[Tasty]

[Wide]

Blizzard said the patch will come when S4 ends (14th).

My download finished about 2 weeks ago. it was just over 900mb

I got the 821mb a couple weeks ago.

Most large patches have been a huge file plus a small one on patch day. The one we have all downloaded is probably heavy with graphics, which won't change as much in the last couple weeks of the beta.

I just hope the final changes aren't that large, or they up their bandwidth a little. The p2p doesn't work as effectively for me.

On a related note, for anyone that has made folder copies of WoW, do you have to download the patch twice (or copy after d/l) or will the downloader point to the original directory installed via your registery entries?

[Ughmahedhurtz]

On mine, I have every directory except CACHE, WTF and INTERFACE junction-linked to the main one. So I patch once, copy the 8-10 binaries from the root wow directory to the others and I'm done.

[ChaoticMonk]

What do you mean "copy the 8-10 binaries from the root wow directory to the other"? I recently symlinked my Data folder, theres more to do after patching the root wow or will that be enough?
