why is impule taking forever to update?

sigh.  Impusle will not let me update Sins, or entrenchment.  All it does is tell me "downloading impulse update." but that's taking forever. it stopps at 99.7% and then just sits there. I've reloaded it, io've taken it out of the sysytem. I am very frustrated!  HELP  It did this with the beta  also. Im so pissed

Agreed.  Impulse stinks.  I paid for for Entrenchment and as of yet still can't dowload it.  Support requests and tickets don't get a timely response either (meaning I get automated reposnses but no human ones).  Other services, like Steam, are far superior.

One more day and I think I'll give up and find better things to spend my money on.

It sounds like something is interfering with the download such as antivirus/antispyware/firewall software. Try adding an exception for Impulse.exe to this kind of software if you have any installed. If this does not help, try temporarily disabling this type of software and then try again. Be sure to re-enable after you have tried Impulse. SpyBot and Ad-Aware are especially troublesome with Impulse.

Ebonawit, I do not see a support ticket under your email address. Do you have any support ticket ID numbers?

I had the same thing happen to myself.    Mine was getting stuck at 88.9% as well with a constant retry message.   I finally took Impulse right off my system, downloaded it again, reinstalled and it worked.    This worked for me and hopefully will work for you BiggGee.    It should not have to be this way but at least it worked.
