Patching frustration

Ok so i regret the day i uninstalled this game because now its impossible to install it again...
Is it just me or is this some kind of bad joke ?
Steam version is almost impossible to patch because it stops downloading after 300 megs or so...and no matter how much i restart it wont budge...
The Arc games download worked nice almost good until to about 50% then the launcher restarted and it started to download 9 gigs of game data again...and it wont budge after 100 megs...
i tried every possible experiments in the launcher options including the proxys and forced patching and whatever...they all make it even worse resulting in the patching process won't even start....

So switching that all off and resetting to default settings brings me back at the beginning...every time i restart the launcher it works for a few minutes and patches around 200+ mb of data and then it stops....

seriously ....this is the first time i experienced a MMO patcher with so many problems...
My internet speed is 2.2 mB/s so it should have downloaded those 11 gigs in less than 3 hours under normal conditions and its been 3 days since i started this frustration...
If anyone has somehow solved the patching problem or found and alternative way please let me know..i really liked the game and now i found friends to play with and this is driving me crazy....

As for any technical reference here are my computer specs:
MSI Z87 G45
Intel i5 4670k @4.2Ghz
2x4 gb kingston beast @1600Mhz
gigabyte R9 280x
Seagate barracuda 1tb drive...
Windows 8.1 ...

    I have the same problems. Living in EU it makes this game hard to play and harder to patch (most of the time it works ok, but the lag and rubberbanding is insane most of the time). Fortunately there is a very rough, but effective work-around. Here is what worked for me:

    Change your patching proxy to EU (I tried US too it worked better then EU one but this is rare). You can change this in options from launcher (top right corner, the launcher is that small box where the patching is being done, before you click play)

    When the patcher decides to take a break and stop working, restart it. I am amased by how well the data fits in this game. Almost no data is lost when you do this, the patcher will resume where you closed it. Sometimes it refuses to work as soon as I start it. In those cases I restart it immediately.

    It's 19:00h of the 3rd day since i'm trying to install the game...Still no luck...restarting the launcher since it bugs every hour and in that hour it manages to download only around 200, 300 megs of data and as i said i tried EVERY POSSIBLE click in the launcher options meny and only the default settings work "best"...If i change the proxy settings even a little the launcher wont start at all it stops at the version screen......i still have 50% of the game left to patch and keep restarting like crazy....now it won't patch at all....jesus this is so frustrating...I'm not an idiot to wait like crazy until the end of the week to download this and waste the free week that i have....
    Is it possible for a friend who already has the game to just put the data on a flash drive so that i can copy-paste it ???!!!
    I'm really running out of ideas all this waiting its a joke...And the only reason i uninstalled the game because i lost the people i played with and now they reconsidered and are back... omg -.-

    the launcher/patcher download speed is very very very slow, doesn't matter the speed of your connection. that's my experience anyway.
