P2P doesn't seem to be speeding anything up though. I'm averaging 50 kb/s on a 6 mb/s connection with P2P enabled. Guess I'll have to let it run overnight although the client has already crashed twice.
rather stable rate of about 80kb/sek in middle europe with P2P on (but i assume that's just providing data to other users, not getting more data in).
the client stopped to respond to me 2 times now (not showing up anymore when alt-tabbing to it), but it came back to live after a minute or two and was working in the background obviously, as downloaded data has increased in the meantime.
watching the number grow slowly, while playing around with 2.0 of BG:EE and BG2:EE ...
I restared the client after enabling p2p, don't know if it helped but I downloaded with more then 1mb/s finished the install after half an hour maybe, didn't really keep track of either speed or time (I live in Sweden).
I don't understand why it seems to be downloading all the BG1 data again when I already had it installed. Surely things would have been somewhat faster if we only had to download the extra 1gb instead of the full 3.7gb?
This is absurd, what's the point from buying(preordering even) from Beamdog if you won't even be able to play on launch, while people who bought from steam are already playing it even though it released hours after it did on beamdog. Lesson learned.
I wonder if Beamdog will give me a refund on my direct purchase so I can repurchase through Steam in order that I might actually be able to play the game today.

PS. Will it work for SoD or just for the patches?

Ps. Forget it, it was just a few seconds. Down to 15 kbs
Now? 10 KB/s. FML.
edit: this is a 6.25 megaBYTEs/sec connection that I routinely torrent files at 2 - 4 MB/s with.
