When launching CoH, the updater tries to connect to #'s 1 and up but cant. So far Im up to "Connecting...#10". Ive tried restarting my computer and deleting the Coh.checksum i read from another thread just to try. Any ideas?

Slow Updating
This one has been vexing us for years. Obviously, if you have BitTorrent or some such running then it could be filling up your bandwidth. Dialup users will, of course, have very slow connections. However, sometimes people with otherwise speedy connections will get very slow downloads when trying to update files. Heaven only knows why.

About all you can do for this is quit the updater, shut down your whole machine (including the router/cable modem), bring it all up, and then try the updater again. If it still isn’t working, you can try the following to see if you can find a better update source.

<ul type="square">[*]Hit the start key and R to bring up the Run dialog box. Put in cmd and press return.[*]At the prompt, type “nslookup cohupdate.coh.com” (without the quotes) and press return. You’ll get a long list of addresses. Keep that window open.[*]Go to your shortcut you use to run the updater. Right click on it and select properties.[*]In the target window, add a space to the end then put in “-ps” (no quotes), another space, then one of the addresses that was found. So the target box might have something like: "C:\Games\City Of Heroes\CohUpdater.exe" -ps 216.107.250.194[*]Click OK and run the updater again via the shortcut. Keep doing this with IP addresses on the list until you find one that works for you.[*]After you finish updated, I would suggest putting your shortcut back the way it was. Those IP addresses are subject to change and, if the one you are using does change, your updater will stop working.[/list]
