I just got in the Everquest 2 beta this morning via the Fileplanet contest. I started downloading the game client about an hour ago or so and it is progressing at such a languid pace that I feel like I am back on my 2400 baud modem. In addition I am plagued with constant program errors while downloading..
Anyone else having these issues?

People said that many DSL users can take anywhere from 3 to 10 hours while dial up can take up to 30.
Cable users will typically wait anywhere from 2.5 to 3 hours.
My total download time was around 3 hours.

Ive got Roadrunner as well.
Have to admit, being owned by Time Warner (AOL), it sure is the fastest cable I have ever owned

If you have an extra key and wish to be relieved of such a responsibility, please email me. I would like to beta test the game so I could report back to our members and guild. Thank you.

THIS IS MY SIGNATURE, THERE ARE MANY LIKE IT BUT THIS ONE IS MINE. MY SIGNATURE IS MY BEST FRIEND. IT IS MY LIFE. I MUST MASTER IT AS I MASTER MY LIFE. WITHOUT ME IT IS USELESS, WITHOUT MY SIGNATURE I AM USELESS.
I could run the packets back and forth from the servers to my pc faster than this damn download.

That's an ISP issue. Not a sony issue.
Everyone I know on RoadRunner..it took them 3 hours.
You may want to call your ISP for better service

I'm sorry but i've talked to a host of players (on high speed cable/dsl connection) who have been downloading for 6+ hours and still have not finished.
I doubt its an issue on the host side.
Maybe it is, but I find it odd that many people I know have had the following results:
1. Roadrunner Cable: 2.5 to 3 hours
2. Adelphia Cable: 3 to 6 hours
3. Cox cable: 2.5 to 4 hours
4. DSL (depending on you upload/download package): 3 hours to 6 hours
4. Netzero Dialup: 10-12 hours
5. AOL DIalup: 10-15 hours
At least that's what people have been saying on the beta boards have been saying.
I've got roadrunner and I downloaded it under 3 hours. Other people with roadrunner has had similiar results.
..this is the first that I heard of it taking 8 days. Interesting

Anyone know what the total size of all the files comes out to be?
hmm..I think it was a little over 4 gigs
but that;s just a guess

Good god I hope not. This is going so slow for me. I have Cox High Speed and in about 2 hours i've only downloaded about 500 megs.
What he said En1gma... news?
Don't want to start another flame war, but my experience with RR was terrible. Had it for like 1 year and it was great, than started playing SWG and left my char. minning over night. After a week my RR stoped working, I called service and first they told me they will send somebody to fix it, then they told me it is on their end and there is no need to sent a tech. I called them every 2-3 days for next 2 weeks and finally I asked support person "Do you have any idea when it will be fixed?" and he said "I wish I can tell you in next half an hour but have no idea." I waited another 2 weeks, cancelled my account and went back to Verizon DSL I had before
I believe it had something to do with my net traffic, as my brother has Optimum online and got a call from tech saying that they have problem with his upload ammount (he was running P2P but nothing major) and that according to TOS they will cancel his account if he doesn't decrease his upload traffic.
didn't mean 8 days sorry
Meant November 9th. For some reason I thought it was November 1st. Lol, having a month vacation can do that to ya
