somehow in my old PC (Compaq Presario CQ40) it took 1 1/2 hour but in my new ASUS it is taking more than 12 hours (already 14 hours and half downloaded)

Why it happens?

[Tinythumb]

Yes depends on your download speed. Your Mbps or Kbs. And the type of computer parts varies between computers. CPU/hard drive/Network.

I got a 60mbps download so i got this game in like 5 mins or so lol.

Welcome to the game

Desktop here took about 15 minutes, laptop took about 3 hours using wifi, probably would have been quicker if wired in directly.

If it's taking anything longer than ten bananas, then you have a crappy connection dude.

mine is on hour 12 right now

Like everyone said ... depends on your connection and hardware. I have a 2 year old HP comp with a core 2 duo, on wifi. I had the game installed (dont remember how much time it took to download) but upgraded to Windows 7 so when I downloaded the second time, after 7.4, it took me about 25 mins. I have a 15Mbps connection with Rogers here in Ontario, Canada.

My average download speed was about 1.8Mbps.

The download is a Utorrent file so be prepared to sit for a long time..

I never understood the mentality of this company, why not just offer the download file like all other websites?

[doggywarning]

Wow! mine took 3hrs

[_optimusprime_]

The 7.4 client is 2.9GB.

I would recommend bit torrent to download.  Faster than the direct download option.

I just started it today At 8:59 Am And it 12:40 Pm right now Still Not Done Only 40% done
Last time it was on 43 % i stopped the download and i had to restart it :P

I'd try turning off torrents in the launcher menu settings.

My isp s anti torrent, and turning off torrents was the only way to download in under 17hrs. The standalonen only takes me 45mins by direct downloading.

Holy thread necro, I remember this one from around release....

Tip for the day...

Don't let the client update itself. Instead, download the patch from the main site and let it install. At lunch, I was letting the game patch itself and it was taking forever. I stopped it and downloaded the patch instead from the main site. Took 10 minutes tops from start to finish. Didn't get a chance to play the game since I wasted time with the auto update and I had to go back to work.

[sampak]

Auto patching works fine. Sometimes it might be screwy, but most of the time, it's fine. If it first fails, then sure go to the website. Just a matter of individual results.

3 hours on wifi, and forever on mobile internet. I play using 3G mobile internet but download big stuff using my office cable.

What? Why? Privacy?

[Patonb]

Probably because it's against office policy to game at work... Or because he's suppose to be working at work..

LOL. I am not ashamed to admit, on a slow day when I literally have no immediate project/test to run, I load up a few matches on the i5 INTEL HD 3000 powerhouse of a laptop on the company LAN. It is basically as fast as twice the speed of my fantasy home internet connection (probably not) and ping is usually stable around 30-60, with rare 300-999 rolling spikes. Friendly firewall is friendly.

Took me about 11 and a half minutes on a 30mbps connection
