Game is running and I can connect just fine from Germany.

Where are you from? Maybe something on your way to hungary is broken?

Client is probably corrupted.

One trick I've found really useful, is after each patch download, to copy the perp file to a different folder. Then when this happens, just copy it back and overwrite the old one, without having to wait for another download.

I also recommend this for players with multiple accounts, download once for patch, then copy it to the other folders to save time.

Well, I had had an extremely frustrating time downloading the client initially. It would freeze at random points during the download. Sometimes less than a MB, sometimes it would get 5, 10, (rarely 20) MB. I even let it sit overnight. I ended up having to ctrl-alt-delete and kill the updater every time it froze, and it took about 6 hours total.

So, thinking maybe that was the reason I've been crashing and having other problems, I just uninstalled and started downloading again. It's doing the same thing now.

Well, when it *does* connect I get 1MB/sec speeds sometimes. I have to keep the Task Manager open and just kill the uploader every few seconds when it hangs.
