			My internet is maybe not the fastest on the planet, but it's decent enough.   But after nearly 2 hours of downloading and installing, the client is still at only 28%.  Is this normal?  I did a search and only came up with some tangent topics about very specific technical issues.   I could have possibly overlooked a sticky somewhere, maybe?I thought it might be due to heavy traffic, but it's now been over a week since the reboot to F2P, and traffic should have started to even out. But even so this is somewhat excessive.  Is there some setting that I'm missing? Is this normal?

Last time I had to download a tiny update it took an hour at 96 bytes/s. Yes. Bytes. 
Tested my Internet. Smoking fast speed. Did some downloads and updates for other games. Smoking speed. Went back to try WildStar again. 90-100 bytes.
I don't want to think what will happen with a real update.

			It was painfully slow for me as well, I checked out my net speeds and no issue on my end. I remember starting the install, coming home 4 hours later and thinking wow only got like 11%, had to leave it on overnight to have to ready for after work the following day...so somethings up

			Well that's disappointing. I guess I'll just leave it running when I go to work today.  :/	
----
			I'm having the same problem, downloading for about 3 hours now and only at 2%.  Not a very good first impression of this game...

			I thought it was just me, but glad I'm not the only one that notices the ridiculously slow as hell download speed.Don't get me wrong, it spikes up at times, but then at other times it's reading as BYTES.Think something is wrong on their end somewhere.

			It must be a new problem because when I downloaded the entire game last week it took about 30 minutes. In fact I was shocked how fast it was after a couple other games I play took 12 hours +

I didn't DL a new client but the F2P patch only took roughly 15 - 30 minutes. Maybe try stopping it and restarting?
 
Edit: To say that it did seem to slow way down and then start again a couple of times.

			Yeah been averaging around 200 bytes/sec on the last few % and I'm at 95%.... this many hours for just 7 or 8 gigs :( lol.

...add my name to the list.Currently downloading at around 2KBps average.At this rate it will literally take six months straight, literally, to download the game.30GB is 30,720MB is 31,457,280KB.31,457,280/2 = 15,728,640 seconds.15,728,640/60 = 262,144 minutes.262,144/60 = 4,369.066... hours.4,369.066.../24 = 182.044... days.182.044.../30 = *drum roll*
 
6.068 MONTHS.
