It can take quite a while to download the game (it's just under 3 gigs in size). You really don't need that fast of a connection to play the game, so I wouldn't worry about that... it just generally takes a while to download.

So I've also had this problem.
I'm downloading right now at 17k/sec. 17k a sec. seventeen Kilobytes a second.
I've never downloaded this slowly before. It says it will take 38 hours to download.
Anybody got a suggestion?
First stop and then restart the updater. The updater will remember how much you've downloaded. There are a number of download servers perhaps the one you originally got is having network problems.
Second, if that didn't work is to modify the updater shortcut to use one of the alternate download ports. The default one happens to fall within the standard port range used by Bittorrent clients and who knows if somebody somewhere is messing around with traffic shaping in that port range.
Do a right click on the shortcut and select Properties. Now at the end of the Target line add -port 13094, include a space before the -. Your Target line should now look something like this;
"C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\CohUpdater.exe" -port 13094
The other port you could try is 23094

I have tried this previous to posting (Though why I didn't say that earlier is beyond me.)
Tried it on another computer with the same issue. Got another idea? Maybe I should try proxying to another server?
Ah, and I just grabbed my neighbor's wireless connection, and same issue.
*EDIT*
Set up port forwarding for that port, and rebooted the router. Now downloading at full T1 speed.
Im trying the 14day free trial and have DL'd the game. The first time clicking on the game to get going and the updater kicks in...I just let it go and came back later. Well, it's been 1-1/2 hours and we're not even to 25% yet. Is this normal? Is this an indication that my 3 year old computer is too far gone to play this game?
