    I might not be the brightest red apple hanging in the orchard, but when it comes to big patches like this I turn off my AV and drop my firewall for downloads and it stays steady @ 633.08 kB/s then turn it all back on and run a A.V. check. Like I said might not be smart, but it's effective IMO.

    I'm admittedly bad at math but isn't that still less than the 1MB/sec indicated in the OP? :\

    My patcher said 14.53 mb/s not 1.4 mb/s. Unless that meant how fast it was applying the patch and not the actual download.

    I'm just being an I.T nerd.

    There is a difference between mb/s and MB/s

    0.61824218-ish MB/s if you want to get technical LOL, maybe I was seeing the beginning upload for the download (I ain't no techie that's for sure) Just looked on my gaming rig to see what it's at now.

    Rocking a whole 23.6MB/s now.

    I start others downloads and get about 4mbps so the problem isnt my connection.

    I was lingering around 750kb for a long while, then it bumped up for 2.3mb for a big chunk, back down below 1mb again. My internet connection tends to suffer with large downloads but sounds like I'm not the only one. EST getting out of work doesn't help matters, though I started before then and still chugging along! I'm most anxious to see if any of my vet armor looks cooler now :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Lol lucky for you guys. My connection is rather slow so I only get 100kbs download speeds according to the launcher. It takes an entire day or more for a 2 gb update. Still, it's friday so I'll be at work. Not losing any gaming time.

    As long as it finishes for my weekend gaming party I'll be happy. Also getting ready to put on my focks-I-don't-give filter for all the "DK is now useless" moaning on the zone chat.

    I'm sitting at around 28mB/s usually I am at 400-550. But there might be a lot of players trying to download that might have something to do with it. All these players are draining the system.........would you all just log off and we can take turns downloading :)


    Me first.
