I have a low bandwidth connection at home, broadband at work.
At home i can play all fine, but downloading this 800MB patch will be a royal pain.

Any chance to download it at work and take it with me home?
If not I will have to download the whole offline installer thing again and re-install at home to be able to play without waiting the whole night, literally...

For World of tanks the launcher keeps the downloaded files in a directory , so I can just copy them and paste at home. Eve launcher seems to clean up after installing a patch, so I missed the opportunity there.

Any ideas?

You can import/export patches in the launcher. Open up the settings and have a look.

Thx a bunch for the hint, found it in the settings
But its only possible if you had not checked the box "delete after patch has been applied".
So I am screwed there.

But I can use that for future patches.

Extract and copy the .patch into your main CCP program folder.
They don't have any dedicated directory structure for patch downloads (ala WoT), preferring instead to dump everything into the root CCP folder.

Run launcher and it should auto-detect the file. If that fails, there's also an option in the Setting (gear icon) to import a .patch file.

P.S File name may change if CCP updates again today to fix some bugs.
