Well hopefully the SP1 fad will be over soon, but then M$ will no doubt start out on SP2, I'll be waiting

well I think ive answered this in about 5 threads but here goes again

We dont host SP builds on the DH server as it would kill it, but yes Driverheaven gets alot of hits, sometimes over 30,000 in an hour, and in excess of over half a million a day.

The problem we have been having is hopefully going to be sorted soon, and you should all be seeing faster responses soon as Shaith finishes configuring server side settings.

I do apologise for the downtime and the hassle everyone has been having lately, but rest assured it wont be like this forever.

Thanks for your patience.
