Since I began playing WoW new patches were always a pain. I was always getting the message: "Your computer appears to be behind a firewall." I tried everything to solve the problem, but not worked. Now with the recent patch I found a trick on how to easily solve this. For me, it was always downloading part by part (jumps of x MB all the time). Maybe if there are other people out there with the same problem, read this.
This is what I did:

First I opened Windows Firewall. I selected it to be active, but allowing exceptions. Then I went to the exceptions tab and clicked "Add Program", then "Browse" and I selected WoW 2.0.7 - 2.0.8. This was now an exception.

Next I opened WoW, filled in acc info and the downloader came, it went up x MB and I pressed close. I opened WoW again, filled in my acc info and again, the downloader went up x MB. I repeated this until it was done downloading.

I hope it worked for you, at least for me it did.

TBH i havent used the blizz downloader in ages , i just go to http://www.wowwiki.com/Patch_mirrors download the patch, and put it in the correct place in your wow directory. then open wow, and it will start the downloader, which will see the file is already there, scan it and then start installing

when the wow2.0 patch was released i was up and running in about an hour using this method , while i guy i work with was waiting over 6 hours for the downloader , hope this helps someone

u can also just go to your WoW files and select the patch u wanna download then click it and it jumps x mb and then cancel and do the same thing again, it goes a little faster but basicly the same
