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.
It seems to me that the official updater causes a lot of gripe for many people- I spent at least twice as long not downloading as I did downloading with the FFXIV updater.

But this isn't a hack or anything, it's just using a different tool for the same goal. I don't view that as being an illegal way to obtain a file, unless the use of outside torrents are what cause the lag for the official updater.

(Edit: Someone posted about a minute before me while I was typing! But slightly different posts.)
