Sounds like ppls ISP are screwing them over, not SE.
its not my ISP at all when you see in the third imae i posted that at the same time the torrent program downloads faster and was run at the same time:-
uTorrent - 1mb/s +
FFXIV DL - 25.3kb/s

also having a dedicated 100mb internet connection with 0 restrictions and downloading at 30kbps while a torent program downloads at over 1bmps i think it reflects on the client program that is the problem

i have proven its SE's issue not my ISP, have tested on other ISP's and getting the same results. downloading the same file with the same trackr using 2 different clients and one is running waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay slower than the other one, hmmm i think alot of people would agree that the problem lies with the ffxiv updater

You know... being the Official game forums and all. I'm pretty sure a dev's gonna step in once they get caught up with the mess from last night.
basically its SE's patch file from SE's tracker so all is legit. SE need to start doing things properly and stop sucking at things. i posted this to show SE they have an issue with the updater, i have proved it and i REALLY hope they will do something about it. but knowing SE they will fo nothing about it
