I like how they do their maintenance instantly, but the patches are a pain sometimes, like this one, lol.

I’m only responsible for what I say, not for what you understand.

Ah, I never had high d/l speeds with WoW. P2P ain’t all it’s cracked up to be. Plus, if you’re bandwidth capped, it can actually cost you.

It’s been about 3 minutes since I started the download and there are still 7,601/7,602 files remaining. This is going to take so long…

For me it chugged on the first few files, then rocketed from 2% to 9% and has been going faster since.

Or is anyone having some serious connection issues? My bandwidth is fine, and sure my game was a little jumpy when I playing, but that was from a whole lot of people on. But it’s not letting me even go to the log in screen. Heck, it’s not downloading at all. All it says is “Connection error(s) found. Retrying…”

A lot of people are having this. Simply allow the launcher to attempt to reconnect, as all of the servers were booted at the same time most likely and all are trying to download the patch at the same time so they can enjoy Halloween.
