Not that I know of. Are you using a laptop? If you are, just take it to your local library and download it there. That's what I did for Left 4 Dead for updates.

Alternate download links

But from here on it should be better - old patching system is replaced in this patch



I was going to suggest to a direct site download, but you already  did that :P

P2P only really works when there are other people sharing the file. Since your installing from ZER0 I suspect there were too few people to share. I suspect you already know this though :P Still 15 hours is a lot of time.  I install Age of Conan at 12gig install in about 5 hours. Which is double the size in 1/3 the time.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

rofl at new problem the downloader downloads fine (considering before) at like 80kb/s for like 5 minutes then the downloader randomly stops downloading so i wud have to close it and re-open it! :P

Yeah, you should definitely close out limewire/bitorrent/utorrent/whatever when using blizzard downloader. Or downloading whatever from the internet.
