LOTRO patch installer has been running for way over an hour, and its no where near 1/5 comletion. I have been using the disc, which only took fifteen minutes to install! What can I do? I'm a teenager, have about 3 or 4 hours until its time to turn the laptop off. Last resort is to leave it on overnight, but my parents don't want that. It's got to about 3700/27000 in an hour and a bit, so please help :(

What can we do? There isn't any single way to make it go faster other than buying a brand new computer with higher specs, unless it is a known problem in which case you will have already typed "Slow LOTRO installation" into google, wouldn't you? Edit: Whipped.

Nothing you can do but wait.

I installed LOTRO in January and I started the update before going to bed. It was finished when I woke up so I can't tell you how long it took but I knew it was a big update.
