    That nvidia download manager is such a piece of crap. Locked up my browser for a few minutes before it appeared. When it did appear it only downloaded 1 file fully and the other two stayed at 1% and 4%.

    HEHE, I just try to avoid installing unnecessary software, Firefox has a download manager that I'm happy with. I even avoided installing the Windows Genuine Advantage Spyware thingy by manually running the verifier for Microsoft downloads.

    You don't have to install it as such, it's some java plugin thingey. I just seen the big shiney download button and clicked. :)
