Oh ok thanks, I thought I was going insane. I once lived somewhere (Indiana) that didn't participate in Daylight Savings Time like the rest of the timezone and I've been semi-confused ever since.

Stupid stupid stupid beta installer. It requires 12 GB on the drive that contains the My Documents folder. That is super *** gay. What about those of us who only have a 15 gig partition for our window's install and and related files and the rest on another partition? Ah, i hate this.

Umm... with file sizes these days, I wouldn't recommend anything below 60GB for a OS drive.

Fair enough, my computer was hand assembled in 2004, so its outdated as ***. 350Gigs cost me $110. I'm just now getting around to ramping it back up

Wouldn't you think they would put the client installer back up? Not that it matters to me, but you know, for those people that didn't get it (poor souls ... have to sit through that horible update >.>)

When my laptop came in (250GB), I simply split it in half for OS/Data. My desktops at home have 500GB HDs in them. I can't remember what I set for the OS partition size, but I have 2 1TB external HDs for data storage.

Makes sense until the part where it went back down, lol.

Edit: If it comes back up, let me know. I'd like to link to it as a mirror.

Spent all night downloading files. Now I'm sitting here with the following on my desktop:

1. Shortcut to FINAL FANTASY XIV BETA VERSION
2. Folder with the following:
ffxiv-beta->bca2a8ae->metainfo/vercheck.dat/patch->D2010.08.30.2000
->d96437e6->metainfo/vercheck.dat/patch->H2010.08.30.2000

Can anyone tell me step by step what to do?

If you downloaded the beta client yesterday from the FFXIV website, you will need the updates listed under 'open beta client'.

If you downloaded .RAR file yesterday that was posted in the other thread (and linked from my site), then you will need the 'closed beta client' updates.
I downloaded it from flion's website and updated it once overnight on Sunday -> Monday.
I still need that latest update tho right (the 8/30 ish one that wouldn't download)
My location is: C:\Users\Krizz\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Version\downloads\ffxiv-beta

You'll have two folders. Each one has a metainfo and patch folder. Metainfo has the torrents. Patch has the actual patch files. See which you have a torrent for but not a patch. Then you can download the patch from my site and drop it into the correct folder.
