Patch download too slow

3.9% and not moving while i can watch movies in Netflix. Its not my connection problem. Is there an option to download the official patch?

Idk, I've been having problem with this patch as well. I've tried the regular client, I've tried utorrent, and I have tried a direct DL provided by a friend. ALL THREE have failed (client est. days, utorrent Downloads, but the patch doesn't work, and direct dl only gives me a partial file.)

just a terrible patcher as always. Dalamud will hit before half of us get through downloading this patch it seems.

Yep, this is the slowest patch download I have experienced. Not sure why it's being this slow. O.o

(For reference: I normally get several hundred kilobytes a second using XIV's patcher, I'm barely getting over 10 kb/s and frequently dropping to 0.)

having the same problem... up 120kb/s and then down to zero, up to 2 bytes down to zero and it'll stay there for 5 mins back up to 10kb/s... uploading at 120kb/sec consistently... I really lothe this patcher...

Same here. >.< I can't wait for the new client.

welcome to the world of P2P networking, this is normal when there's not enough seed peers for a file.

Why am I always uploading hundreds of KBs, but downloading mostly 0 with the occasional single/double digits?

Once extracted, move to C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV\downloads\ffxiv\48eca647\patch and enjoy!

I'm having the same issue. My internet isn't anything grand, or worth writing home about, but when I returned to the game ~1 month ago, the patcher was fine. Downloading consistently at what my (awful) internet is capable of downloading. But today, it's not getting close to even those abysmal speeds. I've stopped and restarted it several times, and I'm stuck at around 30%. It'll sit there uploading, but it's being really finicky about downloading. I remember having these issues shortly after launch, but when it worked so well when I returned, I had hoped they had been fixed. I guess that is not the case.
