36k/s wtf? Why so slow?

So far at 20 hours of download time. Why is it so slow? I have broadband, and I've never had trouble downloading things before. Is there somewhere else I could get the update that isn't going to take 20 hours?

36K/s sec, u lucky bugger, i am getting 3.6K/s, trials going to be over before it even completes
I had 50 Kb/s 8 months ago, it have always been slow, the problem is not on your end.
Try this torrent, might give you faster speed, might not.

Rule of thumb with timed free trials:
Download first, activate once the download is finished. I had to deal with that when I trialed LOTRO, I got to use 7 days of my free 10 day trial
I downloaded it over the weekend and pulled a solid 350 kbps, and was able to download it in about 3 hours.
Downloaded the torrent in 5 hours no prob, now the updater is trying to apply the latest patch, and does nothing.
PlayNC says it;s my connection, speedtest's say different
just an update, i trolled thru the COH forums and found reference to adding the -port 13094 switch to the updater short cut. no i dowvload at 40K/sec and peak at 80K/sec.
support had me bascially deleteing every program off my pc
Slow connection is slow... I get a download speed of about 300 kb/s using micro torrent, you might want to enable certain ports on your router if you have one. Also make sure your BT client has proper settings and you aren't using ports within the 1-6000 range.
Time now to find out why flash is slower than java! Strange how Texas is slower, considering it had no traffic and I live on the east coast.
When I downloaded the trial I got it pretty fast, it was 2 or 3 months ago but I remember it was fast.
