Mine is slow, started at 2 days with download speed of about 90 kbs.  I don't think this is to do with the download client but more to do with my internet speed (trying to switch to Virgin but they have got rubbish customer service)

I got mine from an Aussie mirrror site at over 250 kbs per part. It was six parts and I got three at a time. Took me over night.

It would be a safe bet to guess that there are a lot of people downloading the client. Since there is a finite amount of bandwidth available, it will go slow.

Its happend to me twice since i started dling, i just hast to pause the dler and then continue it will dl at max speed.

 

Also u may want to try this, open a port for it or make it dl from a port of ur choice ( it dl's from randome ports every time it starts )  on windows start -> run -> type cmd and run -> navigate to where ur AoC-US-EarlyAccess.exe is then type AoC-US-EarlyAccess.exe /port xxxx ( where x's are the port number of ur choice )

 

Note: to navigete on the cmd window u'll need   "cd.." to go back a directory, "cd" to go forward and if u need to verify ur file "dir" to see files and directories on the current path u are.

Mine said 2 days or something. I went to sleep and when I woke up 6 hrs later it was downloaded. Don't worry you'll be fine.

yeah i started downloading on the 13th when i got the email also, i've been getting approx 50-60k download rate and i was at 34-35% when i woke up this morning also. if i calculated the amount of time it'll take correctly it should be finished downloading around midday friday. i wouldn't pay attention to what the downloader says in regards to how long it'll take to download, it doesn't seem t
