    I assure you it's not caused by lack of peers. My guess is SE is doing some sort of dumb region based peer filtering i.e. they might be limiting your potential peer downloads to only a few people in your area.

    A regular torrent client will exchange peer info with others regardless of what the tracker decides so they can't stop you from downloading from everyone around the world.

    P2P will always be slow with the seed : peer ratio, just the way it is. OFC their client is terribad, uTorrent capped around 500k after more seeds were available. Still took 30min for 300MB though ... but not as bad as it could have been.

    I get 0 remote with (hardware) ports forwarded and no windows firewall enabled with this silly patcher.

    *edit* least with a client, you can seed while playing after. Just make sure its not 100% of your UL bandwidth ^.~

    I'm not here to defend the downloader. It obviously has a lot of issues. However, those of you who always show 0 remote connections even after the downloader has been running for several minutes should definitely try forwarding ports if you haven't done so yet. (Others in this thread have explained which ports, etc.) On my old modem it shortened my patch download time from a few hours down to a few minutes. Things usually get much faster when remote connections start to show up.

    Again, it's apparent from the posts on this forum that forwarding ports isn't doing the trick for everyone, but it's most definitely worth trying.

    On the modem I have issues with, forwarding the ports doesn't work but bridging the modem does. Of course, I'm not exactly comfortable doing that so I don't, but it is weird that opening ports doesn't fix it yet turning off the firewall all together does. In my case, it is definitely my modem. It just does not like SE's updater.

    I guess your modem doesn't like Japan, bunch of weirdos.
