    Hopefully i read wrong but the client is 15GB?
    Very likely. Most newer MMO's have insane client download sizes.

    Well, I'm downloading my client (1.0.2.13) from PirateBay (getting a constant 200kB/s in comparison to the 18-25kB/s I was getting from the NC Launcher).

    The download's size is 5.27GBs, extracts to 7.86GBs according to the torrent info. Will probably be more depending on whatever updates and patches will need to be downloaded after. I'm only aware of one patch though, which is to version 1.0.2.14 from 1.0.2.10.

    So... I guess I can give you a guestimate, but that's it

    lol... Nah, it was downloading too slowly for me, few thousand seeders and all. Anyway, mine's almost done, so I guess I'll find out soon enough whether it was worth it or not and how much it will need to be patched.

    Thanks though

    rofl... I can beat that.

    Downloaded the PB torrent in about 7-8 hours. The Do Gaming Aion patch (1.0.2.10-1.0.2.14) didn't work, so I had to download the 1.0.2.13-1.0.2.14 patch from AionSource which was 430-odd megs.)

    So, when all that was done (finished in 20 minutes on a 4meg line from the MegaUpload mirror), it still had to patch through the NC Launcher -.-' Patch size? 450-odd megs. This was at 20kB/s, so I went to bed.

    Then I woke up, went to my PC and noticed a couple of things:

    1) There was a little red X next to Aion on the NC Launcher.
    2) The patching server was down (AionSource forums confirmed )

    So, I had clicked on the "Play" button to see the pop up and what it was currently downloading/updating/whatever. After finding the patching server was down, I just cancelled it since it was pointless. The NC Launcher then proceeded to uninstall Aion, including the patches downloaded via the launcher. There wasn't even a confirmation -.-'

    So, I just downloaded the 3GB Open Beta Client Patch from GamersHell (took two hours on a 4MB line from the French server).

    Installed it, ran it and... Finally -.-' Seems patching server's still down though.

    What an epic adventure this was

    And I still maintain this went faster than had I just downloaded via the official torrent or the ghastly NC Launcher

    Oh... And *KICK* .... That was for jinxing it.
