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
I'm having the same problem since yesterday. I followed all the suggestions in this thread but nothing worked. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=636314
I'm super sad this is happening now, because I had planned to spend these next days leveling my final characters before 12x disappears! Very frustrating that this has been an issue for ages and nobody found a proper solution. I guess I'll just have to wait it out.
Error 208 is mostly an issue talking with either manifest.swtor.com or cdn-patch.swtor.com
The solution really comes down to the cause , if AV or Firewall , or as that link you had , last page was an incorrect proxy setting, all these things have the same affect the patcher fails to download.
This doesn't need to be an issue at your end, as issues on the internet can have the same outcome, and why one person mentioned in that thread he waited till morning and it all worked again.
Most times if this is net caused a VPN is workaround until it comes good on its own
Edit - if one person is posting about 208 then its usually local, if a reasonable number get it at the same time then its likely a Net issue.
Also from the Netherlands and glad to see im not the only one so i really hope this will be fixed on it's own soon.
This is also a relevant thread for Ziggo/UPC users
