Advice to Patch Downloading

Freak · 01-23-2007, 02:41 PM

Hoax showed me this a while ago, like months ago, and it sure beats the regular way of downloading the patches, when it takes forever... go to this website (its filefront) http://worldof.filefront.com/ and download the latest patch, instead of 30 min - 2 hour download, you get a 30 sec download...

I know I don't play WoW, but how is that possible? Is it somehow streamed or somin'?

oh thank god, this will hopefully let me get around 5 day patch downloads (the X-server one) because of my firewall hating blizzard (yes i did the anti-firewall guide on wow.com)

no, its just that the blizz downloader literally takes 30min + to download a 2mb file, because so many people are downloading the patch at one time. This just downloads the file and you can run it and install it. it is like 100x faster.

blizzard uses a background downloader, which works like a torrent. well.. "works" but after searching their site for i dont know how long, i discovered this http://www.blizzard.com/Support/wow/?id=aww01810p
and seeing how blizzard always thinks im behind a firewall and slows my downloads to a crawl, this is a much easier solution.

whenever the blizz updater freezes i close it and restart wow. type login again, and it will start update. and take out a huge chunk really quickly, each time.
haha
