I don't really have an error. I just wanted to say that I've downloaded ESO to 2 computers already, and now I'm trying to download it on my new computer, and everytime it takes about an week until I can play the game. Just an hour ago my download was showing 21%, now it is back to 9% and it has been downloading for a full day. It did the same with the mac, it did the same with the PC. No game has ever exhausted me so much during its installation process. It makes you wanna never play the game. I think I'm starting to hate ESO a bit.

So, yeah, that's all I wanted to say.

    Hmm..

    Only need the first download, then copy and paste that to second computer.

    Keep a back-up copy and then you can use that if your game really hacks up a hairball.

    And yes the "Launcher" is slower than snot on a cold day.

    Yeah since you seem to play on plenty of pc's I highly recommend making a copy. ESO is easy, even if you want to put it on a different hard drive its a matter of drag and drop

    There is definitely something strange about the way the launcher downloads. Mine used to be very slow as well taking 6-10 hours to download. I've had to re-download the game about 6 times in the last couple weeks while I'm experimenting with Win 10 setups. But about a week ago, I suddenly started getting 6-7MB/s download speeds and its now taking 15-20 minutes for a download. What changed? Who knows, nothing changed on my end. BTW, I have a 60+ Mb/s download connection(tested on speedtest.net), which is 7.5MB/s download, and ESO is now utilizing almost all of that.
