I remember someone was kind enough to host the update files from the September Update. Host/torrent whoever completes first would be much appreciated. I don't understand why S-E don't torrent these things; so many ppl nowadays are in high-speed.

If someone makes a zip, I can host two mirrors on two seperate dedi servers. PM me.
What update? There is an update today? Could have fooled me
1677 file update, will post a link as soon as I can get it uploaded somewhere.
Roughly 30 minutes remaining on my download time, currently.
can you get the files eariler also by using the file checker function ?
Yes, you are able to get the files earlier using the File Check function. You have to basically edit file.txt in a way (or change a file) so it finds a corrupt file, and downloads the update to fix it.
Whats the simplist way to do that? Just remove a dat?
The way I do it is open up file.txt and edit it as follows:
In the first two lines of the file, I rename FTABLE.DAT to VTABLE.BAT and VTABLE.DAT to FTABLE.DAT, then delete the remainder of the file, BUT, you have to leave the last line of the file intact. (The :: at the end of the file.) That way, File Check only checks two files and you can start File Repair almost immediately.
If you are not comfortable editing this file, make a backup before you do it.
Check Version is up now, so you can update normally if you want. I'm uploading the patched files to Megaupload now and will post the link when it finishes.
To be honest - this one's not downloading badly unlike the last one where I had to use the zip file someone hosted. Got 3 PCs almost fully done already.
Upload complete:

File size is about 150MB. Feel free to mirror.
Just take the contents and put them in your FINAL FANTASY XI folder.
E.G.: C:\Program Files\PlayOnline\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI
My update's done, if someone fills me in on how to isolate the files I downloaded, I can zip & host 'em
Edit: nvm lol
Is my line that sux or is normal that i'm downloading it at 6-10kb/s? :/
I went at 150kb/s
and thanks Koolayde, works perfectly
OH YEAHHHH
Ive never tried it this way before, just wondering if someone could post a basic idiot proof guide to installing this? just confused whether or not i unzip it into the FFXI folder, just drag n drop?...
any help much apreciated. Ty
cheers buddy, worked a treat.
Much thanks Koolayde!
Thanks Koolayde^^
I love you.
*edit* I still love you but I'm doing it wrong. When I extract it quits halfway through with no errors... try to play and I have 1180 files to download ... probably has something to do with my replacing the <call1-5> .dats ... orz
