Indeed he can... or you can just try restarting the launcher a few times. It has happened to me of when i have had a really slow update, but i turned it off for a few hours and then restarted it and it went really quite fast.
Best time though typically seems to be later on at night though (ie post 11pm)
Thanks mate, I'm going to try getting them from Crimson Archer via zipped form. Here's hoping 
Ouch, that could well be a LARGE zip file, seeing as the fastest way would be to recieve a copy of the CoH install directory and then just Cut and pasting it into yours.
Yeah I know :/ Having to get my brother to dl it :/
The other option (as i suggested) was downloading outside of peak hours.
You could also try resetting your router as well... that has resolved slow downloads for me previously.
Got it! Left it overnight after resetting router and rebooting PC!
WOOT!
Thanks Gangrel
Yep, believe it or not, sometimes your router can just mess up a little bit, not to mention as well that off peak hours are typically much faster for downloads anyway
Hi guys, is there any way to dl the issues other than the updater? Reason I ask is my connection speed is frankly laughable. Since getting a new PC I've had to reinstall everything and the worst being CoH. At the current speed, it'll take 44 hours to dl thru the updater. Wondered if I could get my brother to dl the updates then send them to me.
