I just started the ptr download. 5 hours or so. I am glad its time to burn up the DVR

A word of advice:
If you're on a wireless network (or even possibly a wired one), I wouldn't advise trying to play live game while the patch is downloading. At least for me, since the Blizz Downloader is a p2p downloader, it maxes out my upload speed, bringing my ingame latency to around 2k (from a normal of around 160ms). Not fun. I'd advise downloading it while you sleep.

its capping me at about 300/kbps so this is about right. but again, this is all up to your internet connection. i'll probably have this done in about an hour and a half, but in the meantime wow will be unplayable. guess i'm going to bed early.

Like I said though, it's a p2p network, so your speeds will vary depending on how many other people are seeding/downloading. Heavy download traffic means lower download speeds for you. The opposite is true as well. Download it now if possible. Trying to download it tomorrow is going to be like trying to download it on patch day.
