Belkin get your act together

I borrowed a Belkin USB Bluetooth adapter from a colleague this morning and unfortunately, Windows XP was unable to locate a driver for it automatically. So, off I went to the Belkin website in search of a suitable driver, which I duly located.

Apart from having to give my name before being allowed to download the driver, I also discovered that the ZIP file containing the driver I wanted was a whopping 170MB in size, when all I really wanted was a tiny 67KB worth of .ini and .sys files.

I’m a big fan of Belkin products and find them very reliable but in this instance they didn’t impress me. Surely, a smaller download file could be accommodated?
