alright so just leave us in the dust with 50kb d/l speeds while you enjoy playing your beta?
You can't play today if you have the client or not. And I would be willing to bet you won't be playing until all CE invites are out to be fair to all CE orders. It would REALLY irk people to have a CE preorder and not have an invite yet while other CE preorders are already playing.
50 kb isn't bad at all! Take you what? 2-3 days? Do some configuring and you can increase that speed. People who get low torrent speeds are subject to 3 issues. 1. ISP traffic shaping 2. Setting up the torrent program wrong 3. Port forwarding. Any of these are easily researched on google/youtube. Did you increase your connections? turn on encryption? Port forward? reduce upload speed to 50%-75% of max to not kill download speeds? If your ISP shapes your traffic you have to wait for off peak hours.
CE closed beta isn't up yet so you have plenty of time and they gave you all the pertinent info. Download the client but servers aren't up yet.
Why would Mythic use torrents? Well lots of data for a client, lots of people that need that data, and lots of bendwidth needed. Using the patcher(if its DDL) thing draws more bandwidth from Mythic and may cause issues for them. I wouldn't reccomend that until they say its okay.
Don't know about you sport, but I have better things to do with my bandwidth than sit around waiting for WAR to DL. The faster it's DLed, the faster I can get back to doing other bandwidth intensive tasks.
like what? porn? getting illegal isos? ![]()
just set if over night while you sleep...wake up turn it off....use your bandwidth however you want, turn on torretn, go to bed. by the time you are done you could be playing when the servers come up eventually
OR
hey...use that nifty little patcher trcik and not worry about it
Yes, because porn and illegal isos are the only two bandwidth intensive applications ON THE PLANET! Dumbass.

I'm going to have to settle for regular edition, can't find any collector's editions pre-orders in any store.
They all stopped selling them last month.

No Warhammer Online CE after Monday 7/14
Hey guys,
Jason from GoGamer. Hope you don't mind the intrusion, I haven't posted here in a while, but I wanted to give everyone a heads up. IF you are interested in purchasing a CE of WAR, you must have your Pre-Order in by this coming Monday morning. All retailers will be pulling their listings for the CE and stop taking pre-orders for the CE first thing on Monday. Apparently, their 60K will all be sold-out by then. So, if you would like to get your copy reserved you must do it this weekend. Of course, it would be nice if you placed a pre-order with us. :-) Remember, that if you place a pre-order with us we won't charge you until it ships, so if you want one of these limited copies lock in yours now. Just make sure you have money in your account a couple days prior to ship. Oh and we have NO EXTRA HANDLING FEE like some other retailers and WE ARE UPGRADING ALL DIRT CHEAP SHIPPING TO PRIORITY MAIL for FREE. This is what EA has communicated to us and they say no more will be made available after release. Thought you guys should know. Also, everyone who places a pre-order with us prior to Monday will receive their beta, head-start and in-game keys as normal. I hope some of you found this helpful. If anyone has any questions let me know. Jason GoGamer.com |

This will allow you to mostly bypass the torrent and instead patch from the patcher:
1) Download Best Download Manager - FlashGet Flashget.
2) Download or open your beta torrent with it
3) It'll prompt you to download individual files from the torrent, download all the warpatch or "patch" related files- you can't miss them. They're fairly small.
4) Download these to a folder then run Warpatch.exe and you will be good to go providing you have made sure your beta account exists.
Heh, I had started DLing last night from Torrent. Saw your suggestion and popped open my download folder, clicked the patcher.
You deserve a beer!
