How do you start the final download? I've just been launching my BG:EE desktop icon and it says preload complete and then loads up old news after a minute...
People were getting logged out because of the crashed servers. At least I was. With the forum getting stable again, forum participation right now has risen to 75K online.

You can click on "preload complete" and the download starts if the server is ready for it. You will download the last 100 Mb (most probably at a slow rate). Make sure to enable "Use P2P" to get your rate as high as possible. Good luck! ;-)
I had to actually click the "Preload Complete" text and it finally started downloading. I'm playing now, but the cursor dissapears in full screen when equipping items. I had to switch to windowed, and that has it's share of annoyances.
I woke this morning despondent as it was still downloading... I had to pause it as I turn off my wifi when I'm not at home... Clicked the download bar to pause... It went pause for two seconds then suddenly turned into a play button... JUST AS I HEAD TO WORK!
Was on at noon for the download, started it about 3 hours later. Eventually finished downloading a few hours after that and actually on my first playthrough got to Xzar before the Freezing epidemic hit me. I've been trying to get it to run smoothly but I've let it crash my computer over 35 times now and have manually rebooted it each time cause Ctrl Alt Del doesn't work
Now I realize my computer can't even run the game because it simply is old and sucks balls.
I'll be out most of Friday afternoon, but I'm expecting the servers to crash anyway so no huge loss. Hopefully I'll be able to spend the weekend curled up with blankets and junk food and relive the glory days (except the glory days were hunting winter wolves south of nashkel for countless in-game months, but anyway).

I'll download and fire it up when i get back, hopefully the demand has slowed down by then
Don't forget to eat and stuff guys!
How many megabytes is it?
I'm sure I got a 450 kilobytes pre download
I've spent the last 2 hours downloading the patch at 20-30 kbps.
Oh, yay ... 99.9%, and minute now!
Aaaaargh! Playing all tonight!
