Download servers for the update have already crumbled: 0.1-0.15MB/s, ETA 12-17h. So glad I have a 50mb/s line.

You'd think it would be possible to bang a bittorrent client into the launcher, wouldn't you? So that when the latest image hasn't propagated fully across Cloudfront, users would be able to share what they downloaded peer to peer. Amazon even supports it: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/S3Torrent.html

For extra kudos, tunnel Bittorrent over the ED P2P protocol so nasty ISPs can't be senselessly mean, because the client update traffic is indistinguishable from the game traffic.

Hey, Rep works again :)
 
Last night; download beta. Go to bed with DL running, tonight download new patch at 0.51 Mb/s looks like I will at least get the download in progress bit tested for you FD ;)
 
Basically because you cant, but it would be nice

If you have 2 separate installs you can.
Run the live game from your normal install, log in start the game and close the launcher.
Run the launcher again from your beta install folder and off you go.

It only appears slow while its getting the new files, once thats done the progress bar should rip along to 100%
