Depending on location download rate may not be super fast but it is worthwhile the wait in my opinion.
can you confirm that the windows service called BItraider mini-support service Stub loader is running
Thanks for your reply. I closed and launched the launcher again and now it's downloading normally. Restarted it once again to be sure and it seems to be downloading normally for now.
Btw, I think I'm using the streaming launcher (this is the first time I'm downloading the game, hence it says "Minimum Download in Progress"). Is it possible for me to switch to the non-streaming launcher? Is the non-streaming launcher better?

Thanks @proxos666
Any cons of using the non-streaming launcher as such? I read somewhere that new players who are playing for the first time HAVE TO use the streaming launcher. Is this true?
No cons really , the game install I have is from 2012 and been moved to 3 different hard drives simply by copying the entire game folders across and creating a new shortcut to launcher.exe
Like I said some say download is slower then streaming , but once the initial gamedownload is done , its great at patch time .
Way it works is the web setup defaults to streaming , if you have DVDs it defaults to non streaming , the directions I posted simply make it like the DVD installer.
