Yeh my Uni blocks it too, even student apartments do. Fortunately I dont live in one but the torrent still sucks, and all these idiots like "open this port n that port", it barely helps stop trying to act like you're the big geek. I change routers and reset mine so often that i dont even bother opening ports and somedays I can get 500kb/s on the xiv patcher, other times its 7hrs for 5mbs lol. And other things I torrent is always 1-2mb/s, even XIV patcher now wont budget of 0b/s for the past 30 mins, while utorrent has climbed a hefty 73% in that time.
The problem with direct is cost and traffic, its all demanding on the server, where as torrent we are using OUR BANDWIDTH to provide SE'S CUSTOMERS with THEIR GAME. Kinda bullshit really that we're having to pay to keep people playing their game cuse they're so shitty to provide direct.
just google the name of patch file, I bet there's a lot of ppl upload it to MediaFire or MegaShare
imagine about what SE thought at the first place... kinda funny
Tanaka: Our game must have a million players! we can't handle the direct patch update! better make it P2P
Wada: Good idea, Let's do it nao!!

I'm having a hell of a time downloading this patch. Never have had this issue before, but I guess it is my time to deal with it lol.
See you guys online in about a week =(
This Is An Annoying Problem For Anyone. Which Could Very Easily Be Fixed.
Of Course Weezy ^^ lol Just A Typing Addiction. *Shift Master 4000*
Yes! Please do something about this horrible, sad joke of an updater, I've been running it since 8PM last night and I'm still only 46.6% complete. The estimated time to complete was about 7 hours, then dropped to 2 hours, 15 minutes. In reality, IT HAS BEEN THE BETTER PART OF A DAY AND IT'S NOT EVEN HALFWAY DONE!!!!! Now I'm royally pissed. It will even be worse for me, since my main machine, which I play the game on was out for repairs, it was declared a total loss and offered to be relaced under my service plan, but what is the point, if I have a week-long or even a month-long download just to load/update the game?!?!?!
This is not a request, it's an Ultimatum: FIX THE UPDATER, AND FIX IT NOW!
