Any chance you could be a bit more specific, please? I can't find the patch, can you give the directory?

I had a chance to play in FFXIV beta and gave up because of the downloader. A friend recently recommended trying the game whilst there is no subscription fee, so I bought a copy, patched without a problem and am enjoying myself so far.

The patch today, however, is just as bad as back in beta. Most of the time my upload speed is throttling my download speed, or they are both at 0. It has taken over 5 hours to download 21%!

I'm excited about all the changes which are coming in this patch and others which are planned, but I am extremely disappointed to find the same problem with the downloader. I tried the Utorrent earlier, but couldn't get it to work. In any case, we shouldn't have to do this; most mmo's can be downloaded with no problems, so what on earth prevents FFXIV downloader from working as it should?

I would love to have an explanation and also a proposed plan to resolve the issue some time soon.
