Is there a central driver index of driver version history and corresponding download links? The LabVIEW Version Compatibility pages are useful, but none of them (save for NI-RIO) have links to driver downloads. It'd be handy to have a single top level index with all drivers and modules listed (NI-RIO, DAQmx, EtherCat, WSN, LV RTE, etc), with the ability to drill down to a driver version without having to search.
The switch to version numbering by year has helped somewhat, but the need to search to find the latest version can feel a bit like a lottery. Even a simple search for "labview RTE" lists versions 2011, 2011 SP1, 2010 SP1 and 2012 ahead of 2014.
Does such an index exist?

I agree...everytime I've tried to find the latest version it has often been buried further down the search results.
I tend to find this page most useful as a starting point: http://www.ni.com/downloads/ni-drivers/
There's also a web-based installer for the development suite - whilst I haven't tried it myself I guess it would allow you to select which components to download/install:
