Ridiculously Slow Patcher

So I've tried restarting and checking my internet connection and nothing can ameliorate the ridiculously slow speed at which the patcher is downloading. It's at 112 kb/s now but was previously at 50 kb/s and I'm on a cable connection. Nothing else, despite its size should take 913 minutes!!! WTF. Darkfall is like 9 gb and it took one hour to download. Any solutions?

Hey Wiz,
All you need to do is the following:
Go to here:
%windir%System32driversetc
Once there locate the hosts file and double click on it.
Next choose to open within Notepad and once it's open take the following information below and copy and paste it at the bottom of the content listed there.
# 64.7.222.130 rtworlds.http.internapcdn.net
# 64.74.124.65 rtworlds.http.internapcdn.net
# 64.94.126.65 rtworlds.http.internapcdn.net
# 66.151.250.65 rtworlds.http.internapcdn.net
# 69.88.148.130 rtworlds.http.internapcdn.net
# 69.88.152.250 rtworlds.http.internapcdn.net
# 74.201.26.2 rtworlds.http.internapcdn.net
# 75.98.38.78 rtworlds.http.internapcdn.net
# 77.242.194.130 rtworlds.http.internapcdn.net
Now once you've pasted the content into the file then UNCOMMENT one of the lines by removing the # sign. Then save the file.
Note: do not uncomment more than 1 at a time as it will confuse your system. Once you uncomment simply relaunch the launcher and see if the download speeds increase. If they don't then go back to the file and recomment the one you uncommented. Then uncomment a different one. Just rise and repeat and you should find one that gives you the most out of your speed.

Thanks so much! I'll edit my main post with a link to : http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1306405 so people can read the fix!!
Gahh it's still going to take like 6 hours, but it's better than 10+ hours before. This is such an inefficient way to distribute a client. A torrent would be better.
went from 96kb to 1.4mb/s
