[UK-Bug] Req: All your downloads belong to US!

Hey all,

As some will know (and obviously, some will not know) - UK-Bug.net has a
download section. Unfortunately, its poorly maintained. Over the
weekend I have opened "add a download" to all visitors to the site, such
that registration on the site is not required to download or upload files.

The idea is to get at least, the latest firmware (Pre-Release included)
for all devices, listed. If you have such a file, could one be so bold
as to ask you take 5 minutes to upload ?

It goes without saying that I'm also asking people do not abuse the
facility, by posting rubbish or virus infected files. All uploads will
be checked.

You can check out the downloads section here : http://snipurl.com/1rqq

Any uploads done will still be validated by ourselves, and so will not
immediately be visible on the site. Uploads are also initially limited
to 10MB - which should be sufficient. If not, and you want to upload
something - let us know and we'll sort something out.

Thanks in advance,
Andy.

I checked your site for Speedtouch 530 files and you had none. So I have
uploaded the user manual and latest firmware but cannot upload the main drivers
at the moment as I cannot find them.

It could do with a comments section for each file, as one in particular is
User beware. The Origo 8400 firmware with the SPI FW can fail to load on
some Origo routers if it doesn't have enough ram, so leaving you with a dead
router until you flash it again via the Internal USB port. Which 1.
Invalidates your warranty 2.can Only be done on a PC which can boot in Dos
and see its USB ports so No VIA chipset motherboards can be used for this.
