I'm at 63% with like 9 hours left :(

I read Ket's post but I don't understand it. I've never used any torrent stuff. Anyone have gtalk who wants to talk me through it? Or who can maybe call me?!

Ok, I got all the small ones. The one big file.... I got it to 63% with the ffxiv downloader. In utorrent it's starting the download all over again. How do I get it to resume from 63%? Maybe I screwed it up >.>

You have to to tell uTorrent to save the torrent into the same folder the official downloader puts it in if you want it to resume.

If i recall correctly, tell it to download to the folder that contains the "d3081232" (or something) folder.

Though you might have finished by now, just incase, and for others who do this, a helpful hint:

Finish the last 1-5% or so in the official downloader, not uTorrent, it'll be faster. The problem is that SE's servers (seeds) seem to reject connections if it's not the official downloader, and no non-SE person will seed because the official downloader disconnects the moment the game is downloaded.

Make sure you tell uTorrent to remove the download (remove, not delete!) and then quit uTorrent and start up the game again so the official downloader gets the last couple percent.
