Keeps looping at update 5-7% "Downloading required planet data..."

I'm having some trouble making the game update. It gets stuck at 5, 6, 7% and just loops back to check for updates.

All I want to do is log in once so the character progression is saved.

EDIT Rebooting helped.
It was looping in time with the rolling text in launcher and trottled at 2-400 kb/s instead of my usual (slow) 5-7mb/s.

It automagically worked.
