Pulling the plug was a last resort... I waited over four hours for it to finally end the program and shut down. Yes its plugged into a surge protector...
(slightly off topic: many places say that those things don't protect anything at all, that, if a power surge comes, your stuff will still get fried. The only purpose it serves me is extra outlets.
)
I tried the power button the first time, it did nothing. I'll try it again now. Thanks for your patience, everyone,
*edit*
Alright, I held the button in for like 10 seconds, and ti just shut off, suddenly. How is that different than unplugging it from the wall...? It was the same effect. However, I didn't know I could do that, and I appreciate it.
And this is a pc, no administrator. The task manager bit did nothing as well, I know that little trick.
I ran the updater after it started back up again, and still no new updates. Only one update for me.
What else should I do before trying to run the client again...?

Because it won't reboot with these programs open. My computer can't end them. control alt delete/alt+4 doesn't work iether.
Edit, I go to start ...> restart, and it just does nothing. THis is what it did the first time I ran the PS client - after waiting for four hours for it to reboot, I had to unplug my pc from the wall.

No. I know I probably should have rebooted after the installation, but it wasn't listed in the advice in this thread so I didn't do it, I told you, I followed your advice to a T. How do I end this program without having to unplug my pc from the wall...? There are two of them open now.

I ran it several times, but it only updated once. The consequent times it said no more updates were available.
I can't end the program. Not even shutting down my pc is making this program end, I'm going to have to unplug my pc frmo the wall.
Why is this happening...? This can't happen again, not even once, because my pc has been fried atleast four times, all with very expensive repair costs, because of having to manually turn off my computer too often and various parts of it getting fried.

Alright, MUCH MUCH appreciated all. I'm going to try all this right now, following this advice religiously. 
Edit: Think I figured it out
The updater downloaded a temp folder and a few zipped folders into my PS folder. What do I do with these?
*edit*
Alright, I got the updater to work properly... and now I ran the client, and it froze again.

So nobody can play PS right now? If so, how often does this sort of thing happen?
Thanks ALOT for all this info, all.

What's a 'client'?
Second:
And in the thread regarding the manual patch, it said specifically to unzip the patch files into your PlaneShift folder. Was this misinformation?

Well, after finally figuring out how to get the installer to download.
The updater doesn't work at all, so I looked around, and found the manual patch I was supposed to downoad, tried unzipping it and it tries to replace files, which is fine, but then it asked me for a password...?
Oh, and I get ahead of myself. I tried running it without updating it or anything, and it froze. I had unplug it from the wall to get it off, not even shutting my computer down would end that program.

My BitLord had the same problem, and now, with Azureus its working. Much appreciated!
I think, after my last Bitlord torrent file finishes that I will be uninstalling it.
