Launcher download % stuck?

So I bought ESO today in the box version, so the game installed with all 4 of the disks, and it's been downloading the launcher for like 2 hours now and It's on +- 3GB/12GB. Now it still shows that it is on 1%, it was for like an hour on 0% and it's another hour on 1% now. Does this mean that the % is just stuck or after those 12GB's, it's going to download even more? Please tell me it's the first, please.. o.o

    Their launcher counts disk operations as part of the reported %. You'll get a period of slow incremental % progress while it's downloading, followed by a period of very fast progress when it's just patching files. It also does it in chunks with the DL/Patch cycle repeating itself many times.

    So, how many GB's in download is it in total? I downloaded like 6250MB yet of the 12900MB in total it says. Will there come something after this? And my download speed is like 350/375KB/s. How long will it approx take do you think? Well priority question is how many GB is the download? :D

    Some time ago ESO needed double the space to install ie 60gb for 30gb install (which was complete crap imo). Just in case check if you have enough space if you are installing it on SSD or something.

    It sounds like it could be a similar thing to what I have come across with other mmos such as TSW . I had to turn off the antivirus and firewall for the download to complete .

    The expanded folder is ~ 36 GB but a full DL is smaller than that. Around 25 GB I think. You're patching though so it'll be less than that. How much less, IDK.

    I found pausing and unpausing helped to kick start it up again
