Have the servers come back up? Is there a patch download I should start remotely?

I'd like to get any downloading started while I'm at work, rather than waiting to get home and have the background swarm downloader eating all my bits.

No. No patch and no, they're not up yet.

Icenine - Show me where on that page I get to see if a patch starts downloading today? Pack of smokes in it for you.

patch is not for several weeks...if you would read the front page you would not have to make a useless thread.

Highly tempting offer, however I roll my own now to save a lot of money -- premade smokes taste funny now.

However, back on topic, you asked two questions, I answered one of them. And knowing that we're going into a major patch in the upcoming weeks, we're not going to be sitting on another massive unanounced patch prior to it. If there's anything to download before now and 4.1, it's going to be minimal.

Patch going live isn't for a couple weeks, the downloads always start 2 weeks prior to patch drop.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the background downloader, not the actual patch.

i have no idea where you have been getting your information but this is about 99.9% incorrect. the patch won't drop until the day it's released. (or be able to be downloaded thru the updater).

Trolling necassary? really? He asked a question, which was a simple answer.

Quite often they allow most of it to be downloaded a few weeks prior to the actual release, in order to relieve stress on the servers on the release day.

It's called the background downloader.

Are you drunk? Content patches always download early.

At the moment nothing is downloading so arguing about it is pointless. No patch this week, nothing to download, servers are still down until 11am PDT
