Sounds like a router/firewall problem. What error does the updater give you? Is the light green/yellow/red? Did you follow Blizzards instructions to create exceptions within your firewall to allow the Blizzard Downloader to function?

You know, with your 3 gaming problems all update-related, could it be that (drumroll) they're all related?

I suspect a router problem, but then again I jump to conclusions.*

In most situations it basically is the router giving problems, I've had it happen to me the same with different patches, but not one after another. I had my brother in law fix it though, so I really can't tell you what it was, just that the problem originated from the router.

It doesn't give me an error, it just stays on 0% forever.


Also, I don't have a router.

 

[Kuro Neko]

If not that, then it's due to a firewall blocking, did you open the ports 3754 - 6112 or something like that on all nessicary programs, like windows firewall and any antivirus programs? I did that if I remember correctly and it let me download faster. It could be that problem, but if you don't get that message, I'm not sure what it could be.

 

[Renzokuken]

Run Blizzard troubleshooting on the downloader. If it's not a router problem then it's an easily-fixed problem.

These four errors didn't all happen at once, it's just I'm hoping someone here can help me.
