why don't NI think about the environment why spill a lot of energy to download 8GB if you only need a driver of 10 MB i dont know how many NI users are forced to download 8 GB whil the only to need to update a small driver but its a waste of network traffic energy

What driver were you looking for? And what did you download?

NI-Motion
i just clicked NI Device Drivers 2016.02
i missed the last line but still its 600 MB
i had it also in the past that you had to download nearly a GB to install a driver (National Instruments\NI-488.2\3.1.2)
and it looks like that often takes a long time to install because it whas checking all of the devices of the installer if it was on the system

I quick search gave me the NI Motion download: NI Motion 15.0 Yep, almost 600MB. But a lot better than the 8GB for a large majority of all NI drivers.
I have yet to run into a single driver that required the whole driver suite. The separate installs have always been available.
