1.21 Download Speed

I'm not sure if the dev's have optimized patch downloading, but I managed to download the patch within 10-15 minutes.

For such a big one, i was pleasantly suprised.

So thank you SE, being able to play before I can even finish reading the patch notes in great detail was a big +1 in my books.

I'm sure one good reason is they've finally blocked 3rd party torrent clients.

I have been downloading for hours, sitting at 0.0mb/s

it will spike up to 1.5mb/s for a few seconds, then straight back to 0

need a good torrent link lol

I got to 60% in about 30 minutes; I thought "They finally fixed this thing!" Then it got stuck and didn't do anything for another half-hour. I closed it out and downloaded the whole thing using uTorrent in 15 minutes.

The updater uses a torrent, so you already have one. YMMV depending on OS, username, and drive letter, but for me, it's located here:
E:\Users\username\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV\downloads\ffxiv\48eca647\metainfo\D2012.03.07.0000.torrent

I'm in Australia, so i imagine that i'd be a lot closer to the server than most people.

It was 500 KBs + steady. An australia's internet compared to the US/Asia is outdated at best.

Can't argue with the results.

6 hours awe yea! So, glad I couldn't download it before work. D=
