errorcode 208
so yeah, trying to open up SWTOR, got this error code. tried lowering my firewall and still got the code. http://manifest.swtor.com/patch/patcher2014.patchmanifest did not work either, and https:/...

I used the basics of the tutorial and got it working without the whole workaround. It was indeed a leftover from the previous fix that was applied, and a quick download of the launcher and booting it was enough to set it streight. ^^ thanks for the help.
Could you elaborate a little? What did and didn't you do? Because I downloaded (and ran) the launcher repair twice now and it didn't fix a thing.
Im also having the same problem, in the launcher is say's : Unable to retrieve patch data (208)
Error 208 if not a Antivirus cause is usually an inability to talk to manifest or the CDN
As the OP found clicking on http://manifest.swtor.com/patch/patcher2014.patchmanifest in a web browser should prompt to download a small file but it failed.
The failure in the web browser is also why the launcher fails
These sorts of cases if net caused come good on their own
