Unable to connect to patching server

Hi, I understand that the patching servers might be having problems (as indicated above), however I even went out of my way to download a full torrent of the patched client thanks to folks on reddit.

I have the fully patched client and all I need to do is login, but I've just been getting "Unable to connect to patching server" for the last several hours.

I have tried:

* Run as Administrator
* Disabling Windows Firewall
* Removing my router (direct connect to modem)

This is a fresh install of Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate with no extra firewall or antivirus software.
Just a thought, but if the registry keys are kept on the torrent, then it won't be able to be used by multiple people. i doubt it's the problem but i suggest trying to patch the official downloaded client just incase.
Unfortunately I tried patching the official client for the first 4 hours and it has never connected.
Having similar problems. Whenever I open the application I am given a message: "Unable to connect to the patching server" I feel like I've tried everything. I'm a mac user using an unofficial version. I'm desperate!!
Same problem, but I've been playing since July 2012 :\
I played yesterday, then tried getting on today and I got this error. I tried port forwarding like they said in another thread, but that didn't work. That, or I did it wrong. If someone could give a step by step processes on how to port forward PoE, that would be great.

Someone please help!!!
same problem.
just want to patch yesterday and continue this morning.
yesterday there was no problem but today, unable to connect to the patching server :/
same problem here, yesterday everything worked ok, today unable to connect patching server
Right click on your client and add --patching-server pathofexile.com:3724 to your target launch box, at the end it should look something like this "C:\Program Files (x86)\Grinding Gear Games\Path of Exile\PoE.exe.exe" --patching-server pathofexile.com:3724


hope this helps!
