Pre-load: Let's turbo it
![Aristillius](https://forums.beamdog.com/uploads/userpics/924/n0O23R5ZPR5A4.jpg)
I saw that there is a "turbo" option for the beamdog client. Activating this seems to activate P2P download, meaning you download from other people as well as from beamdog meaning everybody downloads faster.
So, I encourage everybody to activate turbo, (this might also help on the 28th)

If you have problems to download the files with the official installer, you can try to download them with your prefered torrent software instead. To do it you'll have to login on the beamdog website and follow this link:
http://www.beamdog.com/client/beam/00766.torrent
It will download the BGEE torrent file which you can use to download the preload data files.
After the download finished, you can copy the 00766 folder with all its content over to the location of the official downloader.
Depending on whether you used the beamdog client or the dedicated BGEE downloader before, you should locate the '\BeamDog\Games' (beamdog client) or '\Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition\Data' (dedicated BGEE installer) and copy the 00766 folder from the torrent download location into there. You'll probably have to overwrite existing files. Do so as those files are likely incomplete.
Now you'll only have to delete the files 766.beam and 766.status from this very same folder. Start the official downloader/beamdog client again. It will check the files and should confirm that the download is complete.
Cheers,

PS: for comparison: official client got stuck at 2% for me and wouldn't download anymore. Using deluge (torrent downloader) I was able to download with 300-1500 kb/s and had the download finished within 40 minutes.
