Interesting, looking forward to try it.

Also am I right assuming that this is essentially the same cache being used by EVE Probe already?

Once this is coming to TQ, will we get a dropdown option in the launcher to pick which server we want to connect to?

While I do understand the benefits of this change... there are cons to be considered, too.

I'm not gifted with a high speed + unlimited bandwith connection and chaning the provider won't fix it because there is no other option (and won't be within near future).
My current workaround for the high volume releases:
Start the launcher on a laptop on patch day at a place with high speed + unlimited bandwith connection (work, uni, ...), once the patch is downloaded I can copy&paste it at home, no further download required.

With DoD that won't work anymore. I'll get a mini-patch and only while playing the main part of the patch will be downloaded, eating my monthly bandwith available. Hint: I won't be able to play while at work, it's already nice enough to be allowed to download stuff, won't push that any further.

Do whatever you want or need... but PLEASE think a bit out-of-the-box or even sandbox!

Each player with a low bandwith/volume would be thankfull if you could provide a link where we can download the FULL patch, copy it to an USB stick and take it home.

So atm if I download the DoD Client that was used on Duality and link it to Sisi it tries to download the full 7 GB Patch. So are the Changes not online yet or am I doing something wrong?

So this was brought up before and (I believe) confirmed was a problem. But how is this going to work with the popular and well known bug of the Mac client freezing if your downloading things in the background? Has that elusive bug finally been fixed or are you about to kill every Mac client that tries to use this?

The day after that fix goes out there will be a bottle of top shelf, small batch whiskey en route to CCP with the responsible team's name on it.

I'm just sayin'.

"Downloading updates to res cache: (xxx/11.4GB)"

11.4 GB AAAARRRRGGGG!

Edit: The download is going very, very slowly. I'm on a big pipe, so it's not clear what the issue is. But I do notice that eve has one core of my four totally maxed out, during the download. MBP, intel core i7. Its like its too busy doing....something... to do the download in a timely fashion.
