Solved Realtek website FTP download help

[DigitalRooster]

Hey, I've been using the same computer for about 4 years. The OS was Vista but changed to Windows 7 last year, during the vista stage the computer had realtek HD sound manager and drivers but on windows 7 it doesn't. I found the software useful so tried to download it again for windows 7 on realtek's website but it seems I'm seeing a different page to everyone else. I keep getting the error:

++
Unable to connect







Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 95.130.192.218.





The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

When looking at other posts on this forum and others people seem to get an ftp box but even with a firefox FireFTP plugin nothing shows up. A similar thing happened when downloading HP Printer drivers but that was solved by changing the "ftp://" to "http://" however, this doesn't seem to fix this.



Short version: Realtek download links "ftp://95.130.192.218/pc/audio/32bit_Vista_Win7_R266.exe" and .zip don't work even with FireFTP plugin on firefox.
Can anyone suggest a solution?

Thanks,

Ryan

DigitalRooster, welcome to the Seven Forums.

Sounds like the Realtek servers working as they should. Even when they are working properly, anything you download from them always seems to go at about dial-up speed.

Fastest and easiest way to get them is from a site like here,

Download Realtek High Definition Audio - FileHippo.com

This didn't help sorry. The downloads are Vista and XP, i want a Windows 7 link. Kudos for trying though

Vista and Windows 7 drivers are the same, I think.

They are,

This software requires 32-bit version of Windows Vista or Windows 7.
