So I've been downloading the beta client for about 36hrs. Last night I estimated that it would be done around 6am. At 5am I was awoken by my PC restarting. When I got up it looked like it had crashed. I tried firing up the beta client and I get 1 of the following 2 errors:
I tried running the installer again but it attempts to uninstall the software which I do not want to do at risk of having to spend another 36hrs downloading files again. Has anyone else run acrosss this? I'm going to wait until tonight on the chance that it's just a matter of the servers being overloaded since everyones DLs are probably finishing around the same time.
Also, here is a puzzler. My DL client was upping at about 200K the whole time, but DLing maybe an average of 70K. If everyones client is doing this, where is all the extra upload going?
I got home from work about an hour ago and I was still having the same problem. I started researching the issues I was having. I found some others with the same issue but a lot of them were convinced (perhaps it was the case for them) that the patch server was down and that's why they were getting the message. I checked http://www.ffxiv-status.com/ and the patch server was up, so that didn't seem to be my issue. With little other recourse I decided to try the uninstall reinstall process. Thankfully this seems to have "reset" the patching process without losing my previous progress, at least it seems that way. It has begun downloading a series of 6 patches now, which I read others mention. Here's hoping this doesn't take too long.
Stephen Seehorn just emailed me the other day with a revised English language patch for Madou Monogatari for the Sega Game Gear. This patch addresses all the know bugs from the bug report thread and is confirmed 100% working to the ending, minus only the ending credits. It's possible we may polish the script a bit in the future, but we are considering this a complete patch. Enjoy!
Also, the Final Fantasy XIV open beta has been rescheduled for this evening. You may be downloading the beta installer still from last night. Mine should finish the first file sometime in the early morning. In the meantime you may register at the Beta Test Application Page this evening.

So all you poor souls who were not invited to the closed beta (me included) have a chance to possibly try out the game and see if it really runs as badly on your PCs as the benchmark makes it out to. I can't quite tell if it will be 11pm or 10pm tonight due to daylight savings.
EDIT: Apparently it has been postponed but it seems like the installer is still available for download.
Also, I just looked up a youtube video of the song "Fude pen boru pen" from K-ON!! with translated lyrics. The footage is really well assembled. I'd never really understood the song before and I thought it was kind of sweet. It reminded me of a letter or two I'd gotten from a girl from Japan back in the day and I wondered how she'd felt writing them. Not the same I'm sure.
