Unfortunately, if you are able to download it with a VPN, then you are likely running into a routing issue along your way to the server. The VPN is taking you along another route where you avoid these issues. In this situation, I'd suggest contacting your ISP and making a report with them.

Thank you for visiting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.
Ok, Being real right now. Pretty much everyone I know in this country has been having an issue connecting to YOUR server. I think if the issues is at this wide of scale, you should be investigating your own routes from the akamai server, because this is a widescale issue that's been ongoing since around the release of 5.1.
It's like the content is not properly deployed on the server though. Because reports say that content IS being downloaded but erroring in the middle. Everyone is reporting that it stalls at the same point of content.

I am seriously failing to understand how a entire countries ISPs are all collectively having problems with a single server, and suddenly it's their fault?

Like I'd understand if this was only a problem for like at most 48 hours? But it's been over 2 weeks, coming up 3 and there's be absolutely no progress made, no official statement on any social media to at acknowledge the issue with how widespread it has been talked across multiple community sites. Like people have been tweeting this to the English twitter account and I've seen next to no response, only other people who know how to mitigate the issue, but it isn't really a solution, since the system is not working correctly, it really should be rectified.
