    Any one else having problems downloading drivers from Dell?

    Stupid me, I reformatted and now I can't get the friggen' drivers I need from Dell.

    The website seems to be OK (slow still), but the FTP connection to the downloads always fails.

    Ugh still can't get it to work for me. The add to my downloads and download all the files feature stopped working last night and still doesn't work. This is so frustrating as I'm trying to reformat two notebooks and I need the drivers!

    You just have to download one at a time.
