Runes of Magic US / AU

I am curious why the download speeds are so horrible? Updates take hours instead of minutes. I was having texture issues and you have a post saying here is the manual download of the client. I looked into doing that but if you do not pay the company you can expect 8 hours per file, 10 files long so you are expecting 80 hours of continuous downloads??????
I mean come on I can download a blue-ray disk faster than that. Is this all related to the horrible lag in sieges? Are there plans to get real servers instead of these supposed servers the game is on now?
Sorry for the post but I had a lot of time on my hands waiting on 1 small patch.

It was the 5.5 client files, not the patches and I am on 25M cable. Every other MMORPG these type updates take minutes. I had to go from 5.5 (after I let that new client thing get the files)to the 6.0 and it took over 2 hours. But as for their Alt download sites at the 5.5 client link they say "Average download time in regular mode: 437 minutes, in Gold mode - 12 minutes" That is directly from the depositfile link and the other was not any better.
But all in all why would an update take hours instead of minutes? Guildwars 1 or 2 less than 5 minutes for any update, Diablo less than 10 minutes. for a couple examples. I had a couple guild wars 2 once during release take 30 minutes because they had a bottleneck and they fixed iit and all went well. This is the only game that I know of that needs hours to update.
