I am not sure yet if it's my computer or some new issue, but for the first time ever the update tool is freezing while downloading the update. First came to about 42% before having to kill the application, then trying again. It resumed the download and came to around 70% before crashing again. Next time it came to 94% before dying and after restarting it for the 4'th time it manages to download to 100%. After the download the game works just fine.

Maybe some problem iwth the server causing connections to time out?

Yeah, we're aware of the problem. Thanks for telling us. I wasn't sure of the extent of the problem.
