Finally after fighting with the patch for a day, Wizet finally put up a bittorrent link to it, so I was able to dl it super-fast. Before that, I kept trying the auto-patcher, which would give me an error around 10/11kb dled. This happened three times before Silver (thanks!) suggested I dl the manual patch.
Brilliant! So I skipped off to do just that. It stopped dling at 31%. So I re-dled, and left it overnight. I got up in the morning to find out it stopped at 31% again. Grrr. That was when I noticed they finally had the BT link up for this version. All went smoothly after that.
