strange....i tried just that and it didn't work....the pigg files are in the directory but the updater still downloads them. I had updated to I13, not sure why it is redownloading...the piggs appear as documents instead of "unix executable files" and i tried using a perl script i googled to find to remove some information, but no such luck

not a big deal, i guess, i can wait for the download

Remove CoH.checksum

[/ QUOTE ]

for those who are trying to do this, this was what had to be done, thanks for the tip!

So, if you've started the download and then find this thread, copy the piggs over then remove the coh.checksum file, restart the upgrader and you'll be all set

Just played an hour of villains and it works shockingly well, what a good job done! I reactivated for this

Please tell me there is a faster way to download the files. i have the app installed but it is downloading the files at 98 K/sec. this is going to take all night at this rate. on a 300K/sec DSL.

If you happen to have a Mac which you've been Bootcamping to run COH, you should be able to cheat a bit on the size of the download.

First you download the Mac client from the site above. Don't run it yet, just put it in your applications folder. Then right (or ctrl) click it and show package contents.
Drill down to :
contents/Resources/transgaming/c_drive/coh/

Then go onto your Bootcamp partition and go into:
/Programs/City of Heroes
There will be a folder called piggs
This folder contains most of the bulky downloaded stuff such as graphics and sounds.

If you copy this file across from the partition to the Mac application location indicated above, it should speed up the launch appreciably as you will be spared downloading 2.7 GB of stuff.

Any way to do this once you've started... i'm staring at another 10 hours of download after an overnight start
