Slowest I've ever seen with cable connection. Presumably there's a lot more people than usual trying to patch in since there's an actual new thing to play and it's only around for a few days instead of a whole week or so.
I guess the server upgrade work earlier this week was actually a server "downgrade. It took me the better part of 10 minutes for the patch to upload 20.6MB (1%) and then it froze.
In the immortal words of Captain Sisko: "It may not be what you believe, but that doesn't make it wrong."
Don't believe the lies in this forum. I am NOT an ARC user. I play STO on Steam or not at all.
West coast US, just hit 50% after 3 hours. Sounds like a lot of you are getting it much faster, and you European guys who are saying how bad you got it are looking pretty good right now.
I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

very very very sloooooowwwww. I tried patching earlier before the game was back up and it was slow then too.
Looks like I'm getting 1% per minute, so 100 minutes to download. GJ Cryptic!
don't believe this has anything to do with number of players patching, wasn't even this slow when doing a major expansion, think this is down to something else entirely.
try part patching, any time the patch seems to freeze click cancel and then click patch when it highlights, still a slow process but it seems to speed things along a little, each time the amount to be patched reduces.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.

Took a bit to connect but is moving at least.

EDIT: Stuck at 22% now for about half an hour, not moving at al.
It works fine usually. Probably the non-storm currently passing over - it's messing with the bean cans and string we call broadband.
We come in peace, SHOOT TO KILL!

0% right now.
I should count myself lucky that I'm close to Boston and that after an hour I've gotten halfway there from what I'm reading.
