:spank: That's a 3.1 MB web installer :spank:

[dcs18]

Did you try it?

[rudrax]

Yeah, dwnloaded and ran. That's a downloader for the subject.

[dcs18]

So, now what do you expect, now - someone to conjure up an offline installer for you which does not exist, in the first place???

[rudrax]

So, no way to get a offline installer?

[dcs18]

Edit:--

. . . . . . pardon the virus/es if any - they know not what they're doing.

[rudrax]

Holy cow! You SOS got it.

So, what after 30 days?

[dcs18]

I got you the cow - now it's your job to get the milk (go away and nag the Admins. to FrontPage ZoneAlarm - while you're at it, put across Photoshop & Norton, as well.) :shooo: :moooo:

[rudrax]

ZoneAlarm free is already FPed.

The other things that you said, only another SOS can understand :rofl:

[dcs18]

ZoneAlarm free is already FPed.

That's exactly the problem - most folks here like to settle for second best. :dunno:

The other things that you said, only another SOS can understand :rofl:

No, please - don't be tactful (nag both of them - I'll be watching.) :huh:

[rudrax]

Speak English!

@dcs18, 8.1.1 comes as a update-only part, the SP2 of windows 8. Then where is the SP1 update-only part?

[dcs18]

That's already been answered.

[rudrax]

No that's not the answer.

Update-only - means the extra update part except the OS.

[dcs18]

You Peepz are terribly confused. :doh:

[rudrax]

You Peepz are terribly confused. :doh:

Now, you make us confused :angry:

Windows 8.1 = Windows 8 + SP1

I want the SP1 only from the equation.

[dcs18]

That's available - you can try searching for it (I thought you already were running the 8.1. ;)

[rudrax]

That's available - you can try searching for it (I thought you already were running the 8.1. ;)

Hell no.

By far, I'm only being able to find that in windows store. Outside the store, I only get the full fledged windows 8.1 ISO. So need your help.

[dcs18]

That one was not deployed via Windows Update - the update from the Store screwed up for most Users.

I'd personally opt for a full & clean install from the 8.1 Update ISO.

[rudrax]

Can't you extract the update's link(s) from the fcuking store?

The 8.1.1 ISO is a giant monster. Will take 3 moths for me to download.

[dcs18]

So, how's the ZoneAlarm experience getting along?

[rudrax]

Nice.....so far.

[rudrax]

Not nice now. I strongly doubt that ZoneAlarm is creating the bug for which after clicking on a download link, IDM starts multiple download for the same file. Today I tried downloading SystemXplorer and IDM started 6 download pop up window for the same download.

I'm also observing ZoneAlarm getting a hard on my internet connection as it keeps ticking the data counter after connecting the dial-up. This happens in random though.

[dcs18]

ZoneAlarm is a LSP based firewall and I can now recall that it always had an issue with IDM (which is LSP based, too.)

You can try playing with the ZoneAlarm settings, to resolve the issue.
