So, I've reached the end of my "quests" and stuff on the planet, but because the game isn't "fully downloaded" it's not letting me leave. It's been stuck at 99.95% for downloading for about two or three weeks now, and it's kind of pissing me off because I would like to move on in my gameplay.
How can I make the game download the rest of the update?

A lot of people have been having errors related to the downloads since the lastest expansion. I kept getting "unable to retrieve patch data (311)", and several guildies have had the same problem you did.
Apparently some people have been having problems with their hosts. Instructions for changing this have been posted on the SWTOR forums:
http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=759127
But basically, the instructions are:
Press Windows Key+R to open a Run Line.
To access the hosts file in Windows 7 you can use the following command in the Run Line to open notepad and the file.
notepad c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
and
add
209.84.0.254 cdn-patch.swtor.com
Alternately
- Right click Notepad
- Run it as Administrator
- Click File, then Open
- Type "c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts" and press Open
- Add "209.84.0.254 cdn-patch.swtor.com" on a new line
- Save the file.

This fix worked for me, and several of my SWTOR guildmates.
