Which is bad because when the game is released there will be much more traffic. I would suggest providing a torrent link to download the client as well, that way all the traffic load wont be on the server at release.
    When its downloading it actually displays the downloaded amount/full file size. So I could see it was downloading and not doing anything else, I could see the downloaded number growing, but it was growing very slowly.

    Virtus, if you'd like some download test from Europe, let me know.

    What does take a long time is processing packs and they are looking into why.

    Is it purely downloading that it takes a long time on or does this include processing packs?

    Jadzia, your experiencing slower DL then usual, since you DLed the game multiple times now. Is it because of processing?
    50mb in 5 mins is only 170kb/s. Thats really slow considering I can get 1.4mb/s DL speed from Steam and torrents. Your patch server isnt fine, its like the loser at the special olympics.

    The programmer looking into this just headed off sleep. He's going to focus on this tomorrow. The processing packs is definitely slower than a regular download and I'm wondering if that is affecting the entire download server. I'm not sure as the launcher is one of the few things I haven't worked on personally. I'll update again on this as soon as possible.

    Ok just tested download speeds with several VPN's

    My download speed UK was 45kbs
    Amsterdam speed was 50kbs
    USA Washington speed was 150kbs

    These are peak speeds hope it helps.

    Edit - My line is the UK one.
