Hello,
I'm doing a clean install on a Vista running PC and the patcher won't update.
Any tips?

Getting any sort of error message?

It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.

Nope, it just hangs, no byte transfer at all.

Please note that prior to downloading patch files, the updater might say "Downloading file manifest" with no progress bar and apparently stuck. This is normal; just let it sit there for five minutes and it'll move to the patching phase, which does have a progress bar and reports download speeds.

After the download manifest thing, it downloads a little bit (talking about a couple of Ks) and then the transfer goes to 0 bytes. It stops on piggs/soundmusic.pigg
I left it over night and downloaded 1.15G and lost all day today trying to get it to continue.

That particular pigg is 91MB. Try deleting it, AND delete the file Coh.checksum in your City of Heroes folder; it should force the client to reverify and download that file again.

In case you know how to do a MD5SUM, this is what the Live files are supposed to be; the last patch was small (1.7MB) and should not have modified THAT MUCH. Find the files that changed, delete those, and let the updater get them again.

You might try turning off your virus scanner while updating. Do NOT go anywhere on the web or even open email while the scanner is off, though. It would probably be a good idea to hit Windows Update before you try that, too.
