whats the diffenrence.. tell me... (dont ignore just answer)

Today I downloaded the Full game in zip (3.9Gb) then when i open the game it requires me to download it before i log in....but that one is too slow ... even my internet is fast ...1% is equivalent to 10-20mins of waiting... but i thought .. its complete/Full and dont need that process.. and i thought that if i pick the 3.9gb to download.. i can play it after i patch it just in the launcher....

so tell me... whats really the difference of downloading the 99.6MB Client , the 1.5Gb Full size installer.exe , and the 3.9gb Full size Installer.zip while it has the same process that when you open the game even the 3.9 GB zip.. it start downloading in game/ in log in screen. Honestly its annoying..

I want to play this badly... so please tell me .. im not angry or something.. i just want someone to explain to me clearly .. y its like that...and tell me what to do.... i hope for good response TY

Its the amount of downloading that needs to be done after you open the game.

The Zip files actually has most basic files already. In fact, with the full installer, it might be possible to log in and wander around rift already.

That said, the client will be stuck at the updating, instead of opening program to log in screen.
