SWTOR Launcher, inconsistent speeds
A few weeks ago the SWTOR launcher stopped downloading as fast as it used to and started to start at higher speeds then eventually go down to lower speeds (From several mbps to kbps) and pausing and ...

Just to confirm you setup the firewall for both launcher.exe and swtor.exe?
Try to do this and see if it patches faster. Also remember today is 4.0 early access so a lot of people will be patching today:
1. Run the launcher and log in.
2. Open the task manager on your computer (shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+Esc).
3. Select the Processes tab. On Windows 7, sort by image name and look for any starting with "br", they should be listed as belonging to Bitraider in the description column. In Windows 8.1, scroll down to the Background Processes and look for any Bitraider listings. Right click and end them. Don't worry if they come back.
4. Select the Services tab. In Windows 7, click on the button in the lower right corner that says Services. In 8.1, click the link at the bottom that says Open Services.
5. In the Services window, sort the list by the Name column, and look for BitRaider Mini-Support Service. Right click on it and select properties.
6. On the General tab, about halfway down, there should be a dropdown menu that says Startup type. Make sure it is set to "Automatic". Hit Apply the OK.
7. Close the Services window, the task manager, and the game launcher. Then restart the entire computer.
8. When computer has restarted, run the launcher and log in. The download process should now start properly.
Steps should be the same for Windows 10, let me know how it goes.
The firewall has been setup for both of those correct.
After applying the fix the launcher still wildly flucuates from something like 10kbps to 9mbps depending on its mood (Though it does seem to hover around 150kbps more often now)
Im aware its 4.0 launch but this was going on for a few weeks now + earlier today before the patch came out so im not sure its just server loadDo you know if your using the streaming or non-streaming launcher?
When your on the launcher it will say ST on the bottom somewhere? If so it's possible it's a bit raider issue that's causing the delay. Let me know if you see ST anywhere.
There was a ST there earlier in the day but after rebooting for the firewalls the ST isnt there anymore oddly enough
