Isn't it about time that SE starts finding mirrors and putting up their patches for downloads over this method instead of requiring people to update through POL?

I mean these updates are less then 30 megs and take a couple hours to download on broadband?

C'mon now...
 
ROFL.. the last one did not take you five minutes to download and install.

And your computer has very little to do with how fast you download, that's all your connection. The quickness of your pc only helps durring the installing portion of anything.
 
My computer could so kick your computers ass.

:P Seriously though, these d/l times are getting to be pretty rediculous.
 
I don't want to hear ANYONE with broadband complaining.

Be thankful you actually live somewhere where it's available.

Mine take about 5 minutes. If you have a fast computer it isn't a problem. ^^

Yawn.. AMD FX51 64bit... Corsair Twin512 DDR400's... ATI X800 Pro 256mb... DSL connection

Computer does have a little bit to do with how fast your connection peforms but its not going to make a difference between downloading/installing that update in 5 minutes compared to the nearly 2hrs it took me.

Woulda taken me less then 3 minutes to download that file if it woulda been a standalone .exe patch =/

You Do know that this game is Server based and not client based right?

So, unless these Mirrors are linked to the server there is no possible way to download the client software. But this would just create more downtime on downloading because it would be eating up the servers main bandwith.

If they want to get things faster they should just build another download server. Witch I think they currently have like 3 or 4.

then wait about 10 hours for everything to die down (Like I did) then download at full speed! without having to worry about disconnecting
 
Mine only took 30 minutes on my PS2. Wasn't bad at all. Only bad part was when I decided to go outside and get fresh air during the update. Now I am horribly sunburnt and half blind from the sun.

Actually, yes, you can get the client files elsewhere. The only server-side aspect of the client files is the scanning to see if they're correct, and download/installation if they're out of date, corrupt, wrong size to avoid problems, or missing. I've sent some files to friends that needed them because of the patcher being slow on larger files. On your PC you hold all information.

Server-Side holds characters, mobs, npcs, quests, missions, etc. Please learn a thing or two before saying things like that. :?
