Windows Support Software Download?

I have recently purchased a new 15.4" MacBook Pro a few days ago.

Tech Specs

-OS X 10.8.0

-Processor: 2.6Ghz Intel Core i7

-Memory: 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3

-Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000 512MB

I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate but then realised I forgot to download the Windows Support package. When I tried to download the software it would have the loading bar appear for about 1-2hours and then it would have a connection error. The bar would stop at about 40% of the way through.

Is there any solid download links or am I suppose to keep trying?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8), Mid 2012

So I have since posting, yet still it freezes or whatnot and doesn't pass the halfway point. I haven't found any Bootcamp 5.0 material located on the Apple website nor the support community.

I was having the same issues until i realized it was asking me if i wanted to burn a disk - burn the disk and the download continues if it is the same issue i was having.

Good luck!

I am currently trying it out. Although the time remaining seems to be a wildcard. I am hoping to avoid any errors which will require me to restart this unreasonably long process. 😐
