    Anyone still having issues DL'ing update? :(

    i've seen the 'follow up 2' congestion message, and i just wanted to get an idea of how many ppl are still having this problem (((

    -freezing during DL
    -not starting DL
    -POL error that disconnects you while checking files, or at the very beginning of the DL process (i've gotten a few files so far, 2k+ left~ i get maybe 1-3 files every hour when im lucky enough not to D/C during the file checking process ((( )

    been trying to get the update since last night this is lame ((

    people told me to stop DL'ing using windower, and i tried that before they asked (last night) and still very little headway

    i tried not doing anything on my laptop (my laptop and my PC [has ffxi] share a router), figuring that laptop activity might slow down DL rate, but no success

    i tried resetting my router, no success

    i tried restarting my PC, no success

    i dont know what to try anymore so i made a thread and thought i might have company to make me feel better (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

    Still happening to me. I restarted download before going to sleep last night then again before leaving for work. I can only pray it completed when I get home but I doubt it.

    Well, after mine failed last night, I started the update again before leaving my house, I hope it finished.

    I'm sorry though Niro, I hope it works for you soon. >.<

    This update has been all kinds of fuck-up for me so far. Yesterday it was going well around 8 EST, then all of a sudden it quit so I cancelled, backed out of POL. Then when I tried re-starting POL up, no window would come up at all but the tab would appear in my task bar. Could hear the music, just no visual. Tried resetting computer, nothing. So I figured I would have to just re-install. Re-installed this morning when I woke up and I still have 2780 files left and just under seven hours left.

    I got the update which is strange since I'm in china.

    There have been times when I can't even get the small pol viewer updates when here but I was able to get this update easily.

    oh you don't need to reinstall your pol because of that. It happened to me many times. Your pol viewer is just minimized to somewhere on your desktop that you cannot drag onto. Just head over to your task manager right click the running pol application and select maximized. You then can resize your pol window from there.

    Back on topic it took me like 24hrs to get my updates to be done. In between at least 5 disconnection from servers.

    Same, my connection was being a bitch, so i got online about 2hrs before maintenance end, start downloading, 7 hours remaining. Must've DC'd 5 times this night, but when I woke up, logged on and got another '7 hours remaining', it finally kept going till the end. Thank god, was a bitch getting this update installed. ._.

    God, now I feel really stupid. Thanks, I'll keep that in mind for the future.

    Well, been going at it over 15 hours with tons of d/c. This being with a moderate connection speed-- 123 files left still, lol. It's best to just wing it as much as possible, I assume tons of people are still downloading.

    I don't know if this will be of any use, but while I left my full bandwidth to be used by POL I had a slower download rate than with firefox running in the background. Also, try resetting your router, my DL picked up after resetting. It was odd, but my DL rate went up while using BitTorrent to jack some music. So out of jest, try it with windows open in the background. Otherwise you have to grin and bear it =/.

    update (no pun intended )

    come back from a long afk to see that i had been d/c'ed again, then gave it another go after seeing that congestion follow up #4 :/ and d/c again ((

    so i unplug my router, wait like 2-3 mins, plug it in, and try again

    1:57:36

    i encourage anyone who is still having problems to try what i did, i've been downloading files for maybe 15mins and i feel really good about this one :D

    good luck to anyone still left with stupid error screens!

    I think whatever server/congestion issues they were having have been resolved - I have been updating a fresh install since yesterday. It took ~20 hours to do the first 50%, and has since done the next 25% in 2hrs or so.

    That's what it was like for me earlier today. I would just keep updating then I'd get the Network error and just start over. At about 6EST though It started up and then just finished out of the blue. I guess it's a matter of luck and hoping not many people are updating at the time.
