3 days into patching the update, still not even to the 50% mark

The new patch is rewriting every single .dat file in my install, one at a time. The launcher itself often looks frozen - I have to go into windows explorer and refresh folders to see files updating...
It was downloading them at 300kb/sec so I put in port triggers and port forwarding yesterday and closed then restarted the launcher (pause button was greyed out).
Sadly this restarted the process... It started writing to the very files it spent the first 2 days making... at 40mb/sec initially, but slowly dropping until hitting 800 kb/sec this morning...
Is this... avoidable? At this pace my machine is locked up for the next week...
My internet is usually a 200mb/sec download... 30mb/sec up...

misfitmanic✭✭✭Could be related to hdd write performance. I use a SSD and my patch times consist of a trip to the kitchen and back.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I suggest you post this on the appropriate technical support forum for your platform. I assume it's PC but you might want to mention if it's Mac.
Basically with any game patch, if the download speed keeps dropping then pause the download and resume it to get a better speed. I've had to do that a lot with SWTOR, for example, as others have also had to do. It shouldn't need to rewrite every file, however, unless it's told you that it's running a repair and even then it sounds drastic. Make sure you have plenty of free space on your drive in case it's trying to install stuff and failing. You might also clarify whether the problem is with the initial downloading or post-download installing.
However, the technical guys are the ones to help you.0 -

Uninstall the game and reinstall. With your speeds it will be fast. You probably have an amazingly corrupted game. Happened to me before, just uninstall and reinstall.0 -

✭I have a Guild Mate who has his client re-download the entire game every time there's a big update. He's gone through Support and the Forums. No real idea why it's doing it. It takes him a day or so to DL everything again.
So, there are people who feel your pain.Wake up, we're here. Why are you shaking? Are you ok? Wake up...0
