Ok, so it took nearly 3 days for the patcher to patch my old installation of the game. That's a long time.
 
Now, I go to start the game, and the patcher is now REPATCHING, starting from 0%.  Repatching the whole danged client all over again!
 
No. Forget this. I am not coming back.

3 Days? what are u using dial up?
 
If the downloader gets stuck on slow motion close the client and restart it...

A new patch appears to have been released today... are you on DSL? If so, I feel your pain. Players with DSL should get the option to start the patch early. My bandwidth is so low, that I cannot do anything else on the internet while downloading a file, so I MUST do it while away or sleeping. :3 I would just be patient. I doubt it's redownloading everything, unless you deleted a bunch of files. 
 
Update: I just finished in about a minute with a 2.5 mbps connection. I would try temporarily disabling your firewall, or using a VPN just for the download. I've had problems with minuscule download speeds for other programs, and that helped.

It looks like I jumped the gun on this. Kyuss hit the nail on the head.
 
The last time I played, I had cable internet, but over the past few months the service had deteriorated into uselessness. The modem rebooting every few minutes from T3 timeouts due to upstream noise, that made downloading impossible, much less gaming. And Time Warner Cable has effectively refused to fix it, so I've recently switched to DSL. Sloooow, but it works.
 
Anyway, after a very long time downloading, only to see it downloading again, I jumped to conclusions instead of realizing that it was a new patch. Sorry for my grumpy post.
 
But it would be nice if the patcher showed the date of the patch it's downloading. Didn't the old patcher do that?
