Seen a few posts/threads about the notoriously slow patcher that has people leaving their PC afk for hours on end due to the slow download speed.

I live in Australia which has less than reputable internet speed and normally have an issue with the patcher, despite being closer to Japan than Most countries.

However for the first time ever (including FFXI), patch downloaded within 20 minutes at peek hour time, much to my pleasant suprise.

I thought I would make this thread to counter the negative posts about the patcher.

For those of you who are stuck, perhaps a manual download would be more effective.

Thank You SE
