1. Download a bittorrent client - www.bittorrent.com/
install it with default settings and associate it with torrent files.
2. Run the patcher, if you see it saying initializing network in red there's a boot patch(pathcer), if it's blue it's a game client update, let it start downloading for like 1% progress then close the patcher and go to next step.
3. go to My Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Version\downloads\ffxiv-beta
in here you'll see 2 folders bca2a8ae(boot updates) and d96437e6(game updates)
4. Make sure the client is closed for this next step.
if you have a red patch go in the bca2a8ae folder into metainfo, the latest dated file is the current patch(ex. D2010.09.05.2000.torrent) double click the file, and it should open up in the bittorrent client and it should ask you where you want to download it to, point it to "My Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Version\downloads\ffxiv-beta"
if it's a blue patch repeat the same but with the d96437e6 folder.
5. once the files are downloaded, remove the files from the bittorrent client status window(don't delete from disk), and open up the FFXIV launcher, it should no go directly to 100% and patch, repeat this method for every patch (when it shows initializing network) untill the login prompt shows.
install it with default settings and associate it with torrent files.
