help about downloading drivers

[denden42]

is there a website where to search and download drivers not in executable file I mean in.cat, .dll, .inf extensions. I am asking this cause I think that would be easier to download than the one in executable format.
thanks friends

In most cases you could something like WinRAR to extract the files you want from the standard driver (.exe) format.

Alternatively you could disrupt the installation sequence after the installer has extracted the files from its archive, grabbing the folder from your temp folder.

I generally wouldn't trust a third party site with driver downloads.

thanks sir. yah I know that technique but having a slow connection makes hard for me to download the whole executable. om just using a phone to browse the web.

I would be surprised if the installation executables really made that much difference to the overall driver package size. The only exception I can think of would be if one were to avoid say AMD's Vision Engine Control Centre, but I think you would need to find a third party who has stripped that out for you already (repeat opinion about third parties, go with many recommendations IMO).
