Patcher Problem

[orgchem]

<p>Today I purches EQ2 with all the expansions via digital download.  It had been patching for the last 7 hours.  Right when it got to the end, it jumped up to an estimated time of 14 hours remaining, and is now downloading more files.</p><p> I tried that trick where you put a copy of EQ2.exe on the desktop and start the game from there, but it still continues downloading with a wait time of 14 hours.</p><p> Is this normal?  Does it really have more to download or is there something messed up with mine?  This is my second time purchasing the game, and the first time I did I had nothing but problems with the patcher.  I figured they'd have fixed it by now.</p><p>sigh</p>

It took me 2 weeks to patch with 3MB DSL. I can download 20gb overnight from other sources, but for some reason the patcher insists on using absolutely minimal bandwidth. It might help however if you go into preferences and disable all the optional content.
