I got one of those A*******r 49 port USB hubs a few weeks ago from one of their franchisees ( or however they figure out who can sell them) and it ran good, 2 dead ports to start. Now I have 17 bad ports. anyone else having trouble with them?
The bad ports power up BE's OK, but cannot mine or load drivers. I am using windows 7 64 bit, which may have something to do with it. But they seam pretty flimsy for the price that I paid.
just load up linux, otherwise you have real trouble telling the windows software issues apart from possible hardware issues.

+1 I was running two different brands of 49 port hub.  Once I put them on Linux all the problems went away.
