Can someone please explain why it would appear, that in order to get a patch for a game that I pay for, I am forced to use third party software and bandwidth? (and no I'm not going to use BT, I fail to why i should have to)
Both the http links and auto-patching are d/l at stupid rates, totaly unacceptable. Scratch that, they all just ground to a complete halt.
I can't even see that you've mirrored any of the patches to reputable d/l sites and I'm not going to d/l from someones ftp that I've never heard of.
Do you think the likes of SOE et al would make their paying clients use something like this?
Is it really much to ask for, to come to the games website and be able to click a couple of links and get a reasonable d/l speed and get on and play the game?
(oh and fanbois don't bother with the flames about why I should use BT, after all you'll have missed my point completly) |

Actually Blizzard use Bittorrent frequently in World of Warcraft for patches.

I was busy yesterday, it's a thing called RL...
And I've stated why I don't want to use it. I fail to see why I should have too. |

You could also have downloaded during the night. If you have a half decent connection you would have been much quicker downloading this yesterday than today. It would only have taken me about 2 hours and even though it was slower than what I'm used to it doesn't matter because I wouldn't have been able to connect until today.
And you didn't say why you wouldn't use BT you just said you didn't see a reason why you had to.

Simply don't use BT if you don't want too.
And pick a number, you are sadly not alone that want to download it...
It's worth the wait if you ask me! |

bittorrent is a great piece of software, i was getting fairly decent speeds (35kb-45kb on a 512k connection). After that i stayed online and uploaded nearly double the amount i had downloaded to other ppl

I can explain but your presupposing anything I say is on the basis of being a "fanboi" so there is little use.
Run BT then play Exodus, or sit and watch bits fly at 3k/s while the rest of us play, end of discussion

You don't have to, but it's an option they've given to you. If you're not going to consider using it, then you don't have a reason to complain about it.

Give me a good reason as to why I should use third party software and bandwidth to download a patch for a game that I pay for.
Other than 'but you'll get the patch now' there isnt one.
I fail to see why a service provider for a product can't allow for enough bandwith to d/l a patch from it's own servers or get them mirrored to reputable sites.
This is just like the farce experienced by people that bought the retail version of HL2, but could use it because steam fell over. |

Yes I do, the other options provided aren't working. What if I was at a Uni that blocked the BT port/s? |

So to sum it up then you had 25 hours to download and install the client before the servers came up. CCP knew there would be a lot of people downloading the client so they decided to speed things up by seeding it with bittorrent. You then in your infinite wisdom decide to not download the client until the server is up and refuse to use bittorrent to get it.
In a related news then I refuse to cook my own dinner because my mom should do it. Even though she lives in Iceland and I in Sweden I'm not gonna eat until she cooks something for me.
