Update download time

Anywone out there have a round about when we can start downloading...im one of those unlucky ppl that have a slow 1.5mb connection. I hope we can start updating early and not at the 24 hr mark. Any insight is appreciated. Thank You

i too have a 1.5mb connection i didn't think there was anyone else like that these days, i was better at my parents house in 2007 xD .. now i live on the top floor (21st) of a 55year old building which hasn't had phoneline changes since they were installed.. goooooo slow download!!

in all seriousness i cannot see them allowing you to download the patch untill it has been fully implemented.. i am no code expert but i wouldn't have thought there was a way to do it before it was completed

Do own a 150mbit/s connection so for around 3 gig I need on the worst case scenario 30 mins ^^.

Most updates in FFXI you could already patch your game while they were still working on the servers. Think it is not up yet because they are changing server (groups) and so on. Would be nice if it goes up somewhere in the next 4 hours so I can download it before I go look up my bed :P

Yea 1.5 is the fastest I can get atm w/o switching companies out here in the middle of bum F nowhere. I downloaded XIV on a 10mb connection but now that I only have 1.5 im scared itll take forever..Plus wife also has to update hers :/....how long did it take you to download XIV on ur 1.5 connection?

1mb :( will take around 8.5 hours for 3 GB

1.5 mb is pretty fast for my standards. Unless you mean 1.5 megabit.

I got a partial DL and now getting errors hope this gets fixed not looking good.

Nah I mean 1.5 megabytes...but actual downloading is 1/10th of that so..approx. 130ish or so kbps. and that factoring in kids not streaming Netfix etc

Just a launcher update here. Nothing big. Content download is not available yet.

I have the same problem, only sister instead. when we update other games we usually let her desktop running the patch/update/whatever and then transfer it to mine. still takes a while but is still a lot faster than having both of us download it (especially downloading at the same time usually completely kills our connection)

This made me put it out..doesn't seem all that bad

I'm patching right now.

Just started downloading, total of 3017.68 MB.

Even with a 100 MBit line I only get 0.11 MB/s, i.e. 508 minutes at the moment.


Wee, now I am at 0.01MB/s, just 4514 minutes to go.

46mins downloasding at 1mb/s

^ yea me too..its up a little over 3 Gigs...time remaining is making me light that cig again :/

56 minutes for me @ 1.0 ish

22min @ 4mb/s. yay

:(

oh well. at least I can start now and don't have to wait until tomorrow morning (already almost 9 pm over here so there was a chance)
I was thinking about setting my alarm clock for every 2 hours... lol

You guys are stealing my bandwidth. :(

31m @ 2.34MB/S

29 minutes at 2.5mbps

I think I saw I was doing 3.17 mb/s? Probably slowed down now. Oh well, gotta build some VMs and doing some hw.

Well its safe to say my "upwards of 5hrs" suggestion was a little off lol.. i like being wrong in this case though

Woot 8m DL, 100m down FTW :)

All updated. :)

I'm all updated, just going to wait patiently until the server goes back up.

i have a 0.3 MB/s connection so i have to wait 2 hours for this update (minimum) D:



EDIT: well my net is now 0.06MB/s so now i have to wait 444 mins to play :D

My update finished in about 10 minutes on my PC, doing my PS3 right now

Done. Took about 45 minutes and my connection is not that great.

took about 15-20 minutes here on my pc

Hopefully by the time I get in from work, the download will be a smooth and easy transition.

I lived with 1mb/s for years, during beta I had 500kb/s. Get over it, if you start downloading now you'll easily make it -.-
