After something interesting a fellow guildie from Deorum Animae said in guild chat one day and something he posted on the guild forums, found out a whole new way to get the blizzard patches for world of warcraft.

Basically it involves downloading and installing a bittorrent client, I personally recommend bitcomet utorrent, but there are a fair few clients to choose from each with there own advantages and disadvantages, once you have done this go to where you have installed world of warcraft too i.e. “C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\” inside of that folder there is a cache folder inside of here you will find a .torrent file open this in your torrent program and you begin to download the patch in a much faster way as the Blizzard Downloader isn’t that great a bittorrent client in that it doesn’t support a lot of things, for example upnp and dht to name just a few, there maybe other things it doesn’t support however and things that it does, but overall a proper bittorrent client seems to be a much better choice to get the patches as for me personally I have experienced a much faster download rate from using utorrent over the Blizzard Downloader.
