Speed of patching servers?

Post by ohmatty »

Hi All,

I've just created my account and downloaded the client (1.5GB in about 2 hours).

The game has been patching for 9 hours now... just over 100MB downloaded. Is this the normal speed I can expect for applying patches? I know there is a lot to download but speeds of 3 - 5 kbs is crazy... I'm a patient person I just would like to know if I should expect this everytime they patch?

EDIT: I should add that I am in Australia and hello to everyone! I am an EQII refuge.

it's not only the download process, but also the applying of the patches to the files, if your cpu/hdd are a bit slow they might slow down the patching itself as well. :)

The latest torrent link from the homepage is almost completely patched up. I think there are only 2 patches to get through since then. If you have a good connection, getting the full client again may be an option.

The patching gets buggered up sometimes. If you stop it it will start over where you left off.

I've restarted the patching a few times. after 17ish hours I am on file 6/10 speed has been consistent everytime. about 3 - 5kbs.

More time to read through the lore about the game :)
