Patch day...

Postby Lithium » Tue Aug 22, 2006 12:20 pm

Patch days are annoying. First time this has happened, my firewall's preventing me from grabbing the patch. I take it down, now the download's still not responding.

Anyone know of a website where you can grab the patch from?

So much for connecting once in a while with Wine. Guess I might actually have to boot to Windows. *shudder* :shock:

So I finally decide to download the patch today for myself...

*glances at the download indicator*

This is the fastest 0% I've ever downloaded. Ever.

Oh, it worked... after an hour it found the tracker. Thankfully, I had other things to take care of in the interim.

That's the thing, you leave it on overnight because it downloads super slow; even without a firewall..Blizzard wins again...

The funny thing is that there for a while, I figured that I just had iptables screwed to hell. Then, I realized that bittorrent-based clients seem to work just fine!
