Status: Downloading

The WoW patch is downloading buggerdly slow. I suspect this may be due to the approximately 3,219,712 other people in the U.S. downloading it at the same time as I am.

Incredibly poor timing on their part.

Well, that and the fact that since Blizzard implemented a torrent-like download, if no-one is past byte X in the download, only a few are getting it directly from the source, everyone else is getting it from them.

Unlike EQ2, which checks each and every frigging time I log on to see if I have the latest version by checking each file. Yep, that means with each expansion, adventure pack, and additional extra file I get, the check process gets longer.
