Ok, this is another post on the topic of the patch server and its NetZero High Speed connection...
It is clear at this point that the issue is a lack of bandwidth on Cryptic's part. Thought they would have been prepared for this. Also as you can tell I purchased the Legacy Pack (which hurts in my soul that I can't use what I paid a LOT for) and I still can't get anything.
At this point I have stoped trying to download it, I can actually Write 0,1,0,1 faster then what I am getting.
Here is a list of all that is going to waste, if you are dead in the bandwidth black hole too, share your connection vs Cryptic's. For lols of course.
My connection speed is 50 mbps. This 6GB patch should have taken just under 15 minutes to download. 3 hours into the patch though I've only managed 280MB, which translates into I think 20kbps. 50mb vs 20kb? something seems wrong with that... I just came back after quitting due to boredom several years ago, and was about to buy the lifetime sub while its on sale. Needless to say, that's not gonna happen now, lol.
Gotta love it when game companies are run by their investors instead of the developers. Freakin ******* are so obsessed with short-term profits by not wasting money on buying or upgrading their servers. They end up killing all their games at once, which loses them more money than they would have spent on proper upgrades. Its a miracle they make any profit at all with such lousy business ethics.
How do you internets?!?! I ask you because you know much about internets. Please explain internets to me. Series of tubes? Because I like how you think Cryptic is using a dedicated BGP configuration to your house and not uploading the patch via torrents or something of that nature....

Did they turn Tribble into a patch server or something o.O
