Okay;
So i have a new mbp. So my specs are not the problem. Also; my internet is not a problem. I get 200GBs a month, and i have previously downloaded 2 hour movies from the internet which has taken me 20 minutes to fully download. So my internet is fine.

I downloaded the WoW trial last night. It's taken me a good hour to get to 20%. Is that normal; even for the trial? I've given up on my firewall b.s (sooo frustrating) . Turned off macbook firewall, attempted to do that port work on my modem.. idk if it worked. Anyway, that's to complicated for me.

So; my main question is; if i purchase the battle chest; will i have the same issue? I thought that since i'm downloading the game off the CD, it would be a different matter? I'm just asking in advance, and if you guys think its worth it, and normal. having to wait like 20 hours to get WoW+buring crusade downloaded..

Thank you!

If you're using the downloader app through Blizzard, go into the preferences in the menu bar and disable peer-to-peer, that may help.

The fastest download speeds I've gotten with peer-to-peer disabled was 1.1MB down.
