cant sine on ?

Would it kill them to add an option to try until success? It's not exactly fun sitting there pressing retry every 5 seconds for 60 hours.

Actually, it probably would. Requiring it to be manual reduces the number of incoming connection attempts, and they can only support a finite number of connections.

So long as they don't overhaul POL for P2P updates, they need to leave it as-is to keep from DDoSing themselves.

actually what they need to do is change it so its an update queue so people are put in line to wait rather than being disconnected, sure it would take longer but it would serve to help their update server mess

It would be better to add a server based pre-que. That way as people logged on it would put them in line after the update info is downloaded and you wouldn't have people hammering the servers with retries. Notice I said server side que? If it was client side based people would hack it and jump the line an get their downloads first.

As for waiting 60 hours. Go do something else then until things cool down. I don't think they'll be permanently shutting down the game just yet so have a little patience. In the end when things cool down you'll be able to log on, get your download 1st try at a faster speeds and not constantly disconnect.

It amazes me how some people got lucky enough to stay connected through the update >.> I get to the first part, it sits for about a minute then kicks me lol Speaking of people who got connected, doubt anyone here is since they'll be in game, but anyone know if its a tele from waypoint? or a boat/airship to get to Adoulin?

Why on earth SE haven't started releasing updates via direct download on multiple mirrors is beyond me. They knew there would be massive congestion when downloading the update for an expansion, but still force everyone to download using PlayOnline which at this point belongs in a museum.
