    It was at 60kb for awhile, maybe a few minutes. Now it's been consistently 700kb for around an hour (I think it's been an hour).

    I didn't get these speeds when updating other releases or updating the QA. I've tested my speed elsewhere and getting 4-5MB per second.

    In fact the QA is STILL offering downloads a 4-5MB per second (just updated), guess they're separate resources.

    Yep, I averaged about 100 kb/s when using the SOTA Launcher for patching. It took all day to download V311 (gladly I have another machine that updates via Steam, so I didn't really care).

    They were having similar issues last release as well though, probably bandwidth issues on their end, due to everyone pulling down the patches at the same time.

    Over 5 hours for me so far. 81% right now. 60-100 KB/s.

    Thanks for posting that. I was actually performing the download over again so I could get a screenshot of that screen.

    Yes, I encountered the exact same error when updating, and it corrupted my installation when it did so. :p

    (Now I can stop this idiotic download, and simply copy the Steam download over to that machine)

    Yes, and then it restarts from ground Zero because you lose everything in a failed patch or crashing during patching. Oddly enough, starting from 0->311 is getting me 3.5MB now, and it's uploading a little which it wasn't doing before. I wonder if the previous attempt wasn't using P2P for some reason and that makes the difference?

    I do wish you the best of luck getting it downloaded and patched properly.

    What a pain this time around. :p

    When it's downloading slow I stop it and start it again. Goes back to where you left off and every release this has worked for me in getting way better download speeds.
