Pre-download is up!

I think the reason why the download speed is slow for a lot of people is because so many people are downloading the same thing at once.

My download is going as fast as my usual max download speed for anything on a good day (0.40mb/s). At least its twice the speed of when I was downloading heavensward a few years back (could only get 0.20mb/s back then).
Obnoxiously slow IS my norm XD

I worry I will not be able to download today because the download keep crashing at certain points with it saying "unable to download [.....] patch".

Not to mention the patch will suddently get very slow with download with it starting from 20 minutes then skyrocket to 200 or more minutes to download.

Mine started off much lower then I got an error and restarted download and the file this time is 7.5GB's about twice what it was before.

I think there maybe a issue with the patch files being downloaded due to the revamp towards the entire Classes/Jobs and combat system. However, Day 1 bugs is expect since they did completely revamp the entire combat system in 5.0 at a much larger scale this time.

My download is stable, but I had to quit out of WoW, because the game streaming while playing was killing my speeds.

It's still obnoxiously slow for my norm though.

It's the missing genders it's looking for them

Thanks for the heads up, see you in "20 minutes".

(Is there really a slowed interval people are experiencing?)

Considering that mine is gonna take 7 hours, I died a little reading your post T^T

Actually, this is obnoxiously slow to begin with. When I closed WoW it jumped up to being done in under an hour to now 0.28MB/s 425 minutes.



It'd be cool if everyone could just stop downloading it so I can get mine done.

Nice pic, lol. I am torn. I was going to go to bed early so I am not tired in the morning... but then the download was available so late and I am paranoid about it messing up and me not being here. So do I stay up and watch it to make sure it downloads and deal with potentially being a bit tired, or do I go to bed and hope for the best.
