Ff14 Patch Download Failing

For Final Fantasy XIV Online: A Realm Reborn on the PC, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'Patch Errors'. Unable to download patch files. [30413][20496] WoW. You can download the Windows® version of the FINAL FANTASY XIV game client from the following link. Cannot reinstall my game, every time I get around 45ish mb downloaded I get this error. Was forced to reinstall due to the fact the game suddenly decided it. The problem with reinstalling is that the My Documents/My Games/FFXIV folder remains the same. Delete that and not the program files one (save your screenshots first). Then run the game. Alternate Download (.torrent) for (8/23/13) patch. I think you're saying is that you used the torrent for the pre-early access patch and want to now use this new.

Ff14 Patch Download Failing Version

I have been trying to install the game for about 4-5 hours now and it keeps giving me an error message saying unable to download. I've probably logged in 20-25 times now and still have another 100 minutes to go? Really about to give up....
It says 'Unable to download patch files. [30413] [25008] [20495]'
Are there other ways to download this game other than thru the client?
I tried to go and post on the tech forums but receive this message (which is actually entertaining)
Since the valid character data is not present on your Square Enix Account, you are not allowed to log in to the forums.
Even if the monthly fee is paid and a valid content ID is available, a valid character data needs to be present. Once the character is created, you will be eligible to log in to the forums. However, it may take some time until the character data is reflected to the system.

Blocking out any new player by not letting someone having issues install post on the tech forums.
Quick edit - i've tried running as adminstrator, i've reset router and modem, i've tried flushing dns, i've restarted my cpu.
Any other suggestions?
