Thanks Kiara.
If memory serves right, you have to tell the EQ2 Launcher to "Download as I Play" for it to start downloading it in background. Mine was disabled here - now that I enabled it it seems to have started trickling down a good bunch of files:
C:Windowssystem32>bitsadmin /listBITSADMIN version 3.0 [ 7.0.6001 ]BITS administration utility.(C) Copyright 2000-2006 Microsoft Corp.{11B3028D-AC8C-4BA9-8D8D-800574CF41ED} 'SOE [EverQuest 2|Main Distribution-bitsonly|0]Username' TRANSFERRING 0 / 104 10574 / 793710481Listed 1 job(s).
So for shorter download times on Launch Day, it's probably a good idea for people to go into their Launcher, click on "Preferences", and make sure both options are set to "Download while I play". Windows will then start downloading the expansion files in background whenever the bandwith is unused. This will be quite a few hundred megs less to download on Launch Day
