On Mobile Hotspot - Patcher progress resetting

I noticed this on league start as well, as I used the torrent, then the ~900ish mb that was left to patch while patching on my phone's mobile hotspot, it would progress and then regress, almost as if it failed to download an entirety of a portion of a file within the content.ggpk or got interrupted and then it reset. I think on league start I spent at least 3 times the bandwidth patching the 900mb due to these resets, and now that I am attempting to patch today's patch, it is doing the same thing around the 30% mark. It goes up to around 30%, then it will reset to 21%, still using bandwidth. I would record it to show what it is doing, but I do not have the capability.

Is this new technology with the patcher to continue patching instead of disconnecting the patcher when there is a hiccup? It used to kick off/drop as soon as there was a slight bit of communication loss, but haven't seen that much this league.

I only have a 3mbps DSL connection normally, which is realistically not enough to patch the game in a timely manner nor play without latency that's not detrimental to character survival, so I use my hotspot to average a 5-10mbps fairly stable connection outside of getting booted when it jumps towers and my ip address changes as I cannot enforce static IP with my phone.

Just in the typing of this post, it increased to 32%, and regressed to 25%.

Just curious if anyone else has seen the same. It's increased my normal patch time by 2-3 times as well as using additional bandwidth out of my limited plan.

*edit*

I have been trying to download the final 186.59 mb of the patch for almost an hour and a half now, each time the patcher getting to around 60% it continues to reset all the way down to 8%. I have tried restarting the patcher for it to do the same thing each time.

*edit 2*

Another 40 minutes, highest it has gotten is 80% and continually resetting, varying from 55%, to 40%, to 47%. At this point this is just a waste of my bandwidth. In all my years of playing, it has never been an issue to patch the game using my phone. My DSL is currently out as well, so I can't even try to patch the game with my regular ISP.

This is still happening every time I patch. Varying success on completing them. Today I've had the client portion reset 6 times at least. Still trying to patch.

Can someone from GGG at least comment and say if there was a configuration change in the patcher that handles packet volatility that's causing this?

Forgot Windows has built in capture.

This is only good for 2 days because I'm too lazy to get an account.

It appears there are some things about data failing in the client log, but I am unaware if it is safe to just post. The total for mine is like 548mb lol, but I got it open and saw several instances. It says that there were client warnings, but I only saw 1 in about 10 instances of trying to patch, despite what the log said.
