Thanks for sending the file, where in the everquest directory should this file go, since i cant search for this one.

[TSR-DanielH]

<p>Remove the '_delta_5' from the end of the file so it simply says "Everquest2.exe".  Then place the file in the directory where you installed Everquest 2.</p><p>(Default: C:Program FilesSonyEverQuest II)</p>

[Chompie]

Iam on the military base, but its a Japanese ISP, I checked with them and they are not throttling.   I reinstalled eq2 and download all of the huge patch except the last files.   Weird that iam able to download the all the other files from a fresh install untill the end then i cant get these.

This issue started up again for me about 2 weeks ago now, i was hoping to see if there is any fix you can recommend I went through the checklist again did all the normal stuff (bypass'd router, turned off software firewall's etc..)  I Ran everything on my Windows XP and my Vista (yes normal admin etc..)  Again iam able to download everything (if i do a reinstall it downloads everything but the last) .  I have tried patching from 3 diffrent ISP's from japan aswell.[06:20:06] Patcher: Scanning Distribution exppak04-pur-en ------------------[06:20:13] Patcher: curl_easy_perform failed (22,2<img src="/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />: Resolving host timed out: soecontent.station.sony.com[06:20:13] Patcher: DownloadFileEx failed (22) on url=http://soecontent.station.sony.com:80/patch/eq2/en/patch0/main/EverQuest2.exe_delta_3.gz[06:20:13] Patcher: Download cancelled at file EverQuest2.exeThanks in advance

If you are tech save, try the following for your DNS resolver in your tcpip configuration</p><p>Primary DNS - 4.2.2.1</p><p>Secondary DNS 4.2.2.2</p><p>Before you enter them, try doing a ping to both addresses to verify they are reachable</p>

That worked You the man = )
