I'm too old school, recommended I re-install...

I was hoping for this, the first time 30GB destroyed my Internet for a couple of days

It's not that bad... and I say that as someone coming from a country what puts a severe limit on bandwidth used per month on their interwebs.

I've already had to reinstall the beta like 4 times (5 times come December 8 when the new month starts for my internet connection) already...

Better to have the final version of the game installed before the early access or launch period (depending on which one you'll get in with) rather than waiting on the day and watching the download speed on the client, wishing it'd go faster.
