Slow patch download

Hi there,

I'm having terrible issues with downloading the 2GB patch.

After reading around a bit, I thought the solution was to download through the EU proxy.

This was when my patch was 31% downloaded. Restarted, and now it's back to 0% again and still horribly slow.

I'm on 20Mb, and I expected to have this done in about an hour; it's now been 4 hours and my download speed is on 50-80kB/s.

Any solutions?

    It is impossible to patch via the EU proxy, the "Patch via proxy" option always goes via the US one, and it only helps in very very rare circumstances (which is why it tells you that you probably shouldn't be enabling it). The percentage is just a progress in the current download session, if you disconnect and reconnect (almost) no progress is lost. Where are you located and what is your ISP?
