Title: Blizzard sucks at Bittorrent: Post by: SurfD on November 13, 2007, 10:35:55 AM Anyone have a link to a Direct Download of the patch?
According to my downloader, the Patch Tracker is down, so i am stuck at 79% completion and it hasnt moved or connected to anything for hours. Title: Re: Blizzard sucks at Bittorrent: Post by: Paelos on November 13, 2007, 10:39:15 AM Same, except I'm stuck at 97%, making it that much more frustrating.

Are you two just leeching off each other ?

I'll be in the heart of primetime trying to download a patch. Having a job is incompatible with playing mmos! You've probably downloaded almost all of it already, assuming you've been playing lately. Title: Re: Blizzard sucks at Bittorrent: Post by: Nebu on November 13, 2007, 01:49:41 PM You've probably downloaded almost all of it already, assuming you've been playing lately. I did notice a patcher running in the background the past couple of nights. If this is the case, then you've made my day. Thanks.

I did notice a patcher running in the background the past couple of nights. If this is the case, then you've made my day. Thanks. Yeah, leaving the background patcher on is the best idea. I patched in about 30s today, because I'd downloaded all the info over the last few days. If I notice any kind of chugging or latency problems during play, I log out set it to "download after I've exited WoW" and leave my computer on until the next morning. Those of you choking on slow downloads it's becuase the rest of us aren't running seeds/ the patcher for you to leech the file data from. Same problem as it ever was.. it's not that the torrent patcher is horrible (not that it's great) but that it completely shuts-down after you're done patching, so there's nothing for anyone to get the data from. Title: Re: Blizzard sucks at Bittorrent: Post by: Chenghiz on November 13, 2007, 08:08:53 PM Does anyone have any idea why the downloader doesn't work for some people where bit torrent clients do? I personally don't have problems anymore but I used to, even when other torrent clients worked fine.
Title: Re: Blizzard sucks at Bittorrent: Post by: Merusk on November 13, 2007, 08:17:50 PM It requires more ports to be open than usual BT clients. You have to have all the B.net ports open as well as whatever the Warcraft ones are. It's on their FAQ page (or was..) Once i opened up the B.net ports on my old router I got a decent boost in the DL speed. This newest one I haven't had to do it for, for some reason.. I should probably worry about that.
Title: Re: Blizzard sucks at Bittorrent: Post by: Chenghiz on November 14, 2007, 08:37:50 PM Oh, I guess that explains the previously unnoticed correlation between my starting to play DotA and my downloader woes ceasing. :oh_i_see:
