Infinite loop downloading patch

Infinite loop downloading patch

I just downloaded and installed The Witcher 2 on my Win7 machine. I started the game and entered the activation key. It then began to download a patch. I left it alone and it is still going and seems to be repeatedly downloading the exact same file in an infinite loop. What I see in the launcher window is:

Connecting to server
Downloading Patcher_ATARI.exe
Download progress bar (9052KB file, downloading at ~1-2MB/s speed)
Verifying: Patcher_ATARI.EXE

This has been happening for 2-3 hours now. I've tried restarting my machine, running as admin but nothing is changing. It just keeps downloading the same Patcher_ATARI.EXE over and over.

The same thing keeps happening to me. Have you found a solution?

Thanks for the response. However, the links you provided are dead.

But, I found an alternative. Went to http://en.thewitcher.com/patch1-3/ and manually downloaded the Patch 0 -> Patch 1.3 link and it seemed to work.
