Severe issues with the new ST website

Hi,

I do not want to be argumentative, but the new ST website is doing it wrong. Again.

Actually, it's impossible to download several softwares, tools or even datasheets in reliably manner. For example, if you go to the CubeF0 HAL web page:

https://my2.st.com/content/my_st_com/en/products/embedded-software/mcus-embedded-software/stm32-embedded-software/stm32cube-embedded-software/stm32cubef0.html

the website says that the latest HAL version for the F0 is the 1.0.0 (which is clearly FALSE). Moreover, if you proceed downloading the package, you can see that it instead contains the 1.1.0 FW release. 

A novice of this platform after 5 minutes goes away. Forever.

Just my two cents.

    I left my comments on the website feedback ... but it's crazy that when you enter a part number you have to drill down to find technical data like Data Sheets, Errata and the Reference Manual.

    ST. - It's TECHNOLOGY ... you're not selling lifestyle!

    On paritcular device page (e.g. http://www2.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/microcontrollers/stm32-32-bit-arm-cortex-mcus/stm32f4-series/stm32f407-417/stm32f407vg.html), the related development board (EVAL, DISCOVERY, NUCLEO) are hidden under Tools and Software - Evaluation Tools tab. They can't be searched by the web browser's textual search, which is a pity because the page is long.

    As the page is long anyway, I would unroll those three tabbs. I would make them consistent with the ''scrolldown'' buttons on the top. I would also make a similar change to the ''Quick Links'' pulldown, change it to ''scrolldown'' buttons too. That would make the page fully searchable and navigation thoroughly consistent.

    Here is a mirror of F0 v1.5.0, install using the ''From Local ...'' button.

    https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7OY5pub_GfILUxvMEd6d1hyOXc

    The server can get heavily loaded at times, Google Drive is a lot faster and more reliable.

    I tried downloading drivers for the ST-Link/V2 I bought using this link.

    https://my2.st.com/content/my_st_com/en/products/embedded-software/development-tool-software/stsw-link009.html

    After clicking to accept the license agreement, nothing. I tried on two computers at work my computer at home, a friend tried, and I tried my GF's computer. Both Firefox and Chrome, Nada.

    Hi harper.matthew,

    I have downloaded successfully the ST-Link/V2 from this link with Chrome.

    After accepting the license agreement, it makes a few seconds to see the pop-up then the downloaded file.

    So, check if your pop-up is not blocked.

    Regards

    Hi harper.matthew,

    1- Did you tried to download other packages from ST web site? Do you face similar issue there?

    2- The Software License Agreement should be displayed when downloading the 1st time.
