It just shows,Blizzard downloader suxs.

Have you guys tried using this Bilzzard downloader from on a Linux platform?

If its like BT, it won't be capped.

If it's the same as the WoW patcher (and I think it is)... prepare to suffer in Malaysia, for some reason I never managed to make it work properly either and ended up using the HTTP download part of it most of the times

It doesnt even work in Aus.

I doubt it works in Malaysia.

heh for me its same as cheese it does not even move.

No I have not I think its the same on linux and windows. Cos Shitmyx throttles it not sure bout other isp.

I hope there are http downloads for SC2 beta for the beta testers.

I wonder why blizzard distribute their files using that method cant they do it like steam.

Hmmm, the Blizzard downloader works for me, if not mistaken where i read somewhere it purposely download slowly so that it forces everyone to contribute, rather than those with high speed connection gets it fast then close the DLer for good.

So whats your download speed?

I can't find any indicator except the rough figure jumping between "About 3 hours" and "About 2 hours".

But how large is the file that you downloaded?

Inside the Wow downloading if you go to the detailed view you will see which peers you connect with and all.

By looking at that I noticed that all my torrent connection lasted only few seconds before ending. Inside the list of the peers I was seeing one "Http download" special source.

Blizz usually provide some HTTP sources that are embedded inside the torrent (like directly downloading the file from a server). I ended up downloading all my wow patches through that, which is stable but way slower than what the torrent could give me.

I know for sure it's something wrong with Malaysia since I was getting pimp speed when I was still in France.

I am not sure how it is with the "Blizzard Downloader" tool you guys have to use now, but I greatly doubt Blizzard created a brand new tool when they already have an existing one...

I do wish good luck to people downloading something bigger than a couple of Gb with that from Malaysia...

Even in Australia is hard.

I hope they do something about this if not people from countries like ours will suffer.

Not like Wow is new and they have not done anything about it........

I don't think they are gonna bother with it, it's not an issue with Blizzard, it's an issue with Shitmyx, they throttle torrents and co. Malaysia is less than a peanut for Blizzard's market for them to bother doing any agreement with local ISPs

For Cheese, I believe it could be because the torrent is just getting hammered at the moment with so many people connecting to it but not enough seeds. It might get better after a while

Hope its better with Jaring and hope some sites host it.

It always give me an error that it couldnt connect to the seeds,while my other torrents work flawlessly.

Not sure whats wrong with it but i dont really bother as i go somewhere else to get the same file.

hope this game looks better than C&C3.

Whats SC2 gonna do with C&C3?

C&C3 isnt a terrible game.
