<p>Hiya, I recently am returning to EQ2 and haven't played in a very long time.  However, I got something in the mail that is letting me come back and get the first three expansions and adventure packs for free....it also allows me to play for free until mid September.  GREAT!</p><p> However, my problem is downloading all of this.  Currently the download client shows the download time at 138:58:20.....that is days and days of downloading.  My question is, is there anywhere else I could download these files from or get them more quickly (aside from buying the games)??</p><p> I appreciate any help!  Thanks!</p>

the patcher uses the same estimator that windows does... it *SHOULDNT* actually take that long.

<p>If it seems to have an absurd number and it doesn't seem to be going down, try stopping the downloader and starting it up again.</p><p>I've not personally had any issues with downloading however that seems to help some people.</p>

I've had this happen to me. It seem that one or 2 of the download server are very very slow, while some of the other are pretty fast. I would check what your download speed is. If your getting a very slow speed then stop downloading and patch again and you'll be changed to another download server. Which may be faster than the one your on.

This might save you some time as well.</p><p>Hope that helps.</p>
