That is very helpful pOcHa

need to know how to copy the DriverPacks to  "%WinPEDriver% (not %WinPEDriverS%) in root of install drive"

if you can post that (or if i get a chance to look it up) i'll move this to the FAQ section of our site.

Welcome to DriverPacks

I think advertising in BASE is a good selling point for us to keep MaxCDN or other company sponsoring us... I don't see it as a solution to keeping our heads above water financially. There is no reason Wim should have to pay out of pocket for our site hosting on a project this popular. Wim does not really want to advertize in BASE... and I see his point quite clearly on that.

Keep the ideas coming DD, we would like to hear all of them!

I like the idea of torrents for free and CDN for a small fee. It works for everyone. It provides an incentive to those users who have considered donating, but have just put it off. It offers upgraded service(s) in the form of simplicity and convenience for those who have a couple of extra bucks in their paypal account. Base and DriverPacks will provide the same full functionality to those who do not want to or can not afford a small fee. They will have to download manually but that is not terrible and most people won't mind a bit.  If they don't feel like manually downloading or useing torrents then they can donate for the upgrade. I think it's a win / win idea.

Welcome to DriverPacks Somebody,

If I were you I would have started a new thread for this. this one is quite old and your post is on the 5th page. Let's start new please.
Thanks it looks awesome, and very well detailed.

Hope we see you around sir

Welcome to DriverPacks
have a great day!

bad burn?

Use DriverPacks BASE to create a SAD source, selecting M1 as the method and selecting only the CPU pack (since it's the smallest).

After BASE creates your folder structure (IE C:\DriverPacks.net\) with all the files in place simply extract all the remaining packs into that folder.

IE extract the packs to your "C:\DriverPacks.net\" folder.

Pretty simple really.

Great question... and not the first time it has been asked... moved to FAQ forum

Have an Awesome day and welcome to DriverPacks.

Jeff

PS this method will also work with our Vista / Win7 packs for use with NT6 platforms

The speed of the CDN was always impressive in our experience? I am aware of no reports of slow downloads. I am aware of issues with incomplete downloads. If you were having slow downloads I wish that you had reported it. I have never been able to achieve the speed on any torrent (ever) that I get from the CDN.

In our (the teams) experience the CDN would max out any download bandwith. Those of us with the the high bandwidth connections have always gotten our full 30 Mbs download speeds. I don't know what you think is impressive but to me maxing out a 30 Megabit a second connection is pretty impressive. Over 4 megabytes a second is faster than a cheap IDE HDD. I'm sorry that I can't agree with you, but in my book that is impressive. Again, if you were having speed issues I wish that you had reported it. Perhaps our old provider had no server clusters in your country OR perhaps it was an issue that could have been addressed... if it were reported.

I think the idea would be that BASE would authenticate for the user. The username and password would only have to be entered once into the GUI. I would probably encrypt the login info on the local machine in such a way that it would always be available / cached on that machine. It would also be simple enough to have a cached login for the site downloads too, since that feature already exists for the main team members.

The 3rd party DriverPack will be available from the GUI in the future... However it is not likely that it will ever be a feature of DriverPacks BASE, which was not designed in such a way as to easily allow new main packs to be added. It will VERY likely be a feature of the new app we will develop for NT6 platforms.

I agree... however it would need to be a bit more adaptive than that... most people do not have a static IP. So the IP would have to be reverse DNS lookup to verify ISP and Region. I'm sure Wim could put a server side module in place to prevent cheating. It would be a simple matter to bust an account holder who was downloading from the USA and Russia within the same hour and cancel their login / account .

Thank you for reporting!

It's a good idea to report language / translation requests at the bugtracker. that way i can assign it to the correct translator (and they will receive an email so they can fix it).

because every file read or written is virus scanned...

Thanks Mark,

To pay out of pocket for the CDN at our current usage levels... http://simplecdn.com/pricing

we had
Yesterdays Data Trans: 498.72 GB
Last Week  Data Trans: 3.36 TB
Last Week Total Requests: 1,059,509

and with our current setup with all the old packs available on the server about 16gig of storage.

according to the the price chart 500~1000 dollars more a month would be needed...
The donations we get now don't even cover Wim for his out of pocket that he pays for this site/forum.
