    Download issues, more of a connection question?

    Hey,

    So i'm re-downloading wow after formatting my M15x. Everything downloads fine except the wow client. it's disgustingly slow. I am getting 15kb/s. My internet connection is 50mb/s with 3mb/s upload. I went to a friends house last night same ISP we live down the street from each other and both work for our ISP he has a slower connection then I do but I was getting a 1.5mb/s download on it.

    Got home today went to play there's an update and i'm stuck again without it moving. I get the same results using wireless and hard wired, i've even turned my firewall off to see if it's made a difference it hasn't. Blizzard has no answer for it.

    This place has been great hoping someone might know what is causing this?

    This can be ignored. Oddly enough somehow going into internet explorer>tools>Internet options>Connections>Lan settings and disabling everything in there managed to resolve the issue.

    How this wasn't a problem when I was at my friends is beyond me.
