SW TOR:
Trying to login for several months with no success (a few months ago i just gave up due to the error, but now friends want to play the new expansion, so i have renewed interest).
I get an error message after the launcher tries for a minute to log in: "Unable to retrieve patch data. please check network connection (208)" .
I have no issues playing other games, both online and offline, so it isnt my graphics card or internet connection. I have also recently moved house, so the error was at my old residence, and now also at my current residence.
I have un installed the game, and re installed it, with no success. i have removed it from my firewall and then re added the exception.
The error started around October/November last year. I was playing the game fine until Onslaught came out (new expansion) then when i went to play that, i havent been able to log in since- there have been no changes to my computer also, which, for all these reasons, makes me doubt its an issue with my computer/connection.
Any help would be appreciated,
Username: Culby.
Thanks!

208 is a communication issue talking to either manifest.swtor.com or cdn-patch.swtor.com
usual causes are antivirus and/or firewall or a net routing issue but it would be highly unlikely to still be occurring after several months
some common issues known are
