    I assume you are aware that the game/patch download speed is shown in mB/s rather than mbps? (Ie. MegaBYTES per second, rather than MegaBITS - so a download speed shown on the launcher as being 1.2 mB/s is nearing 10 mbps).

    You aren't reading the status of your download. When it says 48mbs, it is applying a patch, not downloading. It will go back and forth between downloading and applying patches. Typical download speeds are 2 to 3mb/s.

    If you find that your download starts to creep lower than 2mb/s, you can try to pause the download for half a minute or so, then resume it. Sometimes this will speed up the download. I can't say for sure, but it may be because you get connected to a different server that isn't as busy?

    i am downloading at 400kb/s and i really need some help about how to speed this up, otherwise this will take me several days of leaving my computer on...

    Not acceptable.

    I'm having similar issues. Current download speed is 12.81 kB/s, but keeps fluctuating between 3 and 20 kB/s (never going above 20). I have no other things open, and I've already checked my connection. I have Verizon and currently have a download speed of 60 Mbps. I understand other users might be patching at the same time as me, but this patch has been out for a while now and this download speed is beyond ridiculous, regardless. At this rate, it will take me until the time the next patch is available to download 2540.56 MB.

    This is completely unacceptable.

    I started fresh install of Windows then went straight to downloading the game. I'm stuck at 2mb/s and have had this running all night. It is only at 19% this morning. I have Spectrum internet with 300mb/s download speeds on average.
