    Maybe you already downloaded it?

    How big can patch 6.1 be: 50-100 MB maybe; no content, not much to download (althrough i think only blizzard can manage to create a big file size with no content in it).

    The screenshot shows it's over 2GB. No idea how that's even remotely possible unless all the recolored textures that are going to be used are in 10k resolution.

    But yeah, the OP may have had automatic downloads on or needs to restart.

    Specifically, can you see the download icon at all?
    Soothing Mist:"Healing them for a minor amount every 0.5 sec, until you take any other action."
    Jade Serpent Statue: "The statue will also begin casting Soothing Mist on your target. healing for 50% as much as yours. "
    [What's half of minor?]
    "Statue casts Soothing Mist at a nearby ally for toddler healing."

    Currently using data from my mobile phone so watching my downloads and had the exact same concern.

    Went to start downloading and came up showing ~2.76gb. Think it can wait until I get my proper connection active..

    Check to see if you have a PTR download waiting. I know that was tying me up for the background download to start.

    I can provide some specifics but someone else should check the math. My download is 37% complete. I have 453.8 mb remaining. So something like 720mb or so total?

    Your persistence of vision does not come without great sacrifice. Let go of the tangible mass of your mind, it is only an illusion. There is no escape.. For the soul burns on everlasting encapsulated within infinite time. A thousand year journey at the blink of an eye... Humanity is dust..

    It was around 1.52GB over and above existing data. The downloader started almost halfway directly and completed the rest.

    Would like to know if there is a way to check to see if a user has it pre-loaded.
    With the old filesystem on MPQ, they where taged in the file names with expansion revision numbers... The new CASC file system hides so much data, it's annoying.

    Around 2.8 GB. I wonder why, if there will be no really significant additions or changes.

    They threw in a couple uncompressed jpeg "sample selfies" to make it seem more meaty.

    I KID, I KID!
    Happy new year to all, and to all a good night!

    I can't even download it. For hours it just sits there and says "the download is preparing to start". It never starts up. Been like that for days.

    Scan and repair then restart bnet, that should fix it.
