First thing you should do is contact CoH support, they likely have some troubleshooting steps for you to try.

"Meanwhile In The Halls Of Titan"...Titan Network Working To Save City Of Heroes
Save Paragon City! Efforts Coordination
Some Unix advice: Use a SSH client to login to the mac when it freezes (even if your controlls behind the computer fails it will normally work)
Kill the CoH proc, you will likely have to use SIGSEGV, SIGKILL or perhaps even SIGILL.
This should abort (well it should "destroy" the proc) the updater.
If what I just wrote seems giberish ask several people you know about it or come back on it. It's slightly advance Unix stuff.

When the updater is running it states: "Fixing file: pigg/geom pigg".
Once it gets to around 29 MB of a 32 MB file, it freezes. If I hit quit, the whole computer freezes. I can't even get into the pull down menus to force quit. The last attempted upgrade caused a very high pitched noise around the left lower corner of the computer where the hard drive is located, very disturbing. So what is going on and are there any tips? Thanks in advance.
