Download for 30+ hours, still hasn't finished

It will download at 500kb a second, then slowly go down to 0 and stop.
I have to constantly pause and resume it.

I have my router on no ports blocked.
I have my firewall and virus scanner with exceptions for the laucher and eso executables.

I've followed all the steps that I can find.

This happens every update, but usually they finish overnight. However, this update is the largest yet.

If you can't manage to make a patcher that works, can you at least offer a download file, because I've never had problems and easily download from other sites consistently at 1-2 mbs at a time.

I understand that there may be many people concurrently downloading, but looking on the forums I see I'm not alone here.

    I turned off all my firewalls and virus protection put my download settings to 10000MB/s in options and went from 800-900kb to 4.5mb and downloaded it in 1 1/2 to 2 hours. It toped out sometimes at 30mb - 40mb

    Life isn't measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

    I don't want to turn OFF my firewall, but let me try it.

    Ok, I have ZERO protection running, and that doesn't seem to affect the speed.

    Was wondering if you changed you download speed to 10MBps, press that cog wheel at top right of Launcher next to the min screen and the X to close launcher, scroll down to bottom where it said Maximum Download and change to 10MBps, that's all I did and it got better not perfect but a lot better.

    I did, and it didn't have an effect.

    I'm suspicious that it's my ISP.

    Comcast is notorious for boasting high speeds, but for boosting speeds only for the first (x) period of time.

    If I pause for a second or two, and resume. I easily get 2 mbps.
