WoW Patches

Only got a 2mb line at home and it will take forever! Might as well abuse the 100mb line at work and download them now. Which patch do I start from?
 
as above, gamershell's lines a top quality and you'll max out all day long on them :) brilliant for getting hold of patches and demo's quickly :D
 
Wowwiki.com has a long list of patch mirror locations, but obviously you'll want to pick a site you trust from the list.

I think you'll want the patches in this order:

New Install (3.0.1) -> 3.2 -> 3.2.0a -> 3.2.2 -> 3.2.2a -> 3.3 -> 3.3.0a -> 3.3.2 -> 3.3.3 -> 3.3.3a -> 3.3.5 -> 3.3.5a

Getting the 3.x.x -> 3.2 patch directly will probably be the biggest time saver as it's by far the largest patch at ~1.5GB. Given the time it takes to download the whole lot though (~2.5GB in my install folder) it's probably worth just asking for a mate who has them already to burn it to a DVD and mail it off for you.
 
It's silly, Blizzard should do two versions of each patch - an incremental one and a rollup from 3.0.0.

It's a right pain faffing with all these small updates.
 
At the very least they should do a standalone patch for every major release (ie. 3.x). In fact, IIRC they used to do just that, but for some reason stopped some time ago.

Annoying patching is the major reason I have a back-up of my install made every major patch, and would heartily recommend the same for anyone who is on a capped line.
 
I'm only getting 200kb a sec from Gamershell lol! Probably gonna be quicker downloading at home through the Blizzard updater.
 
From a Wotlk install you only need to start from the 3.2 patch iirc (last major patch with a full patch instead of just incremental)

Easiest way would really be 3.2 full patch from one of the mirrors then use the blizzard downloader to sort the rest as theres so many silly little updates.

Bit stupid they never done a full 3.3 patch though :confused:
