--- Comment #9 from Dan Kegel dank@kegel.com 2010-09-12 11:50:33 CDT --- winetricks winhttp helps, but I also have to do WINEDEBUG=+relay, else it gets stuck at "initializing network".
(It gets stuck also if I then redirect to /dev/null; piping to grep ws2_32 seems to make it happy.)
I have yet to successfully download, though; I've seen at most 2 "local connections" and 0 "remote connections". I seem to be suffering from the slow download problems described at http://ffxiv.zam.com/forum.html?game=268&mid=1282367905291145437&how... even on Windows, even with windows firewall turned off.
