Interesting. My roommate experiences the lag that you are talking about, as I'm sure millions of others. How did you get utorrent to use it? Found the tracker info?

Ya, the blizz downloader is a damn joke.

WoW Torrent Extract

or do it manually with a hex editor. It's the data at the end of the file. Where to start will be easy to see since it'll be just like other torrents, look for 'd8:announce'. For where to stop look for 'e13:launch' near the end. 'e' in 'e13:launch' will be the last byte in the file. So copy all that data then write it in a new file. Now you must add 1 more byte for it to work. Just copy the 'e' aka hex 65 and paste it at the end. So the last 2 bytes are '65 65'.

You can just turn off peer sharing in the blizzard downloader to force it to download directly from Blizzard. For some people it's fast as hell, but it can be slow for some. It is faster for me to use uTorrent to download patches (600kB/s) then to download from Blizzard (128kB/s).

99% of the time I never used their downloader, just navigated straight to gamershell.com.

mine would say everything was ok when it started but shortly after that it said something was wrong, like behind a firewall or something. everything is forwarded and opened properly but it still says it and won't let me download. my sub is up on the 6th so i canceled again anyway. just bored with pvp and my friends only play like once a week, they were the only reason i played but lately they don't even say anything to me when i'm on so screw it.

look in the catch folder in the WOW folder its there the torrent when its done downloading then all you got to do is put it in the patch folder and then click on the WoW downloader again and it will recap and then say its finished. Thats it

The Blizzard downloader always sucked while I was playing. I usually got the patch from another site and installed it manually.
