What worked for me:

  • Close battle.net and the agent process
  • Start VPN to Hong Kong
  • Login to battle.net Asia
  • Turn off VPN while app is active > Download started
  • Download until 2%
  • Restart PC
  • Set battle.net back to Europa and start the app > Download continues

Using my own VPN app, switching the server to one of the New York servers works best for me; the fastest download speed so far.

No, it doesnt :frowning:

Welll my download started about 15 min ago and is on 2% lol (nvm just hit 3) xD

It only has a 2GB limit though, update is 4GB?

Nah mines like 600mb

Somehow it didnt use all 2gbs for me , I think 4gb is on disk but download file is much smaller
