Sorry for the all-caps in the thread title, but I wanted to help people as much as I can which meant getting their attention. I finally got fed up with restarting the patcher when it hung and then got distracted. When I looked back, I noticed that the "Received" had progressed even though the title bar's % figure hadn't changed. So I've been paying it attention on and off for the last half hour and have learned that it's best to simply do nothing. Occasionally the received speed will drop to nothing and it seems like the patcher has stalled. But as long as the dots are moving under the progress bar that means it's still trying to get the data. I'm now up to 7% patched, and still going. So don't panic, and don't restart the patcher unless it actually locks up. (Which would require a force quit -- as long as the "close" button in the title bar still highlights when you mouse over it, the patcher isn't locked.) It may take forever, but it will get there. 8.7% now...
See you in the game! Maybe. :)  |

Strange. When my patcher got hung up, after a while it told me it had lost the connection to the server. Then the client "stopped responding" and crashed. Awesome! |

That's exactly what happened to me and because it crashed it failed to correctly save what it had downloaded so far and started again from scratch when I restarted it. It's a joke frankly. |

the patcher tries to download 6 diffrent files ta a time at most and sometimes whle downloading blocks of data is stalls and then it tries to download the next set and the % downloaded does not go up till that piece of data is completely finished. |
