Patch download time?

My speedtest.net rating shows I should be downloading at 30Mbps... but I've been downloading at 250Kbps for five hours now... I have the launcher set to unlimited speed. What's going on?!

    Very similar here, probably from many of us downloading at same time, servers gasping for bandwidth. Hasn't happened in the past since we were able to download before patch went live.

    And now after 5 hours I have a "WebGet request failed 2060.83 MB remaining 0.0kB/s" ...

    What's the deal here... same issue - I cant even break 300k/b a sec! Also, my patching stops and errors out now and then and I have to re launch the launcher.

    It's not bandwidth. I'm on ventrillo with a friend of mine who started downloading an hour after me, and has already started questing an hour ago.

    Same here with the speed and now with the WebGet fail. I'm on Comcast, anyone else with this problem on Comcast?

    Yeah I have a fast fiber-optic connection (over 60 Mbps), but the best I could manage was 4 Mbps. The download didn't take long enough for me to get riled about it, but I understand the frustration at slower speeds when you know you have a connection that can potentially deliver data much faster.

    I'm getting the WebGet fail now myself.

    That being said... the patch download wasn't available 5 hours ago. More like 3.

    Comcast / Xfinity here. I'm glad they're marketing on TV to gamers now. Pff.

    I am hitting an average of 700.00Kbps which is around average based upon my download speeds. The trick might be with your firewall settings, it frees up a lot of the in-game lag and loading times, perhaps it is also freeing up some ports for faster update D/L speeds? Could be worth a look?

    I just paused and restarted, switched the limit to 10mbs, then back to unlimited and now I'm getting the best I've had all day. Still under what I should be getting, though.

    Edit: Just hit 26 mB/s, highest I've ever had downloading a game/update

    Good call. I disabled AVG just in case. I'm getting random bursts of 2mBps now that slowly decays back down to the same speeds I had in '97.

    Comcast here too, although that has never mattered in the past, but to note this issue - I also get the WEBGET FAIL error and have to re-luanch
