I bought FE last night and opted for the download. I expected to wait a few hours. Why the hell am I still downloading after one day? What the hell am I downloading? I left the patcher running all night. It froze so when I woke I restarted it. I get home from work (after 7 pm) and its still downloading! Holy f'n sh*t! Damn, I have 3 meg DSL, its not the best but I never expected to wait forever and a day for the f'n patcher to stop. Currently its at 47% with 9 hours left after running fine all day. WTF! |

Game is about 10GB , how fast is it downlaoding at? |

how fast? not sure 10 gigs shouldn't take me this long to download I'm guessing 1 gig takes me roughly 30 - 40 minutes and thats a wild guess due to never timing the process. |

Are you using a download manager? Also just because you have 3mb/down doesn't mean teh server your getting it from is 3mb/up your most likely trickling in at 150kb/s to 600kb/s |

no download manager The patcher continues from a previous stop or cancellation so no fear of having to redownload everything |

Heh. You'll find that when you download from specific sites that offer a download manager that it's best to use their download interface, otherwise you'll find the file is full of 'errors' and/or missing parts of it. |

I just registered for the official forums and apparently this insane dowload time is affecting alot of people. Well maybe I'll be able to play tomorrow after downloading all night and day again. |

Get the open beta client off Fileplanet as it's the full 4gigs which is 99% of the game from the current client, don't use the 800 meg installer given in a link on purchase. |
