Just installed WOW, downloading patches is taking FOREVER. I've heard you dont have to use the Blizzard Downloader and can get them from somewhere else, but as I have no idea what I'm doing, can anyone give me some advice? :P

There a new patch?
www.wowwiki.com/patches
Go there, choose which patch. Its generally set as Patch x.c.k -> y.b.t
x.c.k = Patch you're on
y.b.t = The patch that you'll download.
Choose away
btw, the letters = numbers. so i could be 2.4.1 -> 3.0.1
Are they like... quicker than the blizzard installer thing?
I just downloaded a patch in about 30 minutes that would have taken 5 hours on the Blizzard Downloader :PQuote:
