If this is a problem for many people i would think that Funcom will offer a torrent download too. But it's still 5 days left.
I downloaded mine yesterday in 5-600 Kb/s, so your speed should get better when less people is downloading.
It is a torrent download.

Several things you could try:
1. Disable any firewalls just for the download.
2. Open up the ports as instructed here.
3. Close and restart the downloader, this has worked for some people.
4. Make sure your ISP isn't one like mine that limits p2p traffic during peek times, in which case, you can't really do anything about.
Cheerio
if you are using the age of conan downloader it is bit torrent technology so more people using it effectively increases it's speed. However you can only be connected to 50 people at once which kind of nerfs the download speed, especially if the peers you are connected to aren't relatively local.
Ok, my fault, it is already a torrent=)
And I also tested the US downloader now, and I downloaded in 150-200 KB/s, and i live in EU, so try restarting it.
1. Minimize the downloader so it goes into your system tray.
2. Right click the icon to access the options.
3. Make sure download is set to unlimited and set upload to 25k.
4. Leave peers number alone.
5. Pause the downloader and simply restart it again.
These steps make your DL speed go from about 100-200k to 900-1200k in a matter of seconds.
If this does not help you are most likely the victim of a $hitty ISP.
I play a lot of games...
I've tried everything I can and I still can't get over 40 kb/se. It starts off high then free falls to around 20-30.
When I am downloading, even at the lowest upload setting, my internet browsing goes to a crawl. I'm not on dialup, and I think the max dl with my provider is 175 kb/sec, which is what i was getting with the open beta download.
minimize Downloader
right click on image in taskbar
reduce UL speed so it's a bit under your UL speed maximum
reduce # of peers
maximize Downloader
click PAUSE
click PLAY
..... wait 15 mins ... if speed isn't about 100 KB/sec, repeat the PAUSE PLAY part till you get some peers with decent UL speed.
comcast? firewall?
im doing ok at about 600KB/ps
chips, dips chains & whips.
i am using comcast and behind a firewall
I play a lot of games...
My upload speed is less than the minimum according to the speed test site....

As soon as I did this my d/l dropped to 2k from 140k...Changed it back to the default way n went back upto 130k
lowering your upload should not have an instant affect on your download. besides, lowering upload slows the sharing process down for us all.
ehh, idk
chips, dips chains & whips.
Also, have a look at this site, it tests whether your isp is throttling your connection or not. Not sure how accurate it is though.

it dropped from 2k from 140k? so you were downloading it as 140k and then it went to 2k? just 2k? 2k lol is very small something might have went wrong...and if your still at 140 that is very slow i would mess around with the settings..
I play a lot of games...
I'd take even the 2kps if they would take me off pending and approve the darned transaction.
I tried to limit the upload , but it didn't help . No matter how you mess with the client downloader it starts at 140-150 kb/s then after 30sec-1 min it goes down to 30kb/s-40 kb/s
What the heck should I do ?
how big is the file?
about 13.4 gb's.

Quick question. If I was in OB do I still need to download the client again before the 17th or am I already gtg?
u have to download it again
nnnnnngh I was hoping u wouldn't say that heh. Still Patiently waiting on my email then I guess
I'm more than a little disappointed with the download speed. Paying 5$for the early access was fine with me but I didn't expect it to take days to download the client

My download has been running for about 24 hours and it's just under half done... this is with cable modem.
I hit the pause button, then hit resume... download increased to around 120kbs. That's not as good as I'd like, but loads better than it was.
