ftp://174.35.24.78/game or ftp://174.35.39.33/game go the link and download the launcher_113.bin files
Rename launcher_133.bin files to mabinogi.exe (make sure you have the hide extensions for known file types uncheck in your folder options under tools).
Go to your mabinogi directory should be C:\Nexon\Mabinogi and drop replace the mabinogi.exe and you launch the exe from there.
Should patch up nicely and no hassle.
Thanks to Aubog007 for providing the alternative IP address to ping and verify to Yoorah. I just take the IP Address from his thread and apply to my simpler fix.
I got to say, if he provided me with the link to it in the first place. There wouldn't be so much drama below the few post. Either way, I am glad nexon finally realized they abandon the ftp://mabipatch.nexon.net/ game server and updated with the new files after a whole 8 hours or so of hassle for the player. Definitely think they should cough up some compensation for the lost time. Overall it a learning experience for me.

This method work by using someone else working dll and launcher. Do note this only work with version r73 of the game. For future fix someone must upload a working number of dll.
I'm willing to provide a temp fix until their ftp server is freed up. This works (Jah can support me on this).
Use it if you like. This should fix the client.exe infinite loop ftp thing you guys may have. This uses a patcher bypass pretty much to get around the stuck patcher window due to their ftp being locked up.
Warning:
-BACKUP the original files, because a good number of files will be replaced. Just in case it doesn't work, you can roll back to the original data.
-The patcher bypass uses a shortcut that skips over the whole Mabinogi patcher window, which is handy, but it'll only work if your game is patched to the right version, else you'll just get a 'Server cannot be reached' error.
Steps:
-Download Mabinogi_R74_Fix.zip (http://www.mediafire.com/?15bukdac241af1v) contains all the data that was updated as of Patch74, download it, backup the original files, and replace all the files in your main mabi folder (should be C:/Nexon/Mabinogi). Most of them go into the main nexon folder. Don't override your version folder just move the version file to your version folder. Yes, you will be replacing your client.exe.
-Time to make the bypass. I provided a shortcut.txt that contains a line of code. Go to your main mabinogi folder (should be C:/Nexon/Mabinogi) and create a shortcut of client.exe.
-Open the properties of the shortcut, and under the Target: field, copy and paste the line of code in the shortcut.txt into that area. You may need to edit this line of code if your mabinogi game is not installed in C:/Nexon/Mabinogi, just change it to point to your client.exe, wherever it is.
-Now you can start mabinogi using this bypass, it'll boot up the game and you should be able to login. If you get a Server Cannot Be Found error, then you didn't override all the files correctly. If you get some other crazy error, use your backup files and just replace the ones I gave you.
(This works for XP and Windows7, Vista users I can't confirm sorry)
(Edit: Crap I named the zip folder mabinogi_R64_fix, it's suppose to be R74 I typoed T-T)
worked, confirm by me and valk so far.
If you not great with computer just follow this more short and clearer instruction.
Download Mabinogi_R74_Fix.zip (http://www.mediafire.com/?15bukdac241af1v)
Mistake made on name by uploader but it is the correct files.
After finish downloading
1-backup the original files that you going to replace (place them in another folder)
Then
2-replace all the files in your main mabi folder(should be C:/Nexon/Mabinogi) with the download files.
3-Make a shortcut of your Mabinogi.exe
4-left click and select properties of the shortcut, (under the Target: field) copy and paste the line of code in the shortcut.txt in the downloaded file into the Target: area.
The code look something like this(C:\Nexon\Mabinogi\Client.exe code:1622 ver:50 logip:2)
5-start the game using the shortcut you made.
