I can't connect to download direct from Blizzard atm.... at a customer site.

But I figured I could set a download running if anyone knew of a mirror.

If you do, post it or PM me, please.

I dont know where Gidan got it from, but I just ran some download from WoW. If I knew how to like, host it or something, I would share :dunno:

Oh - and Gidan probably got it during the very brief window that the login servers were up earlier. The patch had been released and anyone that logged in at that time was able to begin the download.

He got it from a server he shares with his friend. SOMEHOW this friend gets the updates like the instant they are available...I blame the fact that he is now single and works overnights and stays up and plays every waking moment. Anyway, he puts them on his server and onhis guilds website for quick downloads.

Oh I'm sorry I didn't have my stopwatch out. I can get over 1meg/second on fileplanet.

Yes you get one 1 megBIT/second downloads.... as did I when I just downloaded it.

8 bits per byte. 56 MegaBYTES.

You do the math.

You didn't download the file in 45 seconds. Hell - you'd be lucky to copy the file on local hard drives that quickly - let alone download it off the web.

Yes, I did. It took less than 1 minute SIXTY SECONDS 1 mississippi 2 mississippi to download the entire patch to my harddrive (the thing which saves information on your computer).

Great so when I am done with this class I can't even just go home and play... motherfucker. I think my fileplanet subscription was up long ago too, so looks like I wait in line :(

I sure wish I had an 8mbit/sec connection. Most companies can't even afford that - you must be rich.

Most cable connections run 1.2-2Mbit/sec connections. DSL is typically not even that fast normally in the 800Kbit-1.2Mbit range. Maybe you're running 4-6 cable connections in agregate?

or... you have a personal residential T3 line? That would work, too.

It happens ug, I've gotten some insanely fast fluke downloads.

It's hardly normal but it does happen.

I have no idea why it's being so gay and slow

Every other patch hasn't been 10 mins, it's been at 3 percent and it has been about 25-35 mins. Wtf is up with this?

I've got an 8mb and a 5mb line in my house (DSL)

under $50/month for the 2 of them (the 8 mb line has TV on it, but if the set top boxes are off, I can use all that bandwidth for downloading

I just downloaded it via Bittorrent, and it never went below 150kb/sec

Are your ports open?
