If you started with just the NCSoft installer from the web-page, you'll need to download around 3.2gigabytes of data.
If you just simply updated a pre-existing install, you may only need to download a few hundred megabytes of packages.
i started downloading trial thing from ncsoft does that mean it is gonna take a long time?

Given that you'll need to download all 3.2gigabytes... that's a safe presumption to make.

hmm well thanks.
If it says "fixing" I would presume the patch has already been downloaded and that this is the "install" phase that's running (also slow, depending on your comp's speed, but generally faster than the timer would indicate).
Dec out.

Nah, usually when it says "Fixing: <file>" It's normally downloading.|

Best bet is to just let it run overnight and hope it finishes...it does take an obnoxiously long time to download the game sometimes. But future patches are much smaller and should apply in minutes not hours. The only thing that might take a little longer are the big updates, but they typically have a pre-download before they officially go live so you can grab them over a period of days in little chunks.
