Trouble Patching on New Computer

Hey, I originally downloaded this game onto my old computer, and i just got a new alienware m14x and im stoked to play it on it but once the game downloads and i enter my cd key, it starts patching. But once its patching it seems like it completes the patch, but then it starts downloading (to me it looks like the same thing because it still is downloading a 9052 KB file) the same thing again. I let this run for like 20 minutes but nothing changed. Idk what to do and is this because you can only have it on one computer? I need help soon because i leave for vacation and I want it installed to i can play it on the way there. So any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

How to manually patch the game
1. get the patch(es) first and foremost doesn`t matter in what order just as long as you have the ones you want or need . all versions of the patches are here http://en.thewitcher.com/patch1-3/
2. disconnect from the internet
3. install the game
4. close the launcher or cd-key registration
5. apply patches in order
6. retry the game
7. reconnect to the internet
8. if you are running less than the 1.3 patch it may be beneficial to run the game from the witcher2exe found in the bin folder of the game directory
