I have DSL and have experienced NO problems with any other web sites excite this forum and the Members Area today.
I try to download the 1.3 patch and the blue progress bar never gets past 25% of the way before it freezes and completely stops.
Will someone do something so that we can get these patches downloaded????????????

Server seems to be hit hard currently.

Seems to be a DDOS attack by downloading the patch.

Assuming you've not already begun downloading by now, try this...
Instead of just clicking the link and waiting, try a "Right click/Save target as" on that link. I saw the same thing the first time I tried a download. Right click/Save target as got me to downloading immediately.
Bear in mind, the server is REALLY bogged down as I have a 5 megabit cable connection and the best I mustered was just over 20kb/sec for throughput. So if you're determined to get it now, its going to be slow.
Try the right click though, it should save you some trouble. [8D]

Yes, no joy here as yet. I guess it's better probably to wait a while. As a Brit, I must say, though, shouldn't all you chaps across the pond be too busy voting to have time for downloading? Where are your priorities? Yes, I know....[:)]

You make me feel better about the 69K/s throughput I had when D/L it around 1AM [:'(][:D][:D]
Guess now that words out things are bogged down indeed..
