Any official mind addressing this? I've already downloaded the patch 3 times. I gave up and went for the swtor pre-downloader to see how that will go, but it's quite a bit slower than the launcher at downloading...
After the second download finished and i got the error i shut down the launcher and copy-pasted the downloaded files, but recopying them into the swtor folder doesn't help with the download.

This isn't official EA support, this is a community driven (ie gamers helping gamers) technical self help forum so you won't get a Bioware employee answering questions directly here. The only problem I had was after I was playing 4.0, I stopped and next time I logged in the launcher kept hanging. Using task manager to kill bit raider solved that for me.

Fair enough... I was seeing some users tagged with EA replying on other threads and just assumed.
Anyway, I have bitraider disabled already. I went through my 4th iteration. I am now trying again after using the Fixlauncher.exe and using the old launcher since that seemed to help the OP.
Update: It didn't work. Even the old launcher gave an error, gave the option to repair and started redownloading the patch
I probably wasn't clear. I didn't mean that I could play right away after restoring the client to previous version. I let the old client patch up the game (The reference to low speed was actually to the old patcher download speed). After it patched the game, I could finally play.
As a side note, the download speed was fluctuating from ridiculous 40kb/s to 13mb/s on a 100 line. Oh and I didn't see Bitraider in Processes. Might have something to do with a fact that I have the game since launch and successive patches might have messed something out.
At first I though swtor unleashed messed things up, then I though maybe files are read only, I made sure that both directories, all three exe files and processes are in exception in (Windows) firewall and in antivirus (MS Security Essentials). Gave up and was about to made a clean reinstall (6 x 8gigs for nothing)...
I hope I'll be able to run the game tomorrow. :/
