Playing SWOTR in China
I recently decided to give SWOTR a go but am hesitant to buy out right and subscribe if I am going to have connectivity issues. While British I do live in China and often have these kinds of issues. ...

Before giving up on this issue, could I just ask as a hypothetical, what would happen if someone outside of China said if they use a VPN they get a login service unvailable and if they don't use it they get a cannot connect 208 error. What work arounds would you recommend in this situation. I really want this to work and I don't think it is a forgone conclusion as every other game I have had trouble with has eventually worked.
login unavailable is a communication error talking to launchpad.swtor.com
208 is usually either a communication error to manifest.swtor.com or cdn-patch.swtor.com
the launcher logs should indicate which.
My only suggestion is try a different VPN maybe strong vpn as an example.
So strongvpn worked, thanks for that. Unfortunately that nearly doubles my monthly subscription but I guess beggars can't be choosers. The problem I am now facing is insanely slow download speeds. I started downloading on Friday and I am at Main Assets 273 with 11.73GB to go. So... how many more things do I have to download before I am done? Was hoping to play by Wednesday night China time.
Also will the nov 8th server downtime prevent downloading?
Thanks

Usually the order goes: English Video -> Main Assets 1 -> Main Assets [Latest Patch Number] -> Retail Client. So you're on the second to last step. The Retail Client part should only be about 100MB, so hopefully you're not too far off!
