All I know is if they had some of the idiots I work with there they’d try and attach the entire thing to an email, then sit back and give you a stupid look when you b*tch about the download time.
I know a few like that.
My system wide irk that I encounter these days is with Windows 7 and certain older (obsolete but work) HP 1100 printers. Some sites with the good pipe and speed, it only takes a few minutes to get the driver. The driver is not standalone nor have I or anyone else has found one. HP’s only support is to use Windoze update to get it. I have had it take up to 90 mins at slow sites to get the driver.
