    Is it just my connection or is Sager's support site unbelievably slow? I've tried to download a video driver several times over the past week, and can't get much more than 20kBps!

    I tried XoticPC (where I ordered the machine) but their support links directly to Sager.

    Is there another, faster site that hosts the Sager drivers?

    Thanks.

    This level of support should be an embarrassment to Sager as well as the resellers.

    I use a download accelerator (DownloadThemALL) for Firefox to up the speed to just over 1MB/s, there are a bunch of others out there, try one. Sager limits bandwidth per connection.

    Yea, the dload speed stinks at Sager. Some drivers can be downloaded from Clevo directly, and they have a much better dload speed.
