4 days downloading the game at 200 / kb and 300 / kb, is the only game that I can not play since I can not download it.
From the moment you start to download it download the following games: NierAutomata, Black Desert, ffxiv, warframe, borderland 2, LOL and archeage to verify that my internet is not the problem or the distance.
I work in a hosting company and from the company try to download it with the same result
Which we have 1 gigabit fiber optic network.
I give up, I will try to play another game but I hope they solve it. Because it is difficult for new players to try to join if they present problems and just see post or look for some solution you find many more problems with the same problem.
How much space does the swtor folder use?
It may not be too long to finish
Sorry if I sound a little angry, I just want to play 😞

Currently my own SWTOR folder is sitting at a little over 39GB, and that should be the bare minimum being fully patched up. Once you've done the basic troubleshooting and made sure your connection is stable, there's not much we can do on our side to help download speeds sadly.
And sounding a little angry is completely understandable. Having to wait four days to download the game would definitely get to me as well. I've only had to download the game once (back when it was 25GB) on a mobile data dongle and it certainly wasn't a fun wait.
How is the download/installation looking now?

@EA_Kipling I think it's the last download, "english assets 1" and the bottom bar is full, hopefully

english asset 1 is one of the first files
Ensure there are exceptions for launcher.exe and brwc_swtor.exe in the antivirus and firewall exception lists
Just to confirm you are using a local DNS server ? as mentioned previously the swtor CDNs are GEODNS so depending on DNS server used can point you to a totally different download location and behave totally different speed wise based on ISP routing.
The CDNs are usually on footprint cdn servers
One test you can do is try a different DNS server even 8.8.8.8 being googles
Once the DNS server is changed you should clear the dns cache per directions below
open a command prompt as administrator and type the below
ipconfig /flushdns.
When you have done this correctly, you should see the message "Successfully flushed the DNS resolver cache".
