I give 100 +1's.
I have the worst internet connection, 6Mb which actually runs at around 3.5Mb.
Initial login was sluggish (the longest part of the whole process) but once past that, things just worked.
Even with my crappy internet it took less than 20 mins from downloading installer to login and undocking.
Once this goes live will I need multiple installs for multiple clients or will I still be able run my 9 clients as I do now from one install?
My opinions are mine.
If you don't like them or disagree with me that's OK.- - - - - -

Ok now i am confused.
I moved the cache (and changed path) to the same drive as the install and the same folder as the install.
Start launcher (no problem here)
Enter password, Login (no problem)
PLAY goes green very quickly. Hit play and it just hangs for several seconds on Launching then goes back to play, did this 3 times before game finally loaded (to character selection).
As it was loading I noticed my bandwidth monitor was going off the rails. So closed the game down to investigate.
What I found -
I now have 2 "SharedCache" folders, 1 on C:\ has 125MB the other on F:\ has 977MB
It seems there was a new CCP\EVE\SharedCache folder created on C:\ when I loaded the launcher (going by time stamps) and both of them updated. The original folder on F:\ was only 925MB
What I have
F:\Duality_DoD/SharedCache (created, 17/12/2014 9:46PM)
C:\ProgramData\CCP\EVE\SharedCache\ResFiles (created, 18/12/2014 08:23AM)
C:\ProgramData\CCP\EVE\SharedCache\res_temp (created, 18/12/2014 08:31AM)
My opinions are mine.

Hook it up with those sweet, sweet hires textures. I don't care if it's 200+GB. I didn't buy a multi-TB HDD to not use it.
I'm just a pleb but my understanding of this change, you will indeed be able to have high textures, if you have your game (graphics) setup for high textures. On the other hand if like many you have your graphics set for performance rather than pretty, you will only get the textures required for your current settings.
If I can ever afford a computer to run multiple clients on high texture settings the new client will download what is required, at the time they are required.

Make sure the location of this cache is able to be set in the installer, and will not dump straight to the C Drive, since not all of us use that drive for storing bulk files. A dialog box in the settings of the Launcher sets this path. See the "Resource Download" tab.
Do check it though..
I changed the default to my preferred location and on the next launcher start it had reverted back to C:\XXX
Ended up with 2 res folders both of which were downloading the same content.
X; After changing it a 2nd time to my preferred location it seems to be ok.

There is a few QOL options I would like to see added to the client/ launcher.
1) The ability to switch characters on the same account without having to quit game and go back to the launcher.
Maybe next to to the "Quit Game" could be a 2nd option, "Character Selection" ?
2) The option to save passwords in the launcher would simply be a quality of life thing for multiboxers. I rarely forget passwords but having to type them in multiple times each day becomes tedious.
3) For multiple monitor setups, having the client open in the window you have the launcher in rather than the main (monitor set as "1"). So placing the launcher in monitor 2, that is where the client will open.
