Disconnected from patching server before patching completed (2020-feb-20)

I have this issue for some time now. I cannot seem to compile and start downloading within the timeframe given by GGG. To me it looks like GGG could have:

1) to short time frame for the client to compile a list before download starts, in the Client.log the last 2 lines are:

2020/02/20 09:56:23 45460171 2c1 [INFO Client 11944] Queue file to download: Art/2DItems/Jewels/EternalEmpireCivilization.dds

2) to big a load on the patch server, could it be patching server and game server are the same?

I think a solution would be to have an offline install of PoE. At least for each season, so you only need the seasonal patching.

As of now, some of us are not able to even install the game let alone playing it.
