My "Battle.Net" app is downloading some BETA and it's hogging all of my bandwidth can't turn it off can't stop it

Hello guys, this is today’s update:

After 5 days of behaving normally, my Battle Net App started again to chain download updates.

It would download an update, then apply it and then after I closed the app and started it again, it would resume downloading yet another update.

I am tired of having to manually delete Battle Net app every 2-3 days and reinstall (waste of my time) so I used my AVG Internet Security to BLOCK internet access to the software

C:\ProgramData\Battle.Net\Agent\Agent.8653\Agent.exe

“Agent.Exe” is the offending software. It runs in the background and keeps downloading non stop hogging my connection.

Since Blizzard have not fixed yet the issues with their Battle Net software, the only alternative apart from closing the software every time the game is launched is to just block it from sending and receiving any traffic through your Firewall Software.

Hope this helps people.
