I'm not sure if my patcher is getting stuck... i constantly seem to be stuck on updating data/zone.xsip every now and then it will change to something else and then go back... if i hit abort the patcher freezes and crashes..
Any idea if i am actually patching or not? Because i don't notice much difference when using the internet for other things.
The patch server simply doesn't have the upstream it needs to if they are going to insist on rolling out 1.5 gigs of the same data each week. My server is located in the same city as theirs (I'm in the UK) and I download from it at about 1.5mb/s - 30kbps from their EU server or 20kbps from their US server is a complete joke.
Would love it if any of you lording it over us that by some miracle of luck you've already got the patch decided to do the decent thing and up it to an ftp or direct download site. Given that you got this patch in less than an hour, uploading a compressed version will not take much longer than that, and really won't impact your gameplay much either
Still patching.....damn i have skills to skill and french people to kill ( ingame only ofc)

MegaUpload file works perfect, only had to update an aditional 2MB. playing now
The issue definitely seems to be that it downloads one patched file, and then adds it to the archive (the "updating data/zone.xsip" bit) - adding to the data archive is EXTREMELY slow, doing it as each file downloads is just not the best process for that. It would be far better to download all the files, and then add them to the archive in one pass.
