The file is over 3 Gigs. it can take a while. If you can find a way copy the folder the game is in somewhere then paste it inside the folder the updater created and delete the checksum file and restart the updater to speed things up significantly.

I always find it incredibly slow on my connection too. And its a fairly common complaint. However it likley to be the fault of your ISP, or one of the hops inbetween you and NCSoft.
Some ISPs will throttle (limit the speed) the port that heroes uses, there is a couple of articles realting to it on the NCsoft support section: Network Ports Used by City of Heroes/Villains and changing the port in I have a problem patching or logging on to City of Heroes or City of Villains
Hope that helps. I suggest to new people to download the game then activate trial for this reason, which wont do you much good.
The game is worth it though.
I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):
Why in the man of god does it take so long to download the game client.....my connection is over 3mbps and still its taking me 6 freaking hours to download the thing.......
