    Hi all, I have a samsung np770z7e and i'm very happy with it.
    I have just one problem: I live in a country where the internet connection drops regularly and I cant use "sw update" to maintain my softwares up-to-date because everytime I download the update I encounter network problems and the download just restart from 0% :( . Is there a direct link (ftp or http) where I could download each updates individually without using sw update ?
    By example I'm trying to update"settings" (198MB) to 2.0.0.72 and impossible to find a link that points directly to the file.

    thanks for your help ?

    I don't know (but I haven't tried figuring out) direct links into Samsung's server for getting these updates.

    Have you tried the alternative method within SW Update of using Find Model, then selecting only the software you want and using Export? This might be more tolerant of poor internet connectivity.
