I have 3 computers. 1 is up to date and 2 others that are pre retributition but not the same client version. I have all of the incramintal patches to get the clients from ware thay are to ware thay need to be to be in a playable state on my main laptop. I have tryed to transfer all the patches and then start the launcher. After a bit it starts a 1.5g download. a 3g download will take forever on my whimpy 256k internet connection. Is there a way to manualy force the indavidual patch files I have to patch the client evan if the resulting patched client will not be current? If I can the clients past the 1.6g retributition patch I can use the launcher for the remaining 75m download easy enough. Any chance of me getting the clients up to snuff with out soaking up all my bandwith for several days?

As far as I know you would need exactly the patch from the current client version to the TQ version to be able to use a copied patch file.
Assuming these 3 computers are on the same network it is probably easiest to copy the full client to your other two computers.

So if I just copy the whole CCP folder from the computer with the properly updated client to the computers that are lacking a proper client it should work properly?
