SDI works even on Windows 2000 even though it takes an additional effort to keep support for this OS. Most PCs at my workplace are somewhat old(Pentium 4, Radeon x1600, 1 GB RAM, 120 GB) so I have a great opportunity to optimize SDI for worst cases. It depends on the hardware so it's difficult to optimize for every possible case. However sometimes it's faster to read uncompressed data than to read compressed data and unpack it the fly. For example videogames often have their resources packed. There's just no way to tell how much it progressed and it just jumps from 90% to 100% as soon as driver installed.Īctually a lot of programs work with compressed data. It might appear installation stuck on 90% but the driver is being installed. You can see the progressbar going from 0% to 90%. Once you have driverpacks, you don't need the Internet. SDI doesn't download drivers from the Internet. The point is you don't have to worry about it, SDI does all the heavy lifting in the most efficient way possible. This is why SDI sometimes skips the first state(extracting) for some drivers. SDI is intelligent enough to extract all needed files in a single pass. In order to reach a file at the end of archive, it has to extract all files preceding it and discard unwanted files without writing on disk. It resulted in the loss of random access to the files, so SDI has to treat them like magnetic tapes. Thankfully I don't have to deal with PCs with 256MB RAM anymore because they tended to run out of virtual memory during extracting.ĭriverpacks are optimized for minimal size.

If you want to help other people download faster, you can seed the current torrent via uTorrent or any other client. SDI can download them with an internal torrent client but it stops seeding as soon as it's done downloading.
