Good, grief! It's taken me almost two hours just to get half of the latest patch.

No, there's nothing wrong with my connection speed, computer, etc.

    Wow, it was very very fast for me. Did a whole bunch of people log on suddenly?

    Only time it was ever slow for me was when I needed to reset my connection to my ISP. Otherwise I usually have it downloaded in under a minute on any patch.

    Same here, took me maybe 15 minutes, and my computer has a pretty slow download speed.

    probarly the patcher is overused by ever 1 trying to update.

    i downloaded the patch just before the main was over in less then 60 sec.

    Lol, go install WoW and then the last expansion and then let it up date....when it's done a day later if you're lucky you'll realize bad it can really be.

    I've been patching for a little over 2 hours and its less than half way through, never had a problem like this with another MMO

    Unfortunately its going to be this sort of issue that keeps me from subbing beyond the initial 30 days

    WEB UPDATES... please... this p2p shte really is lame as all isp's world over are profiling. Give us a 'olde worlde' link for updates for gods sake! p2p really isnt re-inventing the wheel! Patching for 2 hours and 2.3%! At least WoW had mirrors.....

    Would it be so difficult to list patches via http and make them available?... Ive spent 3 days d/l patches and most of the time playing being rubber banded all over the universe... (and then dying!) Guess my credit card has legs.....

    That explains the patcher's multiple-personality issues.

    I am euro,

    The patching (and downloading from cryptic) is really fast. Much better than Wow, EQ2, etc.

    This guy never played SWG on dial-up. But anyway... it wasn't slow for me. Kinda f**ked me up when I saw a 300+MB patch that only required about 80MB (maybe more??) to download. Not used to seeing a patcher with a display like that... minus Allods.

    Sure there isn't.

    My connection is throttled at 100kb/s and I downloaded and patched the game in about 20 mins.

    Unless you're torrenting other stuff, or you have a worse connection then mine you're trolling.

    Much less than 60 seconds for me. Patching has always been pretty quick (so far).

    Give meh ur interwebs! -.- lol

    But yeah, too many people don't understand how the internet works and don't understand that its not always just a Their Server/Your computer problem.

    There are LOTS of things inbetween.
