Go to http://download.utorrent.com/1.6/utorrent.exe install the torent client.
Go to whaterver:\World Of Warcraft\Cache directory theres a file there - BackgroundDownload.torent file . Execute the file and tell windows to open it with the freshly installed torent client (uTorent). Go get something to drink, clean the room a bit, and u have the file when u come back. Copy the Directory uTorent creates in its Download directory (WoW-2.0.0-to-2.0.3-enGB-Win-patch) into your Wow directory and execute BackgroundDownloader.exe . Thats pretty much it. Hella lot faster the Blizz downloader. |

Well prepared me xD www.wowwiki.com -> Patch Mirrors -> I usually go for patchitbaby as it's so fast and a simple web page (300kb on my 3mb connection) |
