so yeah i;ve tried to download the game from the official downloader and every time it gets to about 3 seconds remaining on step 2/3 and it just sits there alternating between 3-6 seconds left. Tried restarting dl, restarting computer, pausing it, stopping and saving then resuming it. It just gets stuck at pretty much 99%. Someone help?  

Try closing any other programmes running at the time, especially any other downloads as these may interfere with the download. You can also try Vafx's unofficial download for shaiya, as this works just as well, and may help with any problems you're experiencing.
