Hey guys was going to start playing WOW again but as soon as i get to the downloader i get:

"The Tracker Is Not Responding"

I am using microsoft security essentials and windows firewall, windows firewall allows blizzard downloader.

Operating System: Windows 7

I have a Belkin router THIS ONE !

I have forwarded ports ( see screenshot below )

If i have been a noob and not done something or done something wrong with my port forwarding could you please tell me :-)

Here is what Blizzards downloader Log tells me ( Might help some of you helping me to solve the problem)

Along the top, there should be several menus, one will be options, or have options in it somewhere. In there, you will be able to disable the peer 2 peer downloading, so it just uses a regular http download instead, which should prevent the error.

Sorry I can't be more specific regarding where it's located though

Jargan · 23 Oct 2010 at 19:37

ah.. i have found it

View > preferences

I have disabled it now, lets see if it does anything :-)

MouthBoy · 23 Oct 2010 at 19:37

Yea basically the Blizzard downloader uses a combination of P2P downloading and Direct Downloading. Bitorrent and Blizzard downloader (when using P2P) and very similar and so this can cause issues with ports etc. If you do what iviv said and disable P2P downloading this should resolve your issues.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the advice guys but it still seems that the tracker is not responding

Can you temporarily bypass the router and see if the issues continue?

lofarl · 23 Oct 2010 at 19:51

Failing that can you not just direct download from another place like fileplanet?

Will i need to download all 4 stages including the complete or just the complete file?

ThundyCat · 23 Oct 2010 at 20:03

Just complete I believe.... can anyone else confirm this please?

OP:

Why have you set-up virtual servers?

I believe thats what my router calls port forwarding?

davewhite04 · 23 Oct 2010 at 20:36

If your just using Microsoft security and Firewall, there isn't a need as far as I understand, this could actually be causing the problem.

Hope you get it sorted.

Well im just downloading the patch which ThundyCat provided, its at 40% now

What should i done once i have extracted the file?

Copy the files to where the blizzard downloader was saving them?

Correct, Virtual server is Belkin'd name for port forwarding.

As for where you need to extract, I'm not sure, it depends what's in the rar file! I assume it will be:
WoW-3.3.0.10958-4.0.0.12911-EU-Stage-1, 2 and 3
Installer Tome.MPQ
WoW-x.x.x.x-4.0.0.12911-Updater.exe
and the folder: WoW-x.x.x.x-4.0.0.12911-Updater.app

If it is, just copy all of those files into the update folder. The blizzard downloader may have created a couple of those already, so overwrite. Then just run the launcher as usual, and it should check all the files and start the patch.

Jargan · 23 Oct 2010 at 21:38

Thanks iviv, i will let you know whats in the folder once its downloaded

Jargan · 23 Oct 2010 at 22:51

My Folder only contains

WoW-3.3.0.10958-4.0.0.12911-EU-Stage-1, 2 and 3

and

WoW-x.x.x.x-4.0.0.12911-Updater.exe

do i need Installer Tome.MPQ and the folder: WoW-x.x.x.x-4.0.0.12911-Updater.app??
