(yes I did download the update a week ago that was 450 MB or something).
No it's 15 or 16 MB I think. Then compressing the files for 5 minutes. Then more updates and then.......

Well, it seems a bit slow

I'm not geting any updates.
And what is with the random "Change secondary profession on the fly.. kinda"?
You can change secondary to no secondary, original secondary or current secondary.

Majoho, at least you are getting the updates, I'm suppose to be on the EU server and I'm not getting any updates. Been reloading the client every 5 minutes for the last half and hour, and no updates.

been doing small updates for the past hour or so, about 2-5mb each and just got the biggest one so far, about 300files which obviously a lot of people are also getting since it's moving very very slowly T_T (think dial-up speeds)

living in the UK btw

This is a farce, my client has started downloading that huge update, FOR THE SECOND TIME.

Seriously, a 7 hour delay, and then a complete joke of an actual update? WTF?

No updates when I load up the game. Nightfall selection is still darkened. And I'm on US servers.

*sigh*
Suppose I'll have to wait until after work.
