Mine is slow, started at 2 days with download speed of about 90 kbs. I don't think this is to do with the download client but more to do with my internet speed (trying to switch to Virgin but they have got rubbish customer service)
When did you start?
I started 8 AM this morning and it was saying a bit over 4 days. Its now just after 4PM, 70% complete with 6 hours left.
im usually always at 250-350k, when i started to get to 98-100% then it was like 50k
I got mine from an Aussie mirrror site at over 250 kbs per part. It was six parts and I got three at a time. Took me over night.
It would be a safe bet to guess that there are a lot of people downloading the client. Since there is a finite amount of bandwidth available, it will go slow.
Its happend to me twice since i started dling, i just hast to pause the dler and then continue it will dl at max speed.
Also u may want to try this, open a port for it or make it dl from a port of ur choice ( it dl's from randome ports every time it starts ) on windows start -> run -> type cmd and run -> navigate to where ur AoC-US-EarlyAccess.exe is then type AoC-US-EarlyAccess.exe /port xxxx ( where x's are the port number of ur choice )
Note: to navigete on the cmd window u'll need "cd.." to go back a directory, "cd" to go forward and if u need to verify ur file "dir" to see files and directories on the current path u are.
its a huge download
Mine said 2 days or something. I went to sleep and when I woke up 6 hrs later it was downloaded. Don't worry you'll be fine.
i got the client downladed and installed but it wont patch tried all day todayanyone else not able to update
yeah i started downloading on the 13th when i got the email also, i've been getting approx 50-60k download rate and i was at 34-35% when i woke up this morning also. if i calculated the amount of time it'll take correctly it should be finished downloading around midday friday. i wouldn't pay attention to what the downloader says in regards to how long it'll take to download, it doesn't seem to be accurate, several times it'd say it'll take 3-4 weeks, even though my download rate hadn't changed.
Some idiots among the AoC community decided to spread the download link. People who did not apply for Early Access then started downloading it, causing a lot of bandwidth to be taken from the rightful buyers. Also the $5 is for 10days play time and was suppose to stop all the people who did not pre-order/EA to not take bandwidth... but always someone has to ruin it.
