Pretty much 4 out of 5 times i open the battle launcher i have a new update. For some reason, even after reinstalling and changing the download speed limits, the game still download at an extremely low rate, for example, right now i have a 100MB download in progress and it is only downloading at 13.7KB per second, so in about 10 days ill be able to play again because i needed to install a 100mb patch… seems silly, i need a solution.

I’ve been plagued by this as well. I live in the DC region. The Blizzard launcher is literally the only service I use that is suffering from this at the moment - all Steam downloads and other launchers are fine.
I tried out a VPN and that helped, but I don’t think I should have to use a VPN to get a good transfer rate.
I do know that Blizz let go of a lot of their battle.net team, so probably fat chance we’ll see a solution any time soon.
Already more than one thread about this, so you might check those threads out. Tons of us on various internet speeds have been dealing with this.
Same. Been like this for awhile. Restarting helps sometimes.
I usually pause and restart the download and that fixes it most of the time
The may be a permanent solution if you don’t mind using the beta bnet launcher (I had for over 6 months without issue.)
I was running the beta version of bnet and never had this issue. I had recently uninstalled bnet on my pc and reinstalled and began encountering this issue. (No, there wasn’t a limit on the download speed. I tired with both the box unchecked, then set to 150,000 kb, same results, either way)
It took me a bit to remember I was running the beta version previously, and the new install was the base version.
After updating to the beta version (an option in the bnet settings), the problem disappeared.
Note, the download on the beta will also drop, briefly after the initial pulse… but unlike the live app, it WILL recover… eventually giving me 60+mb/s both times i tried it by installing/deleting Wrath whose download was also broken on the base app (after the beta app had already fixed the DF download issue).
Unsure what the specific differences are between the apps regarding the related code, but tech support needs to look into it and correct the issue with the current production app.
