I swear it took my modem less time to download the whole game the first time I did it which was 3 yrs ago. Just a thought but maybe they should consider more small updates instead of these huge ones im no comp wiz but seems to me that the Vanadiel Population would be less aggravated by a few quick 5-10 min updates per month thanby 1 5-7 hr one once a month. OH yeah and OMG they didnt even put in the choco racing feature be prepared for another 10 hrs when they finally decide they got it right and decide to implement that part.

Mine is now 68% and still over 2 hours left... the total time was something like 6-7 hours with 6Mbit connection ( Windows ). I can wait and do other stuff but its quite funny that you need to wait 7 hours for maintenance and 7 hours for downloading, installing etc. ( and that Torrent lol :DD sure i would agree but law wouldnt )

Square-Enix should consider a more direct download scheme so I can get it from their website or a file-share since all of my ports are blocked.
