I'm not blaming the game, i'm blaming gamespot. Gamespot gave me a beta key and then would not allow me to download the client. Their failure has nothing to do with Funcom. My problems are not with this game or Funcom, I am actually enjoying the beta thanks to a third party site. I just hope future developers observe how inept gamespot is at handling an event such as this one.

And that is a very fair point. It was the OP who states he was getting frustrated at the game before playing. But expecting a pirated version to work rather than the gamespot one is not the games fault. Its gamespots and not Funcoms. Then factor in 80% of people who went the GS route and everything was ok after a couple of tweaks.
Its funny, your on a 1 mb conn and complaining about slow speeds.
The torrent is your best bet, but since your connection is so slow your going to struggle there too.
I run on a 15 meg fiber line, was uploading around 400k and downloading close to 1700k on the torrent. My 4 guildmates were also able to get off the torrent fairly easily.
The issue your having is your upload speed is horrible with DSL,and thus your getting a slow DL. Again this is Gamespots event, and gamespots issue. Downloading a 7gig client on 1mb con is going to be a royal pain in the ass regardless. You refused to use the primary download, and your complaining about the secondary.
Simply wait till it comes on DvD and it wont be an issue, but you need to understand the technology. Bit torrent requires upload for download... and DSL is horrible for that. If YOUR to stubborn to use the download gamespot provided then its you and your pride. You may not like that you have to dl their software... well you dont... you also dont have to play.
Upgrade to better broadband, use the stuff provided, follow the work arounds, or shut the hell up.
Why are you people bashing the OP. You have know idea what setup they have. There were probably thousands of people out of the 15k and additional 5k that got invited that had problems downloading the game and never will get in. I have a 15mb download from cox on the east coast and I never got the downloads because of ridiculous slow download speeds and Gamespot downloader errors. I never exceeded 120kb down and that didnt last long, then avg. around 25 kb to 80kb down. At that rate it would take days to get the download.
I did manage to get part 3 and 4 through a poster recommending the free download program on the gamespot beta forums. Part 1 and 2 timed out at 67% and 61% and never started again. Alot of people got in and enjoyed it Im sure. However, I do not see alot of different beta testers talking about or showing tons of pics or video considering 20k people were invited.
My cousin is a regular beta tester and has not been able to get his downloads from that beta to work properly to this day. So, he gave up just like I gave up on the pvp beta weekend. It was poorly executed by Funcom and Gamespot together, period.
Thanks for the link. There are some nice looking female and male avatars. The armor and clothing looks really good too. Congratz to the artists.
I'm looking forward to getting into the game at some point. Maybe it will be after launch. But I imagine I will be spending a lot of time in character creation playing around with the settings.

I have a great cable connection and I am only at about 30% since this morning. I guess a lot of people are trying to download the same thing.
It's disappointing, but oh well. If someone could please, please post some pics of the female avatars that would be really nice.
