WOW this is a sad post ok here are your options

1. SUCK IT UP

2.change your internet

3.buy it in a store

So stop complaining it is a 30gp game your lucky enough they compacted it that much so stop complaining!!!

thats not a patch he is downloading a compacted version of the game

if i click cancel, does it stop dling and delete it all, or will it start back from where it was?

first off, this is the only internet avilable to me.

i bought the game at a store, so im not dling it all off the internet.

is this a patch, or stuff already on my comp?

EDIT:  The previous responses in this thread were posted while I was writing this post.

I don't know why you're downloading 15 GBs of data for AoC.  If you purchased a digital distribution then you would likely be downloading 32 GBs as that's the required hard drive space as listed on the box.

If you're talking about patching then perhaps you're using some sort of old beta client rather than having purchased a retail copy?  The patch that I downloaded after my initial installation was completed very quickly.  It was probably less than 1 GB or around that number.  If you're using a beta client then I highly recommend that you pick up the box.

I've had AoC for a week now, maybe two.  It's hard to imagine that the patch size has ballooned to 15 gigs, but anything's possible I suppose.

Perhaps it would help if you explained how you went about obtaining your copy of AoC.  If you purchased a digital distrubtion instead of a box when you know that you have a daily data limit, well man... .  It would be faster to order a box from Amazon, Gamestop, or what have you.

Good luck...

the client patch isnt 15gb that is for sure

i've got dsl, my max d/l is 150kb, it sucks, i downloaded every patch at about 30-120kb usually sticking around 80kb, took me a couple hours total for all the patches so far

The patcher does act screwy at times, and I have seen people getting a patch that big (and its an error, not really a patch). There is a post on the forums that tells you how to fix it, ill try to find it.

Ah I see!  I wasn't aware of this patching bug.  That explains it then... :-)
