Elemental Forums
I am trying to update elemental but patch status become Retrying at ~55% and go up very very slow and now it stuck at 73.4% for an hour and it become error. There are other people posting the same problem on the patch thread but no one seem to know why.
I also have a similar issue, but I am only getting the retrying on all of the computers that have elemental installed.
I have 5.38mb, 6.93mb, 4.65mb, and 4.83mb of the 9.43mb download, all of the computers are my personal property, mostly for software development & testing.

Well since you reply i have checked everyone's profile that have the same problem and it seems that all of us are from Australia.
interesting, and my updates have hit 6.93mb or 73.5%.
which isp are you with?
I use supernerd.

I have same issue. Update gets to 4.52MB and gets stuck. cancelled a few times no go. Can we get the patches somewhere else? I am in NZ so not aussie like teh post above,.
chugasrevenge, the ONLY location for the update IS impulse .
and as you are also useing the cross pacific fibres they might be the point of failure, but we are posting on the forum which is also in north america, so that buggers that idea, and my downloads are STILL at 73.5%

TPG ADSL2+
Confirmed. 
Stalled at 6.93Mb. I'm using Westnet as my service provider.
I was also thinking maybe is the fibers but then all the US site are fine and we all stuck at 73.5%. Stardock didn't even bother to reply. >.>
well, it IS approx 1 to 2 am for them, so I can understand SOME desire to sleep, but this is odd behaviour.

nayphen also from Australia but got the update, also BoogieBac said there is a hot fix coming up very soon.
Same issue here as noted above. Eventually I get to 75%, but then encounter an 'error' and it halts the update.
I'm in New Zealand and I can't make it past 48%
Sad on us antipodeans
apparently the hotfix is up as the subversion number on the update changed from 1.06.18 to 1.06.19

Btw a new updated is up, is now 9.46MB in totally and it should restart but i still stuck at 5.72MB in the new one. ><
Try pausing the download, then click resume. That sometimes jump starts it. For those of you in Australia, there's two servers down under in Perth and Sydney. However, it's possible that the data is still syncing across the network.
I might go back and play some CIV4 FFH and wait a week or two more on this one.
No more pre ordering a stardock game for me.
I downloaded only 5.72mb before it went to retrying, also tried the pause wait a few seconds then resume, but no dice, just retrying. will leave the comps to download while I go & fix some customer problems

The new update works perfect to begin with, but again crawls to a halt at 5.72mb. I've attempted the pause/resume and cancel/resume options, but nada. Cheers for the update on the server issue Yarlen, sounds like that may be behind it.
Same issue, need to drop this impulse crap as soon as they can. At least steam actually works.
Bullshit, it's 10 MB, and it's been HOURS.
Thanks for the info. Nice to know someone is monitoring things through your night-time. 
Is there any way we can bypass the Sydney server and load directly from the USA? Something ain't right.
I've cancelled the download and started again. Now stalling at 5.71Mb.
Tried this - not working still. In Oz as well.
