    Is it me, or this a huge download - it's taking hours to update this release.

    I run 2 clients to dual box. Steam and the SOTA launcher.

    Just like R34:

    Steam: 5 minutes installed and logged in
    SOTA client: 4 hours installed, 30 more minutes for patch and logged in playing.

    I thought my launcher was stuck patching the NPCs.Unity3d file it was taking so long but it did finally update. The Steam client is so much faster than the regular client, plus I'm always having issues with the regular client launcher (beside it being horribly slow). :(

    Most likely Steam is faster because they have copies of the files on their own servers much, much, much closer to the Internet backbone with way wider bandwidth than little ol' Port in their Austin office.
