Yea its a beast of a download. However can you just get the torrent instead and go about it that way? Have you tried getting this http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6650474 ... %5D_Client then running the install from there? It should help speed it up.

Although I have Comcast fastest internet available in my area. I noticed from time to time while downloading TOR, the download speed would drop dramatically 300-600kbps.. All I had to do is hit the pause button, then continue and the speed would go back to normal.

On my 64-bit OS its stored in C:/Program Files (x86)/Electronic Arts/BioWare/Star Wars - The Old Republic.
On 32-bit OS should be C:/Program Files/Electronic Arts/BioWare/Star Wars - The Old Republic.

I plan on multi-boxing TOR with 4 PC's. For copying the game, I backed up the entire C:/Program Files (x86)/Electronic Arts/BioWare directory to my external HDD. Copied it to the other pc's, then ran the installer for each one. Worked like a charm.
