Quote:A thought occurs:As I said earlier in this thread
The patch is from 2.4.3 to 3.0.2...
...But isn't the install version on the disk 3.0.1? That would require a completely different patch, wouldn't it?

I feel like the first was around 800M and the second around 300M. So you wouldn't have to get the whole 1.2G over.Also to quote another thread on the lounge (since I deleted my patch files and so don't have the files to look at myself for numbers) Background download increased (WoW 3.0), another 350 MB added

If you haven't run the background downloader at all yet, you might want to get started, unless you want to get it all on patch day...The 812MB download was a patch from 2.4.3 to 3.0.1 and so when one installs from disk they won't need that section. The part taking it from 812MB to 1.17GB is the patch from 3.0.1 to 3.0.2 which is what would be needed after installing from disk. Now the Euro patches are a bit bigger and I don't know which part had the size increase in it so while they still won't have to download the whole thing; I can't say how much they will actually have to download.
