Big Download has mirrored today's patch for us all. You can head over there and grab both the Mac and PC versions. While the download is small, just under seven megs, the Blizzard downloader has been known to lag out and not work correctly at times. And these times usually occur right on patch day, so we've got you covered.This patch fixes some bug that have been around since 3.0.8 went live last Tuesday. We know at least three confirmed bugs it fixes, but we're not sure about the rest. This patch is being called 3.0.8.9506 or 3.0.8a.
Happy patch day!
As usual, please do not leave comments with external download links as we cannot verify their integrity. We have this rule for your safety!

I'd just like to say that I have tested the warlock summoning, and it is not fixed. This still has a 2 minute cooldown, and there is not portal that stays open.
When will this be fixed? 2 minute summons are getting fairly annoying in a raid environment.

When downloading the patch it gives a link to the forums. A blue post shows 4 fixes which wowinsider seems to have already stated. Doesn't look like there are any other fixes. And if the warlock fix is not working that is real lame.

Looking at notes it says a 2-min cooldown was in there to stop an undisclosed exploit so maybe "t is working as intended."

Sad day for 57-3-11 mages. "Arcane shattering", "missile clipping" or what ever you want to call it were u interrupt arcane missiles at the last second to cast Arcane barrage, is no longer possible. The arcane blast debuff is immediately consumed upon casting arcane missiles. Just tested this on live realms.

Am I missing something? Where is the EU patch? I cannot find any mirrors anywhere for it....
