Guys im having problems, it downloads a 38.5mb file and when i try to run it, i get "Sorry, the installer was unable to start. You may be out of hard drive space." But my harddrive is nowhere near full (60gbs left), and i know the file should be 455 mbs when i download it from FH, but it isnt, and i've tried a few times :(.

The file that gets downloaded is WoW-1.11.0-enGB-patch.exe

I cant use the WoW patcher because it says the tracker is not responding ? :(

Well, the servers still aren't back up anyhow and probably won't be for a while, so there's no rush.

I dont get why they cant just scrap this bittorrent patch distribution shit. I know its a large game and its stupidly cheap for them, to use servers to host the patch would be expensive for such a large player base, but in the end, no one likes there BT crap and with such a large player base surely they can afford to host the patchs, dedicate a few servers to it, then leave space on there sites from a couple of weeks later to download patchs and what not. Dont see why not, mythic managed it.

Personally I wouldn't even mind having to use a torrent, if:
  • the tracker actually worked and was reliable - half the problem earlier was the fact that it couldn't even be reached (and may still be unreachable, I don't know - I managed to get most of it before it died);
  • the client was a proper torrent client, that allowed you to change port usage and so on. The current bare-bones thing is, well, rubbish and barely functional.
Torrents are hugely powerful things, and with the amount of people playing WoW it should be a great way of distributing the patches - but, of course, they manage to fuck it up mostly via the above.

Edit - actually, saying that; is it possible to hop on the official patch torrent with a third party client? That would solve the second problem, at least. Maybe.

thx a lot - great help

I have problems getting the download from Blizzard to work so you saved my day.

Not even Game Spot had this download, they only offer the US version and that wasnt any help.

So again thank you :fluffle:
