Most people have experienced waiting, using blizzard updater is slow. For some people with slower computers it can take days. And for people with the faster ones, hours.

Fileplanet and fileshack are overcrowded.

Simply use www.filefront.com you dont have to sign up and there is a lil bit of wait as in 30 seconds. Nothing big and I download updates in about 5 min tops.

i was able to open the blizzard updater and finish before my filefront download even started, about 20 mins, so if you know how to bypass your firewalls, you can download pretty freakin fast with their torrent system.

it always takes time though for it to find the right kind of people to connect to. once it does, it will go from 5-10kbps up to 200~ kbps
