The Blizzard bittorrent client does not appear to support trackerless downloads; therefore, when their tracker is down (as it was for pretty much all of the patch day in Europe, along with the website and the forums - WHY can they not run a low bandwidth site with announcements on throughout the day?), you can leave the window open as much as you like and it won't budge past 83%, which is what the background bandwidth drowner fetched in the days prior to patch day.
Extracting the torrent file out of the downloader file and running it in your own choice of bittorrent client gives you a smoother download with bandwidth limits you can manage and lets you seed for others after download is completed. There really is no excuse for the shoddiness of the Blizzard implementation.

You don't know what you're talking about.
