Okay, need someones help/advise...
I downloaded Stage 1 & Stage 3 from Wage.co.za without issues using download accelerator. Stage 2 however for some reason doesnt support "Resume" and this basically mean unless with some miracle I manage to download a 2.7gb file without dc'ing once or something causing a timeout, I will get say halfway and have to start from scratch again.

Is there any other local server to download this from? is there something WA can do on this specific file to change it? both Stage 1 & 3 did support resume.

So I have a few options from what I can see

1) download the rest with blizzard downloader, which at times does actualyl download but usually sits on 0.00kb/s.
2) try my luck a few times possibly wasting a couple of gigs before giving up and then doing option 1 again
3) find someone to post me a dvd with stage 2 on?
4) give someone ftp rights to my server in the US to upload it for me, which may take most ppl in SA forever also even if someone did it
5) stop playing wow and find a new game that I dont need to download more than a dvd worth of data just so I can then later go buy a dvd with more data on, just to get to lvl 85 :)

any better ideas than above is more than welcome?

(I connect using wifi to towers and my first non-wifi connection is 150km away from me so quite a few chances something goes wrong in the about 20 hrs it will take to dl 2.7gb )

How does it not support resume?

Code:

Now I did cancel it 2% and 4%. The ++ is the parts that were downloaded the 1st round, then after I resumed it is the == which show resume does work. Thats on HTTP.

And that is where it resumes via FTP.


So here is what I think is wrong. Make sure you are not downloading to a FAT32 partition, as that is the only file that is bigger than 2gb, which is the filesize limit on FAT32 partitions. I can't think why anyone are still using these, except on USB flashdisks, but its the only explanation I have for your case.
 
i download some 100mb thing wowikki also, was a zip with a few files one funny looking exe updater(a bird icon), ran it till 2%(was updating the files though) ,then i had to go not sure if it is legit, if someone can give me a 100% sure link it would be cool :)


damn just got this from wowikki.

Updating from 4.0.1.12911 to 4.0.1.13164, done via the new launcher using the streaming method — 1.4 GiB .

if someone in northern suburbs have it complete let me know i want to play today :(

Installing the 5.19GB took me about 1 hour, rather pathetic and then I left it installing the 1.6GB after the whole morning.
 
if anyone has it cut to a cd in sandton i am wiling to pay thx
 
Its up on wage, they're in that folder just hard to find :)
Near the bottom
 
AFter you have downloaded the 72mb it launches the new Cataclysm WoW launcher and starts downloading the other 1.6Gb.
 
part 4 ?
I can see 1, 2 & 3 but not 4
if its there can some one past a direct link part 4 on them wage ftp server plox
 
Its kinda hard to upload the other 1gb on to WAGE because of the way the new downloader works. Best bet would be to upload the complete updated client.
 
Will Stage 4 and the 1.6gb patch be available on WaGe? I thought stage 1-4 was the whole patch. They killing us!
