    Took me an hour and a bit, so just waiting for realms to come back. I also tried to get rid of Cosmos - hopefully I've deleted the right directories!

    What's wrong with the Blizzard downloader?

    Does the Blizzard downloader save the patches anywhere? I might be reinstalling soon, and downloading them again would be a pain.

    the patch is saved in your world of warcraft directory. i think you will need to backup all your wow updates cus the download you get thru the blizzard downloader is 40Mb small than the one i just downloaded. I think the one that blizz gives you is the 1.2.4 to 1.3.0 update, where as if you install again you will be going from 1.?.?

    The Blizzard download is just over 60MB (and at 512 KB/s took around 20 min on auto update from Blizzard).

    Why, and how, have other people got downloads of over 100MB? I have seen the American patch at @115MB on file planet (but couldn't see English due to wait period, as noted by MBlaster).

    If you are going to back up the patches from the Warcraft directory I think it might be best to save the patch update files as well as the larger patch files themselves (ie the patch downloader applications dated 12/02 and 25/03).

    Hope the servers come on line soooooooon, shame to lose a free day off from work.
