Heyo Blizzard,

I have fast internet, I can download from anywhere else and it’s fast. Download from your app, and OML it is so freaking slow… When are you going to listen to your customers and actually SPEED UP YOUR CONNECTIONS?

Even better UPGRADE YOUR HARDWARE or something cause damn… I downloaded a 150 GB game off another place and downloaded in a minute… Download COD BOCW from your app and it’s been 5 minutes and it’s slow as hell.

All limits in the app is removed too.

It has been like this for years and Blizzard never acknowledged it.
I am dowloading a 2g patch, it’s been 20 min and I’m only at 11%.
Great service Blizzard.

I’m a fellow player and do not work at Blizzard. I decided to reinstall Diablo IV today to check a few things out, but the speeds seemed pretty good to me. Keep in mind that the speed of internet service is measured in megabits and the launcher is displaying megabytes (bigger); the max download speed on the launcher won’t match the max speed of the internet plan.

I recommend checking the terms of service with your internet provider, as it sounds like they are throttling your downloads. Gaming traffic is often deprioritized, especially in the U.S.

I was having the same issues, slow download going 20kb. Looked around for fixes and found one that helped, it was on reddit.

  1. Pause Update

  2. Go into BATTLENET settings and limit download speed to 100kb/s

  3. resume download

  4. After 5-10 seconds of letting download run, go back into settings and remove speed limit

MAKE SURE YOU PAUSE THE UPDATE or it wont work.

Once I did that it went full speed.

I guess this will work until the next update.

want to add my fix only worked for a little bit.
Another fix i tried was resetting the WMI

  1. Press Windows+Q and type this into the search bar that pops up:
  • cmd
  1. Right-click on Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator
  2. Enter the following commands into the command prompt window one at a time. Press Enter after each command. Any time you get a confirmation prompt, confirm the prompt. One of the commands may also tell you the WMI service is already started. This is okay.
  • net stop winmgmt
  • winmgmt /resetrepository
  • net start winmgmt
  1. Now, exit the command prompt and restart your computer, then retest running the Battle.net application.

Now to see how long this one lasts.

Maybe blizzard should pin a post with all the fixes people use so others dont have to search for hours and can play their games instead.

Above fix worked for a bit and back to downloading at 1-100Kbps
this is getting beyond a joke now. This isn’t something that has popped up in the last few days this is a thing that has been going on for a long time.

Blizzard how about asking another company that has a store front on how they get things working.

3 hours to download a 50MB update, what a joke, this isn’t dial up.
