Seriously though... dude... making a whine thread about it taking so long is only going to earn you one thing: Unnconditional love from the smartasses in the beta group and allot of snobish laughs from the rest. If you truly wanted to you could find a way to get better internets but it would likely be just quicker and simpler to just download the damn game at your current speed.

Yes. I learn here how humans really are. And I intend to pay it back in full.
I realized that sympathy is an illusion. You get as much as you are able to take by force... I guess those who always preached that were right....

And to think the government of South Korea is planing to have every household have at least 1GBs internet speed by years end.

i dont have that issue is all . im sorry u are but i dont know where u live. I know australia has download limits and once u reach them your internet slows to a crawl so bad a freind of mind couldnt play wow once he hit his limit.
I dont think this is a problem for many though and if u were using it to blast bioware and ea then its not ther fault your internet sucks.

Hey buddy its not that bad. Relax, how new are you to this site. Like i said earlier you helped me out and i am thankfull.
I did a quick google search and there appears to be plenty of ISP providers in Germany, maybe not in your area though. If that is the case, I suggest moving for your net

Thats not the problem.
The cables are all owned by the German Telekom. Those different providers all have to loan the cables, and the Telekom does not set the connection higher, so it doesn't make a difference if I chance the provider. I could only install satilite, and that is way beyond what I can afford.

And here in the US people actually want us to become more like Europe with net neutrality where the goverment gets to control the flow of internet traffic. I cringe at the thought of this.
I have DSL 2000, an acutal download rate of currently 120 kb/s. Due to the download calculator I used, this 16 GB download takes 296 hours time. 12 days.
Well it took longer than I had liked but I got done today. Wasn't sure about the date, but now I kind of wished I had waited. 20gigs just sittin' there.
I used to play MMOs like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee.
I am thinking that some people need to get with the times and upgrade their ISP. MMO's are not going decrease in size and memory usage anytime soon as technology advances.
Type 14 GB, 128 kbs = 10 Days 20 Hours 58 Minutes 44.1 Seconds
And I DON'T blame Bioware! Well, maybe a bit for not allowing the download earlier. AS I SAID THEY SHOULD, because not everyone lives in Internet Wonderland!
If you read its off and they tell you why.
So 120 x 60 = 720
720 x 60 = 432 000
432 000 / 1000 = 432
432 / 1000 = 0.432 which I round to 0.4
16 / 0.4 = 40
40 hours to download.
I r good at mathz.
120x60 = 7200
Doh. Should proofread more carefully. Edited original post. Still should be under 40 hour download.
Well Elikals Calculation might be correct depends on if he is measuring the speed in kb or KB. Netspeed is often measures in kilobits per second or megabits per second. Which means you would have to multiply your figures by 8
I blame this on Bioware. Why they didn't account for people who would be using the internet version of two tin cans connected by a string is beyond me. For shame, Bioware. For shame.
Best post ever. I am in India right now on business trip. Even i managed to download SWTOR on my laptop in18 hrs so that i do not miss the beta weekend.

Welcome not to beta.
Your move.
Maybe someone around your way would be kind enough to burn you a dvd and mail it to you?
I am downloading the game right now at 1.5m/s so anyone in the states who Qqing about the slow download speed then time to consider getting urself another IPS provider
Germany MUST have cable and it can't really cost much more than a shitty DSL connection, I have a connection about the same as that whem I was living in Thailand from the state communications monopoly. This is the 21st century and you're living in the the third most affluent country in the world and that picture of your chancellor dressed in an SS uniform done in Greece made me horny! I use Virgin cable in the UK it says a 50mb/s download speed but when I test it it's only 23 mb/s with 3.8 mb/s upload.
Just incase you thought I was trolling concerning the beautiful Chancellor Merekel CLICK any man that wouldn't want her punishing him all night long needs to see a therapist for gender reassignment in my opinion!
FACT!
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience"
I find it singularly impossible to believe that you can't get internet with better than 120kb/s speed, while Telekom Online's site offers in its very first page 50Mbit/s and flat-rate 16Mbit/s.
Internet-Flatrate zum Highspeed-Surfen mit bis zu 16 Mbit/s
It is amazing really that someone living in germany can not find a decent internet connection. I for one wish that i was in living in Europe, they have some of the best internet providers and speeds.
your friend that was in testing and let you play - is he still in testing? Cause if he is, and he has the latest client, you could always bring an external HD over to his place and copy the game folder across.
Would be a lot faster...
As others have said, you should be ok anyway, yes it will take time, but I seriously doubt you'll still be downloading come Friday.

In mother Russia MMO download you!

i downloaded this game 24 hours ago and was done in 3-4 hours.

Nice trolling, i already downloaded it on 2 pc's with my shitty Polish provider Neostrada. And btw, blame your provider, not the game.
I have no idea how long it took to dl. I put it on when I went to bed last night and it was done when I got up this morning
Eli,
your friend that was in testing and let you play - is he still in testing? Cause if he is, and he has the latest client, you could always bring an external HD over to his place and copy the game folder across.
Would be a lot faster...

I actually downloaded it in 3 hours :O
But its because i have 15Gbit , wich usually never gives full performance.
But it did in this case ?!
They must have enabled some mega bandwith server
downloaded in 3 hours also , but cannot play beta, cannot click play, is the beta up/maintenance/ or something?
~The only opinion that matters is your own.Everything else is just advice,~
not till least friday the 25th. it's downloadable now so players can try download it on time for beta
