Unfortunatly my upload is borked for some reason (I can't upload faster than 20kb/s). But it will be up on my site within 30 minutes, so keep checking.

And your website is where ? or do announce it here ?
It seems someone doesn't want me posting the link to my mirror. You'll need to use eve-search or something to find my old thread in Known issues and whatnot. Good luck!

Please DO NOT post link to third party downloads of the EVE patch. We respect that your intentions are good, however many accounts have been compromised previously by using altered downloads and we wish to minimise the exposure to such risk as much as we can, thank you. -wystler
Might be a good idea to take a very good look at your patch download page/system then and revise it. After all, what's the point of spending money on developers, QA, etc - fixing the bugs and improving the game if people cannot download the patches. This is a serious issue that you should be looking at, instead of shunning. Some people cannot download patches via your website due to unknown reasons (and the system is far from perfect).
There's no archive of patches (if people went on holiday for 3-4 months, they may not want to download the entire client all over again). There's no mirrors (people need alternates to download - they don't need to be in different countries, just on another server so that they have more options to choose from).
I've said this before, and I'm still in awe that nobody is doing anything about it. You (CCP) need to fix issues with your website, so people can download the patch. The reason people are having their accounts stolen via unlegit downloads and people pretending to host "patches", is because your system is faulty, and they need to go to these people to get their patches.

Not going to comment on the rest, but if you go to the EVE Patches page to the left you can download a patch based on your current version. In other words, an incremental patch from the last time you played (pre-holiday) up to the current version.
At least, thats how I remember it working when I went on a five month 'holiday' and came back. I just put in my client version and got linked to a handy download.
I know of that, but it's never worked for me (and I know a lot of people who've been in the corps I've been in have had problems in the past with getting it to work). Like I said in my post. The entire patch download system on the website is odd, and works for some, and not for others (even with the correct browser settings). It needs looking at :(
