It's because they're located in South America, the only server atm. Literally the farthest place from most people in the world, and worst internet in the world. So unless you're a BR who lives down the street, it might take awhile to get on stable, or even get the launcher to get to patch. The best part of it is, attempting to patch and failure to keep connection to the servers...in my case, I'm up in Canada with a very good internet connection, but either way, I had to try patching a good 10 times, each time it corrupts the launcher forcing you to reinstall the whole thing again.
