Downloaded 7 gig from fileplantet thinking I'll be up in no time.

Games installs then I find I need another 4 GIG only patchable through the launcher.

Excep that the game patches at a snails pace, so far been patching for 2 hours and I'm 1.7% complete.

This can't be right?

It will take me a week a this rate to get up todate and that is assuming the patcher does crash etc?

Any help.

have you checked your firewall to make sure the patcher is set to trusted or allowed as if it's being blocked then that could explain why it's soo slow?

I'm also not sure, but I think the patcher for STO uses a torrent system, thus you need people who already have the data you need to connect to them to download it, if not many seeders then that could be another reason.  As I say i'm not sure if STO uses a torrent system for it's patching or not. 

hmm just played around with the proxy setting on the launcher and this seems to have fixed it.

Now at 14% after just 5 mins so think it is sorted.

thanks for help

Seems kind of slow but after a year there's alot of content:  18 gigs now. Also from the STO patcher you can use a drop-down menu and load Champions at the same time. Download Tribble as well so you can play Foundry missions as well.

(18 is both STO & Tribble-11gigs&6+.)

Kinda wish I hadn't wasted my bandwidth on this.

Game for me is just pish!
