Hallo again EA
It is still stuck, after I removed Bitraider folder.
Should I try the other solution or is it my connection?

I had the same issue, and after following Raidell's instructions for disabling Bitraider, it did re-download the entire game. While I found it completely asinine that the entire game had to be re-installed just from disabling BR, it is not all that surprising considering their history. We'll see how this solution works in the long term...
To clarify, step #3 needs the two items in bold to be updated in the "launcher.settings" file to read as:
- , "PatchingMode": "{ \"swtor\": \"SSN\" }"
- , "bitraider_disable": true
- These are the steps I usually post for making the changes to remove bit raider:
right mouse click on game shortcut and select open file location
open the launcher.settings file in notepad and locate the below line and edit to the below
, "PatchingMode": "{ \"swtor\": \"SSN\" }"
, "bitraider_disable": true
SAVE the changes.
Delete the BitRaider, Movie and Asset folders then start the launcher.
If you have only deleted the BitRaider folder you may need to go also delete the Movie and Assets folder as well.
Also you can add Swtor.exe and launcher.exe to your anti-virus and firewall safe / exceptions list in case they are blocking or deleting files.- Approved
Hi again....
I tried to ignore the game for a week.
And now the laucher doesn't even pop up, but I can still see it in Task Manager.
I deleted bitraider folder and did what you asked.
Nothing happens.
it is really annoying that I now only have the option to re-download the game, which I don't have data for.

Run the launcher repair utility found here:
http://answers.ea.com/t5/STAR-WARS-The-Old-Republic/GUIDE-Launcher-Troubleshooting/m-p/4805820#2
Try to run again. If you have removed bitraider as I described above, run a repair if it won't download:
Non-Streaming launcher - Log into the launcher but don't click Play. Check for small letters "ST" in the bottom left corner. If this is NOT present, With the new launcher after login , select the username pull down on the top right and select settings, then press repair.
