I'm trying to log in at the moment, I've downloaded the newest launcher (as I've had to do the last couple of patches).

The launcher gets past character select (so I'm assuming the servers are back up?) and hangs on "waiting for downloads to finish"

Data downloaded 0/2980kb files 0/6

I am pretty sure it's not just a slow connection as I've restarted the patcher 4 times now, and the last time, I left it to run for a full half hour!

I will raise a support ticket if I can find the support site (! - support.istaria.com says it's down for maintenance?) but wondered if anyone else had any ideas?

I'm on Windows XP, and have been running Istaria for many years without issue...
