    Default Downloading Patches

    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?

    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?
    No more dreaming of the dead as the death itself was undone
    No more crawling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden
    No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so long
    No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so long
    Dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world.

    I just downloaded a patch in about 30 minutes that would have taken 5 hours on the Blizzard Downloader

    The blizzard installer is a torrent, it means it doesnt have a stable connection and wont download fast all the time. Those downloads are direct downloads, so the download speed will always be the same (unless somethin happens with ur connection meaning it goes lower). So i find the wowwiki ones better

    LOL

    I'll remember that when I replace my comp, usually I have to leave the computer on all day and night for the patches to install.

    If you install WoW and the expansions first it automatically downloads the patches (Did for me on new laptop) so you only have to spend 20 minutes downloading the latest patch.

    Best site for patches
