Did you just download it into your WOW file and thats it? Did you have to do anything else? Are there any instructions on installing this, or can anyone help?

Got my Premium today and DL the patch, not into my WoW folders made dedicated WoWPatch folder, and used it. It said the patch was installed. Went to start the game and it goes throught the authenticating and handshakes and then it says unable to conect. Any suggestions on what I may have done wrong?

I'm going to try to download this monster from Alla's for my second box - it took 3 hours from Blizzard, thanks to their peurile bit-checking monstrosity that rechecks every #$%&%^*^&* byte downloaded to your box. They uploaded 75 meg of reports on their own 60 meg patch. This institutional paranoia is dreadful to watch, as well as requiring constant baby-sitting.

Thank you, Dr. Allakhazam!! Your prescription saved the baby :)

I discovered a trick for downloading from Blizzard. If you check the box that says "Disable peer-to-peer" blah blah, the download just revs right up! It went from 2 Kbs/sec to around 20 right away. It downloaded in 10 minutes! Looks like the warning that checking the box REDUCES download speed is not true at all. At least for me.

why cant you give it to all of us members? maybe we want to be able to get the patch too. it's hard enough just trying to download the thing with errors. cant you give us regular members a break?

Leather, you most likely was trying to install the wrong "patch".
Boot up the game and on the bottom right side of the page you'll see the game version .Try using the 1.3.0 patch first" For those who were having version mismatch issues, try downloading the second patch I uploaded, the "pre-1.2.4 to 1.3.0" one, see if that works. "

my 17 yr old son decided he had to go into the router and open up some ports and such... great, he can do all that and yet doesnt know a usb cable from a cat5 connector!!

btw, while i was playing i was getting allot of error on screen, i imagine its due to me having cosoms not updated and running?

thanks

I was installing correct patch. I finally bit the bullet and downloaded it over 4 hours from blizzard and i got the same error. I finally just un-installed the game, re-installed it put the patch from here in it and it worked like a champ. Still don't know why i was getting that error.

Like they said last time they did this, they don't have big enough servers to host it for everyone.

What would happen is someone would link this to the main forums and all hell would break loose and bring down the whole site.

If you head to the main wow forums you can find some links for other people who are hosting it.

The only problem with off site hosting is for people who try and run the updater it will take alot longer since you won't be sharing and there will be fewer seeds.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
3 hours of wasted time from Blizzard before I gave up and look here where I should have started.

1/2 hour to load onto two computers - we're as happy as clams now...

i found a quite fast download alternative, there's some instant messenger for gamers named xfire. it uses some integrated p2p download system to spread the latest game patches. if you want to check it out, find more details and the download links here :)

Hmm... I'm experiencing that too...

Just installed WoW on this computer which is on a 56k dial up modem...

holy sh*t... download on average from the blizzard downloader for me is 2 kbps!!

What the hell!?!?

It always goes down to 0.00 too.

Anyway... 19% in 6 hours... then got disconnected... then I said f*uck this, I'll download it somewhere else.
