Thanks for your contribution.  I've had a look at it.  Pretty cool.  Shame that aria2c app is so big.
What language did you code it in?  I may be able to add some of that functionality into SAD2 using their script API.
Does your utility update the dht.dat file automatically or do you grab that manually?

Our forum software doesn't support "advanced" features like [spoiler] tags.

Wild!  Indeed imbued with a high degree of wowness! 
How would one enable this in conjunction with SAD2 during install?

i can make some minor adjustments, so the program accepts cmdline options.

that way when ya call it from sad, it opens, sets the winver and arch, and starts updating if needed, then closes.

and yes, perhaps ill indeed take a stab at rewriting sad itself, no offence, but cmd scripts are so pre 2000 xd

updated to 1.2,

just some small fixes and made the program more descriptive in what its doing with some added text.

Here's some possibilities that could be debated &/or considered:

a)  Instead of "Version", could that column be called "Version/Date"?  (for the 'newbs)

b)  How about a request for the removal of the Monitors package, too?  (reason --> obsolescence)
  They are only useful AFIK to those with non-standard cables (no I2C comm. for EDID), and even then auto-detection is not likely.  Some .Inf files are out of date and several may have inaccurate timings (esp. LG - if included).  Also, many color profiles are using the XP model for color info, rather than the newer profiles - possibly causing problems where there were none before.  Most modern displays can correctly use the sRGB profile (incl. w. Windows - probably 8 too, not sure of standard supported though).  If that profile is utilized, the display's menu settings should reflect the relevant color profile.  .Reg files are an alternative way to install custom timings without breaking driver signing (esp. HDMI 1.4 passthru via HDMI 1.3 A/V receiver - from what i've read).

c)  on XP_x86, i receive a "Error" window stating "no internet detected, closing." as i type this (executed from drive D; the %systemroot% is C:\WINDOWS).  I note that you make no claims to XP compatibility.  If it's the torrent module (&/or security) that is at issue, could the program have the internet features disable-able?
  None of the DP's in the same folder are detected as 'local', BTW.   

Thank you again for your consideration & community support (that goes for you too, mr_smartepants)!
  I have read how an "author's" job is too-often a thankless one.

Hello
I wanted to appreciate for the time and effort you put into creating this program.
this seems pretty cool, but I'm kinda lost and don't know how to use it .
I ran the program but it keep saying " no driverpacks file" , then it show the drivers on the right windows and nothing on the left.
can I also use this program to add new drivers that I have downloaded from manufacture"s website and still use the SADV2-11118 scrip to install them on my univesal images?

Thanks

I ran the DP-updater and after it finished updating, it deleted all my drivers from my Hard drive.
looks like I uploaded my driverpacks file to remote location.
whay did this happen?
thanks

there placed in the sad script driver folders.

First things first, major props to Damian666 for this tool. Also thanks again to mr_smartepants for SAD2. Thanks so much, you two.

Agreed.

Would you please add the option to select where each folder is located? Even a ini file that needed edited manually would be fine. That would give this tool so much more flexibility.

Have you had luck with automatically updating the dht.dat file? Last I read you needed some info.

Any chance you will release the code for others to learn/help?

Thanks again!

bump
