Help with WoW Patches

regulus · 13 Jul 2007 at 18:54

I had to format my hard drive a few hours ago and have been installing WoW for the past 2 hours from scratch. Problem is, the auto updating from the Blizz downloader takes a bloody eternity to download. Is there anywhere where i can download the updates seperately and patch them in? I have off course googled this but there is so many patches out that it gets confusing. Any website that makes it clear and simple?

I've installed the WoW source files and TBC source files. No other updates have been done.

thanks

Edit:

and yes, i have checked their website but it only provides the patch notes, not the patch itself...unless i'm not seeing it

They are a massive pain to download and install, unfortunately

You want the full 2.1 patch download, the auto updater can sort the minor stuff to bring you to the current version of 2.1.3 as they are small files (the full 2.1 is around 500mb and not on the blueyonder games link)

Cheers, downloading 2.1.0 now. Although the file is only 529, i vividly remember down loading another 400 meg odd file when I last had to go through this whole update mess again. Any idea what that might be?

This is the list of patches that got me fully updated.

Turn Peer 2 Peer transferring off in the Blizard updater! Works a treat.

Got all my patches off Gamershell. They're normally very quick.
