If you're installing from anything except a Going Rogue DVD, the first time you run a newly-installed copy of City of Heroes, it needs to download about 3 GB of game files. This does take several hours on anything except the fastest internet connections.
There are two ways around it:
1) Install from a Going Rogue DVD.
2) Copy the City of Heroes directory from a computer that has CoH installed.
I ended up going to futureshop today, and picking up a copy of the game. It's not the latest version, so I'm patching at the moment. Installing still took a long time, but it was better than the file fixing yesterday.

So my old hard drive croaked on me, and I'm having to reinstall everything..What a pain in the butt!
Anyhow, I downloaded the CoH game client, and it's "fixing files". It's only processing at 170k a second, give or take, and says it will take several hours. Is that normal? Is there any way around this?
