Slow download of new patch

I know everyone and their dog is downloading the patch, but 1MB/s? I’m on 1GB internet and using a wired connection, I should be blasting through the patch download. Not going to bed and getting up 8 hours later to see I still have 4 hours left. Blizzard is a massive company with phenomenal resources. They should have better bandwidth than this.

I really really thank you! :smiley:

You’re the best Joolo, thank you!!

First of all. thank you!
Second, why would Blizzard cap a pre-release at abysmal download speeds?! You don’t have to answer this question lol

They are not capping just the pre-release, it most likely has been capped by default to diablo patching completely.

Personally I had it unlimited by default, dont know why it would be turned on unless recent updates & intsallations have started to do it

Thanks guys. I wasn’t really thinking they had capped the download speed by default. I’m used to it being the other way round, but this being Blizzard I suppose I should have expected them to do the opposite
