I am very very good with computers. In both software/hardware and even more so with networking.

I am running Vista x64 bit, so that automatically gives you some heads up with what I am facing, install wise.

I downloaded the game from Direct2Drive since no place around here still carrys the game itself. It downloaded fine, and installed fine.

During the patcher. I initially got the error -47 I think it was. Must of been some internet problems on my part. So I ran it again and it did it once more. Except now further into the patching downloading I got error -30. Could not write file or was a read only [I think it said]. I ran the launcher again from the direct source instead of from the shortcut and ran it as Admin.

So right now I am waiting to see what will happen since it takes a super long time to download. I also set its priority to High through the Proccess in TM [while running TM through Admin mode].

So I'm waiting to see what's gonna happen. I have work in an hour, and will be back in 7-8 hours. Any suggestions for when I come back on something I might be missing?

Edit:

Forgot to mention that I also had opened up ports 9700 as UDP under "launcher.exe", and 10000-11000 as Both TCP and UDP under  "launcher.exe"... [And as I was typing this I got error -48, that the download was terminated unexpectedly.]

Is there a manual patch I can download, since this is getting annoying.
