Sorry Susvain, should've extrapolated a bit.

WOW uses bittorrent to distro their patches if you are using the official Blizzard downloader. The downloads go faster if you have open ports that allow you to 'share' your bandwidth.

Go here for a good description of what you can do

Who let the non Nerd onto the boards????

sorry just ribbing you. I would suggest paying for a fileplanet one year subscription. it is extremely fast down load.

But every EQ and WoW patch download has been very quick, like under 5 minutes, it's just this one time for WoW

Just because I like to see Ugzugz proven wrong I downloaded the patch again. OH NOES this time it actually took over a minute.

by **DangerPaul** » Tue Sep 13, 2005 5:01 pm

taxx, email me your infoz so i can logon and download patch, i am 3% into it after an hour because my dsl provider is jacked and throttles downloads somehow

Congratulations - you must have a fucking phenomenally fast internet connection. Your 800KB/sec download speeds are equal to what someone should expect from 4 T1 lines.

Hats off to your internet provider, whoever they may be.

I actually get the same speed thru TimeWarner(RoadRunner) cable here in North Louisiana.

I get same speeds as taxx. comcast for me.

comcast

by **Gidan** » Tue Sep 13, 2005 11:10 pm

800K downloads speeds are a 6M cable connection, hardly a rare thing. And as shocking as it will sound for downloads a 6M cable connection is the same as 4 T1's, just dont have the 6M upload that the 4 T1's would provide and of course you dont pay over $500/mo for cable like you would for 4 T1's.

If anyone else is still having issues downloading the patch you can grab it from my server for the next week or so before I remove it

:ohnoes:

by **Gidan** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 7:42 am

That a fios connection vonk?

my server is 100/100 I really need to find something to do with that bandwidth.

by **vonkaar** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 9:15 am

Yeah...
Verizon... they came out and laid a pipe just for me.

Apparently that's the norm these days.

My neighbor was bragging about his 600/128 satellite connection :teehee:

by **Gidan** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 9:24 am

My mother inlaw has a 5M/1.5 and is paying less then I do for my comcast. I am detemined to move into a fios area.

by **Harrison** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 12:35 pm

Ug got

so great...

Sad part is he works with computers...

by **xaoshaen** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 1:35 pm

Supposedly, my new place will have 7/896, which would be fantastic. I'll wait and see if the connection lives up to its billing, though at $35 a month, I'd be quite happy with even 5/512 or so.

by **brinstar** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 4:08 pm

things i like about this patch:

pets won't attack sheep
the item preview function because i am very vain
the new need/greed/pass dice window
finding dark iron outside of BRD
druid cat form strengthened

by **Kaeerwen** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 4:35 pm

removal of global cooldown after ranged attack is nice.

Also I like how they added a new level 50 rogue quest, but STILL haven't fixed the what, level 20-ish one?

The thing that really annoys me though (probably just because I'm not used to it yet) is that damn global cooldown after switching weapons during combat.

Why are you so cranky? My neighborhood actually has the slow end of comcast (too many people on the same connection box...tired late... hub...whatever) I downloaded the patch in 1 min 10 seconds....

by **brinstar** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 5:26 pm

oh yeah i forgot about the global cooldown after range attack

very nice change there

by **Jeddas** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 5:54 pm
