Re: hell ya.
IIRC, Blizzard Entertainment uses Bittorrent to transfer updates for World of Warcraft... |

| .. and since you only download them, you should not be affected by the torrents, right?
Or wait.. is blizzard using the last mile end user to distribute their software in which they are being paid for by the end user? If so, then other "end users" are uploading the files FOR Blizzard. (I know the answer to this and am being obvious about something)
It's not your fault that Blizzard updates are being slowed down.. it's not Comcast or any other ISP's fault.. it's Blizzard's fault for not running their own data centers to upload the patches for you to download.
Blizzard, like any other revenue generating business, should not be distributing their patches on the backs of the ISP's last mile users.. they are collecting money each month from the end user in order to operate their business.
Where is the outrage from the paying users of Blizzard for this shoddy practice in the first place?

Benton, AR | Wow, if "that ain't the telco line," I don't know what is.
Do you work for AT&T?
If Blizzard's customers have a problem with it (they clearly do not) they can buy software elsewhere. That's capitalism. |

| Thanks for the laugh.
Your focus is on the wrong area... for one, I'm a former customer.. dropped them for all their BS .. tired of their faulty patches and tired of their inability to put out a maintenance schedule that doesn't work.. tired of them allowing cheats on the system and tired of them taking away resources because of their faulty programming.
Do I work for AT&T? Give me a break.. what a total and complete moronic, stupid, idiotic come back... if you knew anything, or bothered, you'd know else wise. |
