Where can I find the CohUpdater.com?

If you log into your NCSoft account, then click on your CoH account, you'll see a link to download the CoH_NA_Setup.exe, its 10.9 MB. Does that help?
Edit: Checking the Wiki I see that the ftp site is ftp://client.coh.com/US/
Ya Paragon Wiki!

go to http://us.ncsoft.com/en/ and login to your account.
The clients are available to download there.
Well, it turns out that works 
I remember once upon a time when you had to download all 800 MB of original client, which the updater would basically disregard thereafter. Glad to see that has changed. Thanks
*edit*
Huh... So the FTP still exists. I'd have preferred to use that, but the installer off the NC site did the job. At least it didn't try to install the NC Soft Launcher on me

Keep in mind that if you still have your original CoH installation, you can skip most of the downloading process; simply delete the coh.checksum file from the root folder. That will force a file verification and only download stuff you're missing.

That's what I'll do on the other PC (once it's done formatting 900GB worth of hard drive space that the god damn thing has been at for an hour and a half!) but I don't have CoH on this laptop. It was on the other hard drive, which is now in a plastic bag on my bed. I seem to have lost the access information for my router and I wouldn't know how to set up a decent file sharing system between the two computers anyway, so I'm setting it to redownload. That, along with Steam.

An hour and a half? Yow - is that with a full or a quick format? The latter basically just flushes the FAT and is generally done within a minute. The former wipes everything, so the larger the disk, the longer it takes.
As far as sharing goes, it's pretty straightforward, at least for a temporary arrangement. Simply right-click on the folder, properties, sharing and add "Everyone". When you're done copying, simply remove the share.
PS: If you've got a USB flash drive on hand, you could just transfer the files like that.
Every time I reinstall, it's always the same problem - how do I reinstall City of Heroes without downloading useless clients that'll be overridden anyway, and without having to do a badly out-of-date installation that will be overwritten, as well. The last CDs I have are from the CoV preorder.
There used to be an FTP where I could just download the US CohUpdater.exe and just run that, having that download everything it needs, but either the FTP is down or I have completely forgotten the address. Either way, does anyone know of an official place where I can snag the updater from? I don't want to just grab whatever off some third party site I don't trust in the slightest, after all.
