***EDIT***

Go into your City of... directory and delete the .checksum file.
Try again, let us know if it helps.

Perhaps you've installed some program or something which may have messed with the ports.
Well i had already deleted the checksum file, which didnt work - sorry i forgot to mention that before.
Turns out it was just taking its time, and i mean it really took its time. Afterwards it was dloading new files and a whopping 3.1kb/s - not a clue why it was going so slow, but its sorted now, thanks for the responses though guys/gals
Sounds like port-throttling by your ISP, to be honest - CoH uses at least one port that is commonly used by torrent software, and some ISPs artificially slow down data transfer through those ports. I think there's a way to force it to use alternative ports, but I can't remember how.
Anyway, glad your problem is solved (and for future reference, you may want to try to time download of patches outside peak hours - that might prevent or mitigate the throttling).

Hi all,
I have been able to play CoX no problem - until today. my patcher is checksumming every time and afterwards it just gets stuck on 'downloading file manifest'. any ideas?
thanks
