Reinstall Rant

Having to unfortunately do a reinstall of Windows 7 I find myself being totally frustrated by the pace of reinstalling my Orbx's products. With approximately 45 products to install plus freeware FTX Central only gives me download speeds 10-30 KB/s with a 100 MB/s download speed service. This means it takes 4-5 hours per product to install. Now that the manual download limit has been set at 5 per day we are still talking about 9 days to install everything. Even trying to install the old files downloaded from FSS is painfully slow. Although FSS has re-enabled validation on the install wrappers. The wrappers are taking 2-2.5 hours unwrap the installer. There has to be a better way.

Also, once you do have everything installed and working, take a backup copy using the method Nick described:

 

That way, when you next need to re-install, you only have to copy the files from a backup location instead of re-downloading everything.
