want the pre-patch without having to enduring the background downloader?
Goto \World of Warcraft\Cache and you will find a torrent file there. Click it and use as a normal torrent and it will down the new 2.01 patch files at 100% speed.
(if your cache directory is not there then do the same with World of Warcraft\WDB and use the BackgroundDownload.torrrent you will find there)
Obviously I accept gratitude payments in gold and silver.... :)
Enjoy.

nah i'm gonna try it the normal way first, i'm at 47% :)
I was at 100% in 40 mins....enjoy :P
Can you explain how you use the file, dont really keep in my brain how to use such files :sideways:
Just finished Dl'ing it at 300-400kbs using the torrent..
The background loader just never seemed to go anywhere..
Good tip.. :thumb:
edit: Erhm, ok lol at me.. What should I do with the .MPQ files? :g:
edit edit: ya ya.. think i figured it out.. Just copied the files to the "WoW-1.12.x-to-2.0.1-enGB-patch"-folder in the WoW dir.
lol at me again.. :blink:
How can I see if the download is done?
Don't want to start the .torrent if the background downloader allready downloaded it all.
check the size of the file..
one should be 36.697kb
the other one 632.340kb
this bliz downloader really sucks.
it refuses to work properly. still only got 4% clickying the file that u sugested doesnt do anything either!
help
you need to open it with a bit torrent client mate.
like utorrent (http://www.utorrent.com/download.php), thats the one i use anyway.
Tan.
lubberly, i shall try that tonight then
Just finished the download in less than 1hr with and avarage of 350kb/s:D
yay its working
stil on 58%, think i'm gonna try ur trick :)
mine was considerably slower than some of the other guys but i got up to 78% within a couple of hours. ill finish the dl sometime soon
1% after 1 hour, hmm, thats about as fast as Blizzards uploads it :S
ive finished downloading now. it started "seeding" and uploading stuff so i stoped it. what do i need to do now?

Sit back... relax.... and wait until Blizzard classifies the patch as installable, which probably is next wednesday if you believe the rumors :D
It means soon your pc will be able to make a lot of baby wow disks :narnar:
so i should i leave it seeding? or not?
Quote from: Padding;165785which probably is next wednesday if you believe the rumors :D
They are quite not rumors Padding :D.
Blizzard posters formally announced that the patch is scheduled for the 5th of December for US realms and for consequence for the 6th of December for EU servers :woot2:
Lol after 1.5 hours waiting it started going to 200kbs and after 2 hours it was 440kbs :) after that it was ready real soon :D, for fun i have blizzard downloader still on, after 24 hours or so it finnaly hitted the 75% :(
do i have to move the torrent file anywhere or actually do anything with it?
Just DL it with a torrent-thingy I suppose.. Maybe move the finished download into the Blizz folder?
I've put the patch in the WoW directory, then switched on the Blizz downloader (in less than 5 secs it fills all the bar as you already downloaded the files) then it downloads a 2 MB thing called Updater and...its done. :D
ahh,
I "think" mine is all set. it down loaded that updater thing. I was wondering why the blizzard downloader didnt pop up over the last couple of days
Well just run the updater then :D Should miss only that! :D
i believe i have done that.
we shall see when I get home tonight wont we.
Fast link to the patch: http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/games/worldofwarcraft/patches/enGB/WoW-1.12.x-to-2.0.1-engb-patch.zip
that would have been VERY usefull last week.......sods law really
i used to use wowwiki.nl :P they link to UTtwente too (almost everything can be found there ^^)
anyways WHY ISN"T ASZUNE UP 50 others are up allready :'(
it would not apply the patch.
but blizzard downloader is downloading realtime. so im going to let it do its thing
if you used the torrent, copy the directory into the wow folder and start launcher, it should reatart a couple times and then carry on downloading a few mb on the background downloader.
(when the background downloader starts it will carry out a check of the downloaded files and it will look like its downloading, it's not it's just checking. Once it gets to around 97% it will download the last few MBs)
once done make sure you have 4 gb free on your drive and the patch will apply.
its nearly finished, im just letting it do it.
