Hey guys, i have been volunteered to sort out my mate's son's pc and one of the things i have to do is install and update his world of warcraft the only problem is the update is taking soooooo long, so is there a quicker way like a different server to get the patch other than the auto down-loader, i have a 7ish mb connection but it's saying it will take around 90+ hours

Ifyou absolutely have to dl through the patcher, what i found is if you go to settings and tell it to disable the peer to peer option, itll download it directly from blizzard rather than trying to use that bittorrent nonsense, which somehow manages to cripple my connection at the same time as only downloading at a snails pace This cut my download in half.
Be warned, this was when i was updating a comp from 3.3 before cata was released. They might be getting their servers hammered at the moment (possibly) with a lot of people who have just bought the game trying to download patched.
Let us know if you see any difference.

Then it will be only some minor patches.many thanks guys that's awesome i thought i was going to be stuck with his dam pc sitting here downloading for the next few days but he's going to buy cataclysm tonight so problem solved
The other thing you could do is to take a friend/neighbour/etc copy of WOW folder (with that update) and it should run smoothly (no need to install )
.
the p2p option is useless.
it just means it hammers your upload, which results in a really slow connection.
everytime my bro used to update no one else could do anything, not even browse.
just download the patch files instead, would be much quicker usually
