Hi, I need help.
I've a huge problem with trying to download World of Warcraft on my new PC, but the installing seems SUPER SLOW. I don't think it's half possible to download back such a large game with only 100 KB/s, or this will take me 3 weeks. I tried doing EVERYTHING to speed up the installation;
Temporarily disable Firewall and Anti-virus, Set Network Bandwidth to 0 KB/s through settings (Unlimited), followed Blizzard's instructions on many advanced troubleshooting rules to speed-en up the download process, and unchecked 'Automatically detect settings' through LAN settings -- (See steps below). I also made sure nobody else is connected to the house wireless but me.
I have done A LOT of searching on possible ways to help speed up the downloading process, and most of them seemed to be working with only 90% of WOW players, However, I'm one of those 10% of people who did not notice a change after trying many attempts. I have a remaining number of 24.42 GB to download, and my KB is running as slow as a snail. I haven't had sleep for straight 3 days because of excite, waiting on the downloading but it's taking forever.. My internet connection seems pretty fine and there's nothing wrong with anything at all. My PC meets all the system requirements for downloading WoW and I've no issue except with the slow downloading.
PLEASE HELP. If there's anything else possible to do I need it!
P.S; This did not work for me, but if you have a problem with slow downloading try these following steps; (Make sure you close/exit battle.net launcher)
1) Press Windows key + Q.
2)Type into the box; inetcpl.cpl
3) Press OK, then click 'Connections' which is found on top.
4) Select 'Never dial a connection' if it is not selected, and then press 'LAN Settings'
5) Uncheck 'Automatically detect settings' and then press OK.
6) Press OK again.
This is the most useful thing to do if you have a problem with installation, BUT THIS DID NOT WORK FOR ME. My KB is still very low @ 50 - 100. There is no change. Any more ideas? I want to log on and start gaming.

Heya,
Could you try the following as well?
Open internet options (can find it by searching in the start menu)
Go to connections tab
Click Lan Settings
Uncheck 'automatically detect settings'
You can also try running the launcher in administrator mode.

tried both, nothing worked for me.. any other ideas? windows 10 x64, latest driver bla bla

Having same problems here. Win 10 x64 Pro, installed 1 week ago. Tried many solutions and nothing - atm my download speed is 15 kb/sec -_-

same problem here

There seems to be an issue somewhere.
I did a remove/reinstall yesterday after a load of problems when logging in.
To download the Bnet launcher took nearly 5 hours. I have a 200Mb link and that was still routing all other internet traffic fine. Once I had managed to get the Bnet app I then managed to download the full copy of WoW in about 15 mins.

@Frozan, Yes, I forgot to mention that too. I tried running the launcher in admin mode and things seemed to be the way it still is. :/

I tried uninstalling what I've been downloading and starting a fresh new install of the game after the new pre-patch updates hit the floor and ruined everything even more! Now I can't do anything. Before the new patch I could actually press play but now the button is grayed out. Because of that, my wow.exe file went missing and it was deleted off my computer for some reason. NOW I can't even load the game at all. Great.. I wanted to play some WoW with my mates but life is against my will. Basically, these new patch updates going on made it even harder for most of us to be able to log or download the game. I think I might start another thread about THAT issue too. Most of my friends could enter the world and play and then there's me, the one who's been suffering 4 weeks of trying to get things along and download the game. I have payed for gametime (Because I was able to enter the game, but it wasn't optimal), but now half of it is running out and I seriously can't wait any longer for !@#$.

Same Problem here =/
I'm downloading on 600 KB/s
Still got 30 GB Left >.<

i have this problem....! I bought legion 2 days ago, and somehow i couldnt download the game from battle net, had like 100 kbs.. would have taken ages to download. So i copied world of warcraft folder from a friend. and now i need to update the game.. and my download speed is 10 kbs..
I have good internet simce i just downloaded dota 2 and cs with around 1mbs. Why is this happening? anyone have solutions to this problem? ive been googleing around, with no good solutions... This just dont want me to go play wow again :/
