If the version you downloaded via torrent is several issues old, then the updater is grabbing all the patches and issues since then. Those can add up to a couple GB.

This is incorrect. The updater will resume downloading where it left off the last time it was downloading something. The only time it starts over is if it is "FIXING" or "VERIFYING", as these are done on your computer (you're not downloading anything) and must be completed in one go.

Hang on... That might not be entirely true...

I got a new laptop a while ago and it came with Vista, which I was not too familiar with and I had the same problem.

Here's what I did...

Go to the NC Soft website: http://www.cityofheroes.com/account/...of_heroes.html then select the link to the correct Client that you want. DO NOT CLICK IT! You have to right click it and select "Save Target As..." and save to the desk top. Once that is done (should be emmediate) go to desk top and right click that icon and select "Run as Admin" and it shoud work just fine.

Again, this is what I did when I had a problem with the client download. Hope it helps.

From a torrent? That just sounds like you're asking for trouble.

Also, delete the file Coh.checksum from your CoH directory - that will force the reverifying and might save you a lot of download time.

Also, why torrent? Downloading the game directly via the CoHupdater.exe will do almost all of the work for you, and generally a lot faster too.
