Dell UK downloads not working?

[Guest]

I have been trying to download upgrades from the Dell UK support site
but all the downloads abort with the message: “An error occurred
retrieving the release information”.

I am not sure whether the problem lies with the site, or the settings on
my browser/firewall. Is anyone else having this problem please? Thanks

Try getting them from www.dell.com. That's where I get my Inspiron downloads
from, even though I'm in the IK, as the US site is far better organised.

both methods appear to be working for me. if http dosen't work then try
ftp... and if neither work consider your possible firewall settings...

Thanks for the advice. Now OK.
