It's patching time again.

Do this on your router
Then this
Never had any problems downloading any patch.
For reference: used a 7Mbps in the past and now using a 15Mbps Cable ISP in Montreal, Canada.
Mine speeds up, goes like 10-15-25-40-50-60 then it realises "hang on this aint right" and goes to 0.0B/s.
Think yaself lucky I moved from a 60mb connect to 2mb, I almost died the first week. ;.;
It clearly does has issues, when Utorrent can download the file in a fraction of the time.
And more people equal faster downloads when you are using P2P to download.
Well I decided to throw it into uTorrent and then went to get a drink, came back and it was done. Download time 4 minutes and 32 seconds.
Using the "Patcher" I still have 3:26:04 to go, SE fix your junk ><
756k UP. 10mb Down. done in 30min installed. i dunno. Might just be location. I'm in Eastern Pa.
man their patcher is horrible. but the worst part is the fact we are downloading the same patch over and over...causing it to take even longer. Like someone else mentioned..when we get the huge 1.18 patch are we seriously gonna have to redownload that again with 1.18a/1.18b??! you gotta be kidding me.
I never had a problem during 5 years downloading ffxi patchs.
Once I properly port forwarded and port triggered for ffxiv, my update time went from 3 hours to 30 mins, and then it was about 15 mins max.
And yeah my longest wait time for FFXI patch on computer was 1 hour, and that was an expansion I believe, average was 10-15 mins.
