about however long it takes
about however long it takes you to download 350MB of data.
If you play directly off the site, just delete the entire C:\Users\Helot\AppData\LocalLow\spiral\ folder, restart your web browser, and use the "play" link to start the download again.

I'm gonna go with Draco here
I dunno if I should make a new thread since I'm pretty much havin' the same problem as the OP, but my game is basically redownloadin' itself again and again, and I can't seem to get into the actual game's log in screen.
I'm usin' the Steam version of the game, and I already uninstalled it, and reinstalled it, to no avail. Can someone aid the technologically incompetent here?

@Alphastevo: If you check
@Alphastevo: If you check the launcher.log file, its probably looping on one of the files. If its one of the txt files, then you have a proxy server interfering the with the patcher. You'll have to use proxify.com to retrieve the 2 files below.
