How to download FFXIV VU using a BT client

#1 Post by Kirakun »

Steps:
1. Load FFXIV App

2. Cancel the Download when it attempts to download - at this point the torrent files are on your PC

3. Close the FFXIV App

4. Go to the following directory
WINDOWS 7:
C:\Users\<Username>\My Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV\downloads\ffxiv\

WINDOWS XP:
Check the Documents and Settings\<Username>\My Documents for a similar folder above

5. In the ffxiv folder should be 1-2 folders in alphanumeric gibberish

6. Go into each folder's metainfo folder. You will find the torrent files there.

7. Load all the torrent files into your favorite BitTorrent App and download the files

8. Upon completion of the download, copy/move all the files back into Step #3's directories into their respective patch directory.

9. Run FFXIV App again.

10. The App should detect the patch files and perform a check followed by an installation of the files.
