The domain "thesneaky.com" will expire tomorrow.
If you haven't already downloaded all the Third Party DriverPacks that you want...now would be a good time to do so.

OK, let's go. And where to write?

When making contributions, please indicate WHERE the drivers were sourced from (with links if possible). Ideally the drivers should be sourced from the vendors.

I've been thinking to make a list of download pages of major manufacturers and put it on top of the DP changelog.

The FTP server (DreamHost) that we have been using to host all the Third Party DriverPacks is being turned off in the very near future.
We are migrating all Third Party DriverPacks to the torrent tracker and listed on the main download page: http://driverpacks.net/driverpacks/windows/xp/x86
The Third Party DriverPacks will be available for download ONLY via the torrents. No local FTP access anymore.

As a consequence, everyone wishing to contribute to a particular Third Party DriverPack will need to upload to a free server (mediafire, rapidshare, etc.), create a new "request" thread and post the link here.
Then one of the main team can download the file, validate it, then upload to the main torrent tracker server.
There are two different methods of community contribution.
1) Upload the entire Third Party DriverPack (with changes)
2) Upload only the changed files while maintaining valid folder structure (eg. updated/added modem files in D\3\M\z9)

When making contributions, please indicate WHERE the drivers were sourced from (with links if possible). Ideally the drivers should be sourced from the vendors.
