Appreciate the help. Okay, Well let's start with my first problem.
I woke up, downloaded the first part of 2.4 too 3.0, As I did that the first part went fine, then it came up with a window asking if I wanted to make a new file for the patch and that blizzard would recommend it, so I went too program files and world of warcraft and saved it in there, and then it came up with another window saying something about vista neededing access or something, so I just clicked yes, Then it came up with the second little itty bitty download box, it got too 100% then it came up with an error * I forgot what it said*Something like couldn't open blah blah, Well straight then I went to open world of warcraft, It did, the login screen was the new one WOTLK but it was REALLY REALLY laggy, then I logged in and it came up with another patch screen telling me to reset, so I did, and when I tryed too download this patch it said something like couldn't download this or whatever.
( All of the information is in the wow gen, the topic name is Patch 3.0.2 Halp me plz. )
As of right now I am re-installing the game.
I am getting the same problem. I am running Vista.
Not sure how to clear up the problem. o_o Need some halp too. I DL it, and it goes to the little rectangular DL box. It seems that its DL'ing fine but after that. nothing. I log in and its no new wow screen and just asks to re- DL the 2.4 to 3.0 patch again rinse and repeat.

Hey everyone I downloaded the pre patches last night from download sites,becouse I have dial up and another comp with high speed internet. Ok so I dowloaded the first one at filefront.com 3.0.1-TBC-USMX-Update-par1/second and third one from Arakkoa.com/WoW-2.4.3-to-3.0.1-TBC-USMX-Update-BKGND2.part2---- WoW-2.4.3-to-3.0.1-USMX-Win-Update-BKGND3
Now i extracted the first file ok but the second one is saying C:\programs\WoW-2.4.3-to-3.0.1-TBC-USMX-Update-BKGND2.part2.rar: You need to start extraction from a previous volume to unpack Updates\WoW-3.0.1-to-3.0.2-Update\wow-partial-1.MPQ
Can someone help me?

I've updated WoW on 2 pcs so far. Both were Vista 32bit PCs.
I chose to let it reinstall/move wow to a User folder when I was prompted to do so. For example on one PC, I chose C:\Users\Username\World of Warcraft
On the other, I chose C:\Users\Public\World of Warcraft
Both worked fine.
It's like it basically reinstalls the game to that location. Why Vista is so screwed up that it has to do this is beyond me, when it has worked on Vista in the \Program Files location since, well, forever. I don't get the change myself. Also, the user on both PCs was in the Admin group, so it makes even less sense to me that it needed to be moved.
It works though, and runs fine from the new location. I have had no problems yet. Will update on my XP machine later (doubt I'll have any problems, or that I will need to move anything). If I do, I'll post here.
I wanted to post my experience so far in case it would help others.

Can't even download the stupid patch :(
Run the game: Patch content required, press restart and download the patch.
-Pressed Restart: Get the stupid confirm box thingy in Vista to download it - recieve the error message "Invalid Torrent File."
Run the background dowloader: Get the message "Data for the next patch is not available."
And ofcourse, like always when I have a problem, wow-eu forums are down :<
Any ideas on how to fix it (preferably not installing again).
