Bittorrent Blizzard patcher sucks ass

Postby Lyion » Wed Aug 18, 2004 6:28 am

Completely. Why in the FUCK can't they use a fileserver and allow normal downloads?

I realise they want to be cheap fuckers and utilize their beta testers bandwidth, but c'mon.. This sucks ass...

I'm getting 25k up/down. They appear to have capped download based on upload...

My setup is fine, my Network is fast, and there are no roadblocks.

Its just a pain in the ass setup, and I feel sorry for people downloading this who don't have a sniffer or who run NAT without port forwarding

Thanks for the link, Taxx. I'm using the modified BT file, and will see how much faster it is...

My computer REFUSES to download it. So Taxx downloads on his computer, puts the file on our Network, and BOOM I have it on mine, its that simple.

Check the link Taxx gave. It has some great info for bypassing this. I lowered my upload rate to 10k and I'm downloading at 75k with plenty of bandwidth for work/surfing.
