I passed the sound.piggs with a ridiculous amount of hours remaining (mine was 777k hours) problem twice but different methods.

Method 1: Wait 2-3 hours while it's stuck with the guide under "slow updating" http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...657#post803657. Mine is this "-ps 64.25.34.140" but It might be the same for you. Waiting awhile might, eventually, pass the stuck phase starting at bytes and rises the speed slowly.

Method 2 (on other PC): I'm not sure how it happened but it didn't get stuck even for a second. The only thing I did different, on my laptop, is install it without the discs but the "slow updating" guide mentioned in method 1 with "-ps 64.25.34.140" also.


I really hope this helps. If you are an expert in programming then you can ask me a few questions about other possibilities why my PC in method 2 passed without getting stuck and can share it here

Hi, I started playing CoH a month after it came out and I stopped playing about 2-3 years ago and now I'm coming back for a short time. Now I am installing it from scratch and I have the original installation discs and installed fine but when I go into the updater and wait awhile it says it's going at 5k/sec and gets lower and the time remaining says it needs 3.1G to finish, and 250 hours till completion. I reset the router a few times, made sure no anti virus, download programs, etc. are off and reset the computer and it won't go faster. Anyone got an idea on how to fix this?
