Hey guys, dunno if it's just me, but patching the PTS client is really slow (on my 100 mbps connection), and it frequently stalls, times out, and has to be retried before coming up again.

Close down your patcher and give these steps a try:

Slow download speeds
Through your Start Menu, search for and run Internet Options
Click the Connections tab
Click the LAN Settings button
De-select the Automatically detect settings box
Depending on your configuration, it may also help to temporarily disable your firewall and/or anti-virus software.

Cheers Alexander, but it seems to have recovered after I did another retry - currently at patch 3/5.

Edit: Nice PNT build, BTW. I run one just like it

Edit 2: Perhaps I spoke too soon. I get good speeds (about 7 MB/s), but as soon as I do something else like surfing the forums, the patcher download stalls and won't come up again until it times out with the retry box (roughly 5 minutes?).
Guess I'll have to refrain from forum warrioring while the last two patches download

Edit 3: Thankfully patch 3 was the big one. All patched up now, going in...
