Ideas on downloading Diablo 3 Beta:

So after watching the videos on the [official] leak of diablo 3, it got me thinking.. if this stuff is on the web (as he was using a launcher to download it) then there MUST be a way to get our hands on the files early to data mine (even if we can't play). That is assuming this video wasn't recorded on-site at blizzard.

Okay, so where does blizzard host it's downloads?

Using battle.net I've gathered a collection of places and I'll do my best to walk everyone through what I've been doing so far but atm I'm stuck :/

ftp.blizzard.com - /pub/

http://eu.media.battle.net.edgesuite...-Installer.exe

https://eu.battle.net/account//manag...B&platform=win

https://eu.battle.net/account/downlo...B&platform=win


First of all I tried searching through the public ftp directory (didn't think I'd have any luck) and I didn't find anything Diablo 3 related.

I then tried using the second link I've listed assuming that since it doesn't use https that the server can be accessed without a battle.net login, however I've had no luck accessing the ftp servers from eu.media.battle.edgesuite.net...

The third and fourth links are kind of grouped as to where they download from, the only thing that changes is "download-wow-client" to "download" in the URL bar.

Checking the source of the battle.net game pages I've found a diablo 3 directory to start in



so I then tried various combinations of https://eu.battle.net/account/downlo...B&platform=win

changed platform to mac and trying different languages (heard somewhere that there was a family alpha release in Russia and Korea or something).


after watching the video for any more hints on the download link I noticed that the region was "PTR"



So then tried https://eu.battle.net/account/downlo...B&platform=win

and it threw an error at me



So that's where I am now... I still need to look through the d3 javascript file and see if I need to have certain cookies to download or whether or not I need to have a battle.net account with access to the download. Help/Ideas would be appreciated.



some more maybe useful stuff:

version is 0.2.0.7200 BETA



"show d3" doesn't throw an error

Its true, obviously that you can get to the client without having the beta, but you cant play unless your bnet account gives you access

okay so I found another diablo 3 icon.... not really being very useful here :/

I was reading the html and noticed "/account/local-common/images/game-icons/wow.png"

So I put https://eu.battle.net/account/local-...e-icons/d3.png into the URL bar and well...

I am trying to dl as many files as i can using wget from the us.battle.net site...if i find anything useful i will let u know.

I have been trying to figure out a way to download the client as well. No luck so far.

Blizzard will probably use a protected URL to prevent people who doesn't have the beta from downloading the installer. All we can do is wait until someone upload the installer somewhere.

[cpjohn]

Ok Guys!, Just tested to launch the game etc, So here is a Picture when im still downloading game, as u can see MPQ etc is included! can a nice guy Make a sweet sandboxie now ?

BTW !!!!! When i were clicking on the links in the launcher it redirected me to some Copy of the WoW Site, tho i got 5 lvl 80+ on Wow but i couldnt choose them or nothing, not even look at my account.. something is very wrong here...

If i choose to press " Parental Controll " i get here first : http://enus.nydus.battle.net/D3/enUS...ental-controls Ten like 2-3 secs i come to Blizzards site!
Probably a Keylogger or something in this installer..


Notice plz the folder is only on 125 Files, im using AVG Internet Security Full version, u can see u just updated my virus program for updates, tho it found nothing.
I also scanned the Installer File, which contained 66 files or something went out clean with AVG -

Dude, really? it diddnt work because you are not in the closed, F&F "beta"

Also that Malformed url is interesting. but someone please break the autolink on it because it points to

http://enus.nydus.battle.net/D3/enUS/launcher/parental-controls

after a quick whois, that looks like a legit blizzard DNS. never mind. interesting.

Your not gonna be able to login in unless your B.net is opted into the D3 BETA.
