Man... Client is downloading the update at a snails pace :(
5.5 hours remaining until I can log in :(
mmhmm I heeeard that! Wish I didnt hear that but I heeeard that!
Started updating at 1, wont be able to play until 7.
There is seriously somethign wrong with this when I can load the entire game fresh and fully update it in less time.
Good ol PS2 2002 state of the art technology at work!
The ironic part is that they didnt release this update on ps2..... o.O
im looking at about 20 mins assuming it doesnt disconnect me >.>
It's been saying estimate time remaining: 2 to 2 & 1/2 hours since 4 hours ago...
I left the room for 5 minutes... When I came back it had increased by 30 minutes...
I started at 2:00 it is now 4:34 and at 80%
Took a shower, in that time it went up 2% and added another 30min.
Started at 1, it's now 2, at 14%.
SE going to feed us some BS about congestion, not saying that there is none, what I am saying is that they can't own up to what they actualy did.
Mine has been hovering between 5 hours and 6 hours. Going back and forth over the last couple hours...
Currently at 20% :(
I guess the silver lining is that the time remaining is not really all that reliable...
The home of verdant trees and monopolies.
I have business class internet and may claim of being able to load and update teh game fresh by now is no exaggeration.
I finished mine in like 5 min guys must have slow internet or something
It has nothing to do with our internet connections. This is the only game / software that I own or have ever owned that downloads files this slow. This has always been a problem with FF XI. You must have gotten the update before everyone started downloading it. I am sitting at 2 hours and 30 mins now and I started the update over an hour ago.
It should not take this long to get a 1 gig update. I download other 1 gig files in minutes.
Yeah, but have you ever tried doing that during a period when there's just been a major patch and everyone is apparently slamming the download server trying to patch?Quote:

I don't think it matters when you start. Me and my brother play on 360 and I started my update then went to do his. Somehow mines is taking 5 hours and his update was done in about an hour. I am a little annoyed now since he is not even here. We are both on the same router same internet and everything.
I'm not blazing fast but I'm pulling a steady 40 Mbps. Don't think my internet speed is the bottleneck.
I just wish I could log in! I had the day off today and was eager to play FFXI. The maintenance was finished 3.5 hours ago and I still cant play :(
Currently at 43%...
Went to the store... 24%.
I'm so tempted to attempt to log out and re-start the patch... But I am too afraid that it will just start all over from the beginning and not be any quicker.
51%!!! O.o
Hmmm... I was tempted to try the update on my laptop because of these reports of drastically shorter times for people based on device (seemingly). But if I log into POL on my laptop it will stop the update on my desktop ><
So I continue to wait... Hopefully I will get to play a decent amount before I go to bed tonight...
55% and counting...
There are only 420 people on the server right now.....................
3:30 hours to go, 53%.
I have been checking my progress periodically... Last I remember seeing was around 60%...
Just walked in the room to find DISCONNECT :(
Time to restart...
Crap, I'm at 60% too. Time for me to disconnect. I better not leave the room. >.<
17 files remaining... 96%...
Bedtime...
81%, 1:28 hours left.
I started look at 7, now I'm looking at 10.
Crashed at 92%.
243 files, :28 minutes.
