Exclamation I give up. [Slow Installer Download Problems]

I give up, I could care less. I dont want to play anymore.
Unless there is a different installer, I dont want to play.
This one, is not working. it keeps giving an error that says THIS FILE IS CORRUPTED
then tells me to start over, I refuse to wait another 2hr and 30min only for it to tell Its corrupted!
This is ridiculous...

Dude, I'm in the same boat. I DL all 3 files to the same folder, and when I click on the installer.exe file i get to data2.cab and it gags, then says it's corrupted. I've tried dl'ing that file 3 times. Same result. Unless I can replace that data2 file separately, I don't see any way of getting into the early release. I'm seriously angry right now.

At least you can get them DLed that fast.

Hours later, I'm at 50% of the first file.

Now you know why the parrot and weapon are thrown in with the Pre-Order-- you'll only get one day before Release and you gotta have something to show for your early initiative!

Cripes, I hope the patch doesn't take this long.

Let it be known that I don't blame any of this on FLS, other than their decision to sign with Sony. Devs-- you oughta get your business guys fired. I would have ponied up the dough for development!!! ;-)

Ptaching can take longer. I patched for 14 hours when I was in closed beta =(

Agreed. Canceling this whole thing if FLS and SOE don't get their *dancing act together.

False advertising at its finest. 15 days my ***. Just *****d off a ton of customers.

I just wish I didn't uninstall the beta, now that I know I could have just used that and got in the game within 5 mins. Isn't it sad that a company cannot even release a non-corrupt version of the files?

Same here. Trying one more time then stopping for now.

Id watch your language though. Not yelling, just saying devs will get mad. otherwise youd see F and much more enthusiasm in my posts.

Im ready to dump this completely. Seriously FLS, if you see this many people are having problems, USE THE OLD SOE DOWNLOADER.

If you mean the downloader that was available up until today, don't bother. It was giving me the EXACT same corrupt message on ther EXACT same file. My guess is that you will find the same thing.

I can't believe i'm at this point and seriously thinking of forgetting about PoTBS completely, but... here we are.
