ARGH i can't get on

[Cerber]

<p>Hey everyone, due to inforseen circumstances i haven't been on in about a month and a half however when i went on launch pad yesterday and i started to download the many updates i knew i would have to download. the launch pad seemed to get stuck on the "prophetday.mp3" file and the estimated time went up to about 50 hours. I turned my pc of and thought it was a glitch but i came on today and found teh same problem. I;ve had my pc on since about 1 oclock this afternoon (GMT) and yet it still says 50 hours left and it syas it is still on the said download. </p><p>Has anyone else had this problem and if so does anyone know how to solve it because i really want to get back onto EQ2 as i deleted my characters and started new and am only level 13 <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>Thanks</p>

hmmm... do you have a firewall up that doesnt like it when you download large files?

<p>hmmm nope. I use panda 2008 at the moment and that has never given me a single problem playing on either SWG or EQ2. I'll go check if it on the ban list as i haven t played EQ2 since i updated panda to 2008</p><p>nope inbound and outbound traffic = should allow it, i will file a ticket about this and will leave my computer on tonight and will see if that solves teh problem but please continue posting here!!</p><p>Thanks</p>

<p>Cancel the download, and try again - if that doesn't work, then repeat a few times and it *should* get it working.  At least that is one thing I remember seeing recently as being an issue, and cancelling/restarting was the suggestion for the stuck DL issue.  Also, if you have upgraded to Vista since the last time you played, their may be an issue there, but I don't know the fix(es) for that.</p>

nope i m still on windows xp, the only thing that has been altered recently is like i say about 3 weeks ago i upgraded from panda 2007 to panda 2008. Friday was the first day i played EQ2 with panda 2008 but i don't think it is Panda that is stopping it. I ll try restarting and starting the download as u guys say...i ll get back to u in a bit =) i hope it works lol i soo want to get back into EQ2 lol
