There's a new patch to download. I'm at 4% and slowly climbing. Any news on what this is? It must be urgent to require a client download on a Wednesday.

The WoW forums are ablaze.
Quote: From the WoW Technical Forums.. I think the timing is brilliant.... BRILLIANT! Luckily I wasn't planning on playing tonight. It's pretty safe to say things are gonna be hosed for a while as the servers get hammered, then the login servers will be hammered. The wow site is already hammered. Classic. The 1.11.1 patch will go down in WoW history as the worst timed patch released ever.

It's interesting that this patch is going out using the regular downloader rather than using the bittorrent client.

mirrors found from the WoW general forums:
http://a.wirebrain.de/wow/ http://www.crewdaddy.com/files/ http://frogbarf.com/wow/patch/ apparently you can just D/L the files and put them in your WoW folder. I haven't verified any of these, since I'm still at work.

Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!

We had everybody download it from a 3rd-party site and were up and running about 20 mins late. It wasn't so bad for us, but I still wonder why we have to resort to using 3rd-party sites to get patches.

Living in a different reality, maybe:)
