Cannot download client HELP!!!!

My game ran fine till latest patch. Then i kept getting unable to download patch errors within a minute of starting the download. After 10 attempts over the course of 12 hours, I uninstalled the game and ATTEMPTED a clean install. I say attempted because I am still getting failed to download errors!!!

What I have tried:
removed all ff14 files including old download files
downloaded launcher from official SE location
set DNS to 8888 and 8844
defraged and virus scanned entire system
rebooted router
plugged computer directly into router
used wifi
used vpn
set startup programs to only what was needed to run system
updated drivers
turned off xbox game panel
made sure the bios was up to date
