So. Currently I'm downloading the patch at 370.77 kbps. Let me say that again, 370.77 KBPS I have a 3mb connection. I left the damn thing on overnight and only got 3%.

Tried port forwarding and disabling firewall. Nothing.

Is it because the game just went B2P and so many people are downloading at once and it's overloading the servers? Because if that's the case I'd be fine with that.

    And you are sure you're not confusing 3Mb/s, 3MB/s and 370 Kb/s and 370KB/s? Because 3Mb/s equals to 384 Kb/s which is pretty close to the speed you're downloading at.

    I was going to say something smart alek about know the difference and that I had dealt with computers for 20 years....

    Then that little voice, I call it the, "Nooooooooooooooooo" button told me to check just in case.

    It's going at 370.12 KB (K and the B capitalized). So then my other voice that goes, "We knew this, but we can't remember, no, don't look in the closet, you'll start an avalanche. You better wiki that." Turns out, you were right Caelo.

    Now. You -are- right. However. The updater has been going since 6am. It's 6:20pm where I am. Going at more or less constant stream for 12 hours. At 3mbs, that would be, according to http://www.numion.com/calculators/time.html because I hate math, it would have been around 12 gigabytes I've downloaded so far.

    That begs the question. To go from ESO off the shelf, to ESO fully patched, how many freakin' gigabyes are we talking here? The updater says it is only 5% done! With another 4.5 gigabytes to go.

    What did they put in the patches? The floor plans for the Death Star?

    Lots of updates to sounds and nee models + textures. You know, what makes up 95% of todays games. And they probably touched half of it :)

    Also I did make a mistake 3Mb/s = 384KB/s not 384Kb/s
