Hiya, and welcome to PlaneShift :)
It\'s a lot easier for us to reply to you and for you to reply to us using the forums, instead of emailing - since all the people with the ability to help you will have all the detail availble to them right here.
First thing first: have you used bittorrent before, and are you familiar with how it works? The download time depends on how many seeders (people who are sharing the file you need) are available. If only a few people are on, the progress will be much slower than if the amount of seeders was larger. All downloads also depend on your net speed - and as the PlaneShift client is a very large file, using dial-up will of course be slower than with DSL or cable.
Maybe you should try using one of the mirrors instead?
