An alternitive download to nvidia-glx-new?

[DaF101]

Hello everyone.

Unforchunetly I just can't get into packages.ubuntu.com to get nvidia-glx-new driver for my Ubuntu studio 8.04 Hardy Heron. I think the servers must either be down or there just really really busy. if anyone can give me a torrent, or what not it will be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Why don't you choose another server (local) from "System>Administration>Software Sources">

Otherwise, you could use envyng in order to obtain the latest nvidia driver

You can download it here:

But you will have to install manually.

Work out what you will have to do to install on paper first. As you have no internet.
