Even though I am the only person in the galaxy for whom Blizzard's downloader works without issues, and hence didn't need this, I'll say it for everyone else: thanks for hosting it! Trippy is the man!
You're not alone Jayce. I got the patch from the Blizzard downloader in some 45 minutes.
Took me hours and hours. I usually power down after exiting WoW though, but then decided not to a few weeks ago to see how long it would take to get the update.
I ended up with two large pre-patches. The first through the torrent took a while, but was no big deal since it was ahead of time. I got a second one a few days ago, but was remarkably direct from blizzard's server! It came in about 10 minutes. I guess they wanted me to be one of the seeds.
