Need to give it some more time to make sure, though.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, welcome back. Hope everything works out with the new place.Talhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663458153692598379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4138338795919773019.post-24379635958207012622008-09-19T02:04:00.000+09:002008-09-19T02:04:00.000+09:00Lots of people are having problems with the downlo...Lots of people are having problems with the downloader this time around, but I wonder if that has a lot to do with its size. I think it's over 800 megs. The downloader has always been a bit quirky for me, so I usually download the patch from other sites and then do that final percent from Blizzard on the day it's released.<BR/><BR/>And the world doesn't hate you! I'm here and feeling the love! I'll be sending more good vibey thoughts your way.

I think the problem is that it doesn't always stop downloading when WoW is running, and if it's messing around with open files that could freeze WoW. Who knows?<BR/>What I'm doing for now, is I looked in the WoW installation folder, under "Cache" - it contains the actual .torrent file for the patch. Open it with your favorite Torrent client and ignore Blizz's downloader. While I wouldn't download patches from mirrors or from torrent aggregation web-sited (I'm paranoid that way), this torrent is actually the one used by the downloader so there's no chance of patching a keylogger into your executable come patch day. :)Talhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663458153692598379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4138338795919773019.post-38017173614231487752008-09-18T13:04:00.000+09:002008-09-18T13:04:00.000+09:00I have been having the same exact problem as your ...I have been having the same exact problem as your first two. Occasionally I will also get a note that data for the next patch is not available. I think that there is an issue with the patch downloader at the moment — and I think the two things must be connected, because I never had a problem logging on until I started trying to download that thing.KChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03575029243819038810noreply@blogger.com
