    If you have the CB client downloaded do you need to download the OB client?

    ^ Don't think so, they said just 'patch'.

    Two methods to faster patching:

    A)To speed up download here some tips I got from others here in different threads:

    If you don't have Windows 7, you need to enable UPNP in the config options.
    If possible, bypass your router and direct connect into the PC downloading. If you can't do that you have to open ports on your router.

    "Open 55296 to 55551 on TCP and UDP

    How to DL as a torrent in Windows!

    Firstly keep your current download through the SE installer running

    Goto windows:

    My computer-> C: -> Users -> (whatever your name/folder is) -> My documents -> My Games -> Final Fantasy 14 beta -> downloads -> ffxiv-beta ->

    From here you will see a folder for each of the installers. The first folder is Bca2a~~~~

    The large one that most people are trying to get is d96437e6, open this folder. Open the folder inside named "metainfo"

    Here you will see the torrent file named H2010.07.12.2000

    Open this file (i used Utorrent as my client) and set the place for it to the same as where we looked at the start of my post

    My computer-> C: -> Users -> David (or whatever your name/folder is) -> My documents -> My Games -> Final Fantasy 14 beta -> downloads -> ffxiv-beta ->


    Don't select folder d96437e6

    now press/click ok.

    You will now see that the entry in Utorrent says "checking xx.x%" and will works its way up to 100% at which point the download %age in Utorrent and the SE installer will match.

    **YOU CAN DO THIS WITH ALL THE PATCH TORRENT FILES**

    Now you can close the SE installer window by clicking the cancel button. You should now see better speeds for downloading.

    Make sure DHT is on by going to (in Utorrent) Preferences->Bittorent:
    Enable DHT network
    Enable DHT on new torrents
    Enable Local peer discovery




    I'm personally using uTorrent to grab the 4.7gig client...going at about 300-600KB (a ton of leechers atm)
