I got a new computer but I really, but REALLY dont feel to install it via the damn 4-5 CDs. Where can I download WoW (and TBC)?

You can get it from the wow website if you'd rather download it instead of the installation disks.

It'd be a lot better to download the client using the disks, but you can also use the Online Client if you have no other choice.

Download them via Mirror Sites, it'll be much faster then doing it through the Blizzard downloader.

If you do copy and paste the World of Warcraft folder from one computer to another, patches won't work. It's pretty easy to create the couple of registry keys though:

I transfered the folder from 1 computer to another via my new USB key (since i lost my previous one damnit).
I had to do it in 2 shots with a 8G key (due to the size of the whole thing, 11G).
It took a whole 6 hours. Transfering from my old computer (with not an high speed usb port) to the USB key took a total of 5:45 hours, while transfering to USB Key to my new computer a total of 15 minutes... lol >_<
I didnt had to do anything special to make the game run.
And now I am just cumming none-stop because every graphic are at maximum instead of minimum and I run at 60-130 FPS instead of 7-11 FPS >_<
I see the stable from the starting zone in AB... before i could not even see the farm! And the zone is just amazingly beautiful!

1) Didnt want to invest in my old computer
2) Didnt want to transfer the old scrap of my old computer into my new computer
3) I didnt mind the wait, was playing some other games while it was transfering :)
