    Well I'm down to 588 files to go on my second machine now doing the SE download.
    So I should hopefully make it in for 7-pm UK time. Nothing going wrong from now.

    That download is confusing me that a few people are referring to.
    I downloaded it. And it says on the site "Drag the contents of the zip into C:\Program Files (x86)\PlayOnline\SquareEnix"
    Well the contents of the zip is a folder called strangely enough FINAL FANTASY XI.
    Which surprise surprise, I already have a folder with the same name in my \SquareEnix folder.

    So I am being told to basically overwrite my 10.4GB folder with the downloaded one containing 1509 files totaling 844MB guys?
    You must think I was born yesterday :/
    What are the actual proper instructions with what to do with this download please?

    I'm pretty sure if you ask it to be overwritten, it keeps the older files in it, it just adds the newer files...

    Yes thank you.
    Finally read a bit further in the topic on the site with the download and some other doofus like me asked the same question.
    Just dropped the folder straight from winzip onto the SquareEnix folder and it merged them.

    Now to get it to do the file check.
    This is going to be the good bit. Can't get in for love nor money :/

    *edit*
    yes cheers whoever posted the update download link.
    2 mins after finally getting it to do the file check, I'm in ^^

    This better be good SE.
    I want 1000 free Traverser Stones for this. I mean it

    Or they can continue doing what they do, by doing nothing and letting the congestion sort itself out in a couple days of users fighting to get it finished.

    Remember that this game has hardly a budget. Everything runs under SE Account now and they couldn't even be bothered to slim down the POL viewer to make it faster to launch into FFXI for instance.
