Hi,

Is there a way to pause and resume the 1.5GB download for today?

I cannot download it in one session due to internet quota limitations; and the launcher does not support pause and resume. If i close the launcher mid-download and open it up again after one hour it restarts the download...

is there a direct link for the patch I can put in my download manager or something?

Many Thanks
Elena Ranning

I'm sorry for bumping this again but I have to start the download sooner or later.

Is there a way to pause and resume the 1.5GB download from within the client? without making it restart from zero every time it is interrupted?

Same here, I need a manual patch.
EDIT
Repair.exe apparently checks if every file is compliant and also patches the game if not :)
Not "resumable" but at least is a manual and more direct way to patch (and faster, I'm getting 4MB/s)

Launcher failing? Really? No way! Never happened before.

Download goes ok, although it is slow. Then when applying the patch, the launcher just hangs up. Nothing to do except to close it. And then when restarted, the dumb thing downloads the whole patch again... and hangs up when applying it, a second time. At a different % of completed.

So what to do? Run the equally broken repair tool, which never works either?

Historically, the only thing that ever works when yet another fail expansion breaks the launcher is to re-install the game from scratch. I guess that's the only option here?

Yeah.. pretty dumb decision to remove manual patching since CCP tool are easily broken and lack basic download functions (like resume doh).
Repair tool worked for me being behind a firewall :)
