putting up this site.

    Just edited the first post in this topic.

    The limits to what is possible has been added, and we are now calling the site "as is" and there will not be changed anything regarding the files that are there.
    Nothing will be added as of Dec 20th 2009.

    If limit of 500GB per month is reached it will be reset on the first of the month.
    Unfortunately that is a limit we've had to set because otherwise it will be to expensive to host this site.
    Data transfers cost money no matter what you try and do.

    If anyone wants to host these files for free please don't hesitate to contact me and we'll figure out a solution.

    A google translation of what's hapening right now:
    http://translate.google.com/transla...ste-hjaelpende-hand-1.249809.html&sl=da&tl=en

    Looks like we might be getting into trouble for putting the drivers online. Even though the drivers can all be found online in some form if you look really hard. But Thomas will be contacting the bankruptcy lawyer as fast as possible to hear their view on this.
    What we see as a worst case scenarios right now is that we might not be allowed to host the drivers as they might see them as a part of the company, and therefore we might not be allowed to have them at all.

    I just wanted to post up and say thank you for hosting the files as well. I got everything I needed for my NOX A14 this evening.

    I noticed today that the last remaining remnants of Zepto is gone now as well. http://www.zeptousa.com and http://www.dennedusa.com now just show a maintenance page. Though if you do a google search, you can still get through to most of the rest of the site. I may still try contacting them by phone to see if I can pick up some spare parts while they are still available.

    Looks like the officiel Zepto FTP is up again

    ftp.zepto.dk

    If this keep being up the site we have put up will be taken down again.
    We can't update the real Zepto FTP site anymore, so if you need the Windows 7 drivers that might not be available then now might be the time to fetch them. Check the real Zepto FTP site first for drivers, and if the drivers are not there try checking ours to see if we have them.

    Google has found another planned Zepto driver site although all it says at the moment is:
    Whois reveals that the domain is registered in Sweden.

    Is it possible to get the drovers for the Zepto Mythos G15 please? Or will the drivers for the Mythos A15 do the job? I need the driovers for windows 7 64 bit. I will be using the official Nvidia graphics drivers for the GPU.

    steve30x, the Mytos G15 is basically the Mythos A15 but with Glossy finish i believe, so yes the A15 drivers will work just fine.

    Its the Intel 5300. Im having slight problem with it though. Sometimes my internet speed is fast then sometimes it takes forever for a page to load or sometimes webpages time out. I have 60MB/s internet with a wireless n router and speedtest shows my wireless speed @ 57mb/s

    Also the latest driver from Intel is 13.1.1.1 for this wireless adaptor.

    Its not the router. My previous laptop had no issues with the router. Its a Cisco router with built in cable modem. What I've noticed is the hotter the laptop gets the slower my internet speed gets until I have to shut down the laptop for about twenty minutes to let it cool down. I need to do something to help this laptop keep cooler.

    Thank you. I used that undervolting to reduce the heat a little bit. I didnt want to go too low so I set the voltage from 1.375 to 1.250 v.

    I expect that you can go lower. My quick method of finding the safe voltage is to get both cores fully loaded using Prime95 torture test, let the test run for 10 minutes or so to warm up the CPU then drop the maximum voltage in RMClock by one step every few seconds, taking note of the voltage. Eventually either Windows will BSOD or Prime95 reports an error, in which case you know that the voltage is too low. so reboot then set the voltage 0.05V higher. For optional confirmation leave the torture test to run overnight at this voltage.

    The drivers have been taken down, because we don't have the means/finances to keep the site running after we suffered from a hardware breakdown that killed the complete RAID array the drivers where hosted on.
    Unfortunately I deleted the backup a long time ago, so the drivers won't be back up ever again.

    Hope people have been happy about the driver download while it lasted.

    Cheers and I'm off.... :)
