Problem with patching open beta client! Stuck! Stuck! Stuck!

Not sure everybody having this issue when patching the open beta client! It will always stuck in like 94.6% or 94.8% zzz...

For people who still don't know what to do with this, try this following method.

You will need a torrent software(any type). I am using bittorrent.

1. Go to your own folder >My Documents >My Games >FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Version >downloads >ffxiv-beta (my OS is Win XP not sure if it is the same for all OS)

2. You will see 2 folder "bca2a8ae" and "d96437e6".

Select "bca2a8ae" if the patch is for boot software and select "d96437e6" if the patch is for the game client software.

How to know which software is the patch for:
You can differentiate but looking at the background colour of the patcher of FFXIV program - Red for Boot Software and Blue for game client software.

3. After the selection, you will see METAINFO folder and PATCH folder. Go into the METAINFO folder.

4. Inside the folder you will find the torrent file here and in the format of DYYYY.MM.DD.XXXX torrent. Look for the correct torrent and just double click on it to start the downloading(if you already have the torrent program). You can use the above methods for both type of software and it is faster than using the original(that's how i feel haha).

5. After the downloading, just copy the downloaded version and paste it into the PATCH folder instead of the METAINFO folder.

6. Relaunch your FFXIV beta program and it will start patching again!! =D

That's all i have!!
