well for a start its a 20mb download, so if i can get it off a CD I will. (we dont all have broadband, and some that do have download limits)

more importantly I worked out how to do it, so I thought I would post it incase anyone else has this problem.

1. went to nwn homepage and clicked the patch links -> manual update link.
2. found out it's meant to be left in zip format.
3. worked out the correct naming system from the download links on that page.
4. followed the instructions listed there:
---a) put correctly named zip file in NWN base folder
---b) click on auto-update button
---c) the updater will find the patch and install it automatically, the same way it would do it normally, except the file is already downloaded.

and tada! game successfully patched
