Problems downloading SoD

[Haggis13]

<p>I'm having problems downloading the new Shards of Destiny patch. It seems to download all right all the way up to the end, but then it suddenly says "Download cancelled" right after downloading the credits.txt_delta file. If I click "Download" again at this point, it starts with downloading from the Char_WEP.vpk file (even though it got past that before) and the same thing happens: it says "Download cancelled" right after having downloaded the credits.txt_delta file. Does anybody know what may be causing this?</p><p>For the record, I'm a European player, but I prefer playing on the American servers. I've tried both the American and the European client, but both show the same problem for me.</p>

<p>Same thing happened to me, with some added twists.  Spent about 35 minutes downloading the SOD update, then when I hit play it gave me some kind of "Everquest 2 not available at this time, please check the website" or something like that.  Then  on subsequently reopening the launcher it starts a 45 minute download to get all my .vpk files, weird.</p><p>14 minutes left on that download so I hope it lets me in this time.  For the record I ran it in Administrator mode.</p>
