Best Answer: It's just your download speed. It's quite a large trail so it does take a while on a slower connection, there's nothing weird about that. Download speeds can fluctuate depending on how many people are using your internet connection or if the servers are just generally having a bad day. It takes awhile. When I downloaded all of the expansions and all the patches it took me about 3 hours. But that's all together. I think it takes like a half hour last time I checked. I haven't played in a while and I'm getting a new computer here soon so it's probably going to take a really long time. Author: wowketodiet.

How long does it take for a world of warcraft patch update to download?
I was wondering if anyone else out there is having problems with the WoW installer, I recently signed up for an account so I could take advantage of this play the first 20 levels for free promotion.
I've registered fine but I now have the downloader client up and it just doesn't seem to want to download the files (and when it does we are talking speeds between 5-15kb/s). I've got a decent 10MB connection from Virgin media and all other net related activity flies by so i very much doubt its that; I've also DMZ'd myself on my router to help with any connection problems that might be occurring. Finally i've also tried adding the TCP and UDP exceptions to my firewall to allow the downloader through Windows firewall.
Does anyone have any ideas as i'm completely stumped?

Have you tried disabling peer to peer download? By default, the blizzard downloader use p2p to accelerate the download, but your ISP may be throttling p2p transfer. To disable it, in the blizzard downloader, go to the View --> Preference menu and uncheck the box 'Enable peer to peer'.

The Blizzard downloader is a BitTorrent client; unfortunately, Virgin Media appear to block BitTorrent traffic. If switching Peer-to-Peer Download off doesn't work, you can try downloading from an external mirror; Blizzard have a list of sites likely to host the game files here. You'll probably also need to do this every time a new patch is released.
I've have sometimes had this problem before where the download just stops or is just crawling. My best solution is to restart the client. Otherwise try looking at Blizzards troubleshooting forums http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/874936/
What does the download report as a warning/error? If there is something it would report it to you.
Try to look for an alternative way to get the download; if not, get a friend to get you the cached files.
This will probably not work for everyone but it worked for me so it might help you if your wow launcher isn't downloading the patch or if it's extremely slow to download it (like 1k every 5 mins)
Also note that this is with Windows 7 Premium
- Open Internet Explorer
- click Tools
- Internet options
- click the Connections tab
- Click Lan settings
- Uncheck the 'Automatically detect settings'
- click ok
- click ok again then close Internet Explorer and try to open the wow launcher again
after that my download was going at 1.6 - 1.8 Mb/sec :)
Also remember to go check the 'Automatically detect settings' box again after your done, apparently it might cause problem later with your internet if you leave it unchecked (that 's what someone told me)
Hope it help ;)

Go into 'Options' and select 'Patch & Update Settings' and scroll down to hidden fields. Select 0 kb/s for both up and down stream which means unlimited transfer rates. The default setting for background and beta streaming is 100 kb/s. After I did this it jumped to 15+ Mb/S and downloaded in half an hour.

I bought eso for the Xbox one on Amazon and I was just wondering how long will it take to install?
Loading editorUnfortunately, no one can be told what the install time is... you have to see it for yourself. But i can tell you the game is huge so probably a quite a while the Online section doesn't get much traffic i'm afraid so you might not get a answer from someone who actually knows.

I'm pretty sure it would depend on your internet connection.
Loading editorWill it take less time if I put my Xbox one offline while installing it?

with 1 Mb/s net it'll take like 12 hours if you download it from steam, since the game weighs 48 GB plus the patches (20 GB) oh and then you have to worry if it even works or not, because 50% people who bought it cant even play it because it crashes every 5 minutes and is unplayable or you got lucky and works just fine.
Loading editori downloaded it off steam. It took about 8 hours to download off steam, then once i opened the game, it had a loading screen that took about 8 hours to finish!
Loading editorthe last guy yeh on your first time loading the load screen takes forever they never exsplained why
Loading editorProbably setting up your spot on the sever as it's the first time, if a lot of people are doing the same and it's busy it may take longer but just a guess. I remember the first time into the game i was beginning to wonder if it had crashed, but it was only about fifteen minutes maybe some thing like that.

Loading editor it's so far taken 16 hrs on Xbox one. in fact it hasn't finished yet it's on 97% ):
Loading editorEveryone gets slightly different downloading speeds. I know that for example ESO took about a good 5 hours or so to download on my laptop. However, some people have higher/lower internet speeds -- Not to mention I have no clue how long the download is after The Elder Scrolls Online: Thieves Guild came out. According to Steam[1], the game requires 85 Gb of storage, although most of this is likely just extra space to 'keep on the safe side.'
Loading editorI'm installing it right now and it's ok 21% after about half an hour

The percents seem to lie, in the sense that they're presumed to be overall download while instead it's pretty shooty. Also, if I remembered correctly, it goes up to 100% numerous times.
Someone correct me if Im wrong about that fact, quite sure it's true but it has been a while now since I downloaded.
Loading editorTook hours on my XBox One, can't recall how long exactly though not as long as Halo 5 if that's any indication! :-D (I put the latter disc in at 4.30 after getting home from work, and started playing just before midnight!) - of course my wayward rural broadband may have something to do with it. It'll also say it's ready to start on the XBox dashboard, then when you load it you'll get an 'updating' message within the game itself - that's the stage that takes a long time, so I'd suggest popping down the pub at that point....
Loading editorHow about install time on an xbox 1? I'm using a disc (I don't know what Steam is...) that I just bought. Far cry Primal took an hour.

