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.

Warlords of Draenor is now live!
It is the era of an Old Horde, forged with steel rather than fel blood. A union of great orc clans, the Iron Horde, tramples the planet Draenor beneath terrifying war machines. Azeroth falls next.

Your allies are legends from across time; your fortress a foothold in an alien land. Lead the armies of one world against another…before the future itself is unmade.

New Dungeons
Bloodmaul Slag Mines

- 4 bosses
Auchindoun

- Level 100
- 4 bosses
The Everbloom
- The Kirin Tor created outposts across Draenor with magical links back to Azeroth to serve as a supply line for reinforcements.

The outpost was quickly overgrown, but it still contains a link to the outskirts of Stormwind…
- Level 100
- 5 bosses
Revamped: Upper Blackrock Spire
- The upper reaches of Blackrock Spire is now home to the Ironmarch vanguard. As preparations to use the Spire as the staging ground for a full-scale invasion of Azeroth continue, the Iron Horde has set up a terrifying contingency plan: a doomsday weapon within the heart of the Blackrock Mountain.
- Level 100
- 5 bosses
Character Boost
- Newly boosted characters in Warlords of Draenor now begin their experience in Tanaan Jungle with a basic set of spells and abilities for their class while becoming acquainted with your new hero. You will gradually unlock new class abilities and mechanics as you take part in a counterstrike against the Iron Horde to shut down the Dark Portal.
Quest System
