My desktop pc patched wow 3.3 in 5 mins 57 seconds
My laptop in 8 mins 12 seconds
What's your time ? (It shows in the blizz launcher at the end "Patch completed in: X mins Y secs")
(it's probably mostly a disk benchmark, though maybe cpu too)
edit: multiblocs note it includes download time; which makes it useless/random - oh well - post anyway if you have nothing else to do while waiting for realms to come back :-)
49 mins......wait thats bad!
It also counts your download time, so really this isnt indicative of anything unless you already had patch downloaded via the background DLer.
oh really, then it's useless - I thought it was just the patching time - sorry - ignore this :-)
I did the initial pre-patch, while playing a week or so ago, in 30 mins or so for the... what was it 500mb or so?
Today's patch was about 5 mins.
It will vary both by your potential download speed, and how quickly blizzard will give you the data. Or their torrent tracker thing. I average 1mb/sec, when downloading torrents the next day, but rarely hit more then 300k/sec the day my tv show airs.
3 min 34 sec for the patch install
5 mins 22 seconds, altho I cant login it boots me everytime after entering infos..
Blah
about 5 minutes
About 5 minutes.
FYI this doesn't tell you jack since it's primarily dependent on transitory network conditions.