Loading editor Without Updates, About 1 hour. You're looking at a 28 gigabyte update though. So...... With good wifi, About 1 -1/2 hours.
Loading editorWell, I got the game installed on XBox One and now it's been an hour and it hasn't passed 5%

Loading editor I'm downloading it now in Sydney. I started last night at around 7-8pm...it's now 5pm the next day and I'm up to 61% on GAME UPDATING.... Ouch!....
Loading editorDoes 76% ring bells to anyone hère ? After downloading it fully for the second time, im just in the same situation where i am in the game menu where you choose server , and bottom right there ia that litle green bar at 76% that is not moving at all... as i said i uninsralled and totally redownloaded. I am on ps4 and I am sick I got cold n flu I bought eso on pstore cuZ it sas 50% off and i wamted to play but it seems that i will not be able to for the weekend? Omg tell me its just veryyy long and not bugged. I download at 5 mb per sec
Loading editorYeah, the download is likely just huge. I started yesterday (had issues with updating, had to reinstall from the start) and after a ton of errors I finished it about 24 hours later. Depending on your connection, it can take forever. I had the digits to break too (The % would go up, download left wouldn't budge) so it could just be that.

- Add info
- I bought it on pstore and it downloaded in like maybe 3-4 hours
- But now its when I enter the game there is that screen with the update bar stuck at 76% , Am I Missing something??
Loading editorFIXED the stuck at 76% By changing system language from french canada to english usa
Loading editor- Loading editor
So , The Fix Work.
But If you want to switch back to french , it stuck again
I had to buy physical copy and delete/reinstall all with physical copy to be able to play in french.
Loading editorits been almost 24hrs and im only at 25%.....God bless living in the boonies! Any way to speed it up? im on xbox 1....

Sadly, no. Like I said, it all depends on your download speed. If you have any digital games, or if you ordered ESO on digital, you can play other games to make it feel quicker.Sorry that this is the only suggestion I have.
Loading editorIt's been 20 hrs and it still reads only 1 % I would appreciate some help
Loading editorYou may need to restart your download, if it isn't your internet. One time I had to delete the game before it would completely update.

Mine has been going for two whole weeks! I don't know if it's the terrible Australian internet or something else but it still isn't done 😭
Loading editorMy game is downloading at about 3mb/s average and it's done 42% so far, it's been about 24 hours, looks like it'll be done a little over two days 😣😭
Loading editorIf your game gets stuck wait 2 hours if it hasn't progressed after 2 hours then restart your download.

Okay, I'm at day 4 now and at 18%. If you're game takes under a day to download consider yourself lucky.

the quickest time i know of is 9 hours and 45 minutes it took me and my friends each 12 hours or more to download it and by the way if your internet is that slow that its taking you over 4 days then you shouldnt download it you will probably lag if you play or disconect really often thats what happened to me when they added the first dlc and updated the graphics my pc couldnt run it anymore so i disconnected from the game a lot and it lagged when it loaded new parts of the world when i was walking or riding my horse around when i went to a new area iy the area all black and shadowy
Loading editorgoing to find better internet 2 days in 12k MB left......
Loading editorMine was at 13% on my Xbox so I decided to play a different game because I thought it would still go up. It didn't now I'm back down to 5%
Loading editorxbox one, installing from disk, im at 15 hours and 51%
how is this ok to them
Loading editorOkay I'm at 79% but it goes faster at night because no one is using the internet. So far for me it's going great. Also my friend told me that Xfinity is the best internet for online gaming because she can have a lot of people connected to it and it works well.
Loading editorI have downloaded and went through the update twice for me and my kid mine took a couple days to update im going on the 4th day on his update and at 47% were on Xbox one and as far as I know all Xbox one game updates take atleast 24 hours 😡
Loading editorI played it during the Beta, don't remember it taking so long back then. trying to reinstall it now and it's literally reached 100% multiple times and then reset to 0 to start over again of it's own accord. It also started out with an abysmal 1mb/s and is now doing about 20mb/s it's been maybe 16 hours and it's almost 4am. I just wanna play it
Loading editorNo excuse. No other MMO with large size takes that long to download and install. This game is big enough and funded enough to fix that.
Loading editorI purchased the base game on Xbox one through the store and after over 16 hours with the console constantly on the game update is still at 16%. And it's been at 16% for the last 10 hours.... I don't know what to do but wait it out.

You should probably check your internet connection then. It shouldn't take that long, so either your connection is sub-par or you don't have enough storage (which also sucks).
Loading editorI am having the same issue the game is taking forever to install. I've had connection speeds of 10-25 Mb/s and after 13 hours, the game is still downloading.
Loading editorIt's download enough to where it says ready to start but if my controller goes off will it stop downloading?

No, it shouldn't.
Loading editorTook me around a little more or a little less than 48 hours on my Xbox (but my wifi is crap honestly)
Loading editorGo to settings go to power & startup. go to power mode & startup then go to power mode and select instant on. then turn off your Xbox it should go faster.
