Agreed ^^ But thank god I have unlimited bandwidth, or XIV patches would ruin me =O

Now if the updater worked...
Sad.
Bugfix patches are great, but they should not take this long to release.
XIV is the only place where I can actually have a download speed thats in the bytes lol.
/panic /dance :cool:
Here's what I'd like to know.
Quad-core i7 950, 12 GB of RAM. I start the client up and it's working fine, not stalling.
5 minutes later, I turn on my wife's PC, an older Athlon II X4. She never had any "remote connections", 20 local. I have 34 remote, 26 local. I don't even know what that's supposed to mean anyway, it's a poorly-worded indicator. I assume remote is other users, local is SE-managed nodes, but I dunno.
Her PC has since finished the update, and my PC is just past 50%.
We're on the same connection, on the same switch even.
What's up with that?
I think it's (using torrent vernacular since that's what the updater is) remote = leechers, local = seeders.
Just a guess, though.
I am also now uploading faster than I'm downloading. Bang up job, guys.
It's incompetence like this that makes me wish aliens would invade and enslave us. At least we'd weed out the slackers.
All I know is that I'm downloading 328 MB through a third-party torrent application in order to receive 5 bug fixes.
Well have been downloading from the minute it went up and I am at 37.1% and have an estimated time of finishing in 4:34:12 wtf ><
I finished mine already...

I honestly think it has to do with ISP/modem they provide as to why some people have trouble and others don't. I have two internet connections. On one computer, dsl, the other cable, but same speedband. The cable is done, the dsl is sitting there currently at 13% with no download data coming through, no remotes, and uploading at 100k to about 12 local connections. This happens every patch. It is faster to run a cord and copy the files over from my other computer.
Dummy Cut. Can I have it?
Having shitty luck again as well.
A decent updater 9 months down the road isn't really asking for too much.
remote and local is a bad translation, it should read
inbound connections
outbound connections
I gave up with Patcher and threw it into uTorrent it downloaded in 4 mins 32
Not sure we can even say that without being sanctioned ^^
i think i found a source :)
but still... if even bigger updates hit... does SE want people to rage quit a game because the "improvement" downloads took 1 week? lol
I left the updater on while doing some other stuff.
