The rest of us downloaded earlier in the week to beat the rush. You're probably contending with hundreds of other people downloading at the exact same time.
I'm getting those ridiculous speeds too. I kind of regret not pre-ordering Aion through Steam, at least Steam is somewhat reliable when it comes to downloading large files. I've tried alternatives, such as Fileplanet, but I keep having trouble with corrupted files when extracting, more specifically the largest file (Data2.cab) which is the entire game. I'm re-downloading the game off of a different server from Fileplanet, this will be the 4th attempt. It's going to be very upsetting if I can't access the game before the 17th.
Gotta love how people complain that it is NC's fault that they have crappy internet or didn't want to beat the rush and got the client at the last second.
If it's not your internet there is a little think called. BANDWIDTH. If everyone is taking a piece of a pie... it's eventually gonna be all gone isn't it?
This is the closed beta correct ? The only way to get a key is to pre order ?
Hopefully they will have an open beta befor launch that way people could try out the game befor they buy. That could also cause the the problem of 3,000,000,001 people trying to download the beta client since it would then be free. But alas it would still be nice to try out the game, even though I am almost 100% sure it will be awesome and that I am going to pick it up as soon as it launches on 09/22/09 in NA.

Are you serious? Way to bring fanboyism to another level.
Nobody has crappy internet. The problem is NCSoft chose to use weak servers. If guests at a restaurant are receiving slow service because theres only 3 waiters for 20 tables its not the customer's fault. They are simply being cheap.

I totally agree with you on that one Netzoko its completely ridiculous. I am just going to assume you have a 5mb connection and you should at least be getting anywhere from 300-650 kb/s. Whatever the case it looks like NCsoft Seriously needs to get more servers and more bandwidth accordingly. :-(
There are links for direct download skipping the launcher hassle if it's slow for you, you should have checked betaboards customer support before opening a thread here.

Late or not shifting between 65 and 100 kb/s is unacceptable.

I am very envious of your 100kbs
I spent 3 days downloading at speeds below 20kbs before my download completed itself with a sudden boost of speed in the middle of the night.
I am glad I downloaded the game in advance.
