If I was to download WoW, how big would it be?

I say this cos I have a very small cap....
If it is alot, does anyone know of anyone that is selling the disc's???

 

Yeah dude its a few gigs atleast, not including patches, you'd have to stagger it over a few months which is ridiculous.

 

Fuck that... I have a few big USB's Can I just go down to an internet cafe and download it there and put it on my ipod or something
or better yet go to a internet cafe that already has it, zip it up and chuck it on my computer?

 

Its about 14 GB for ALL the games. Then you add in the patches and I'd say roughly 16-17GB, give or take. If you don't have the space, my advice is don't bother because it could be used for something more valuable.

To answer your question: You could throw it on a USB storage device, but that's stupid BECAUSE you need to activate your account using the CD keys. Without the CD keys your account will be stuck in Vanilla WoW (The first one).

 

I started playing wow 5 months after it came out...
I know how that all works
I have an account with 5 80's
I just never took note of how big WoW was...

 

You activate your account on the battle.net website =/

You can goto an internet cafe and steal(if you can access it) their WoW folder and just run it off your HDD(Like I do).

 

Its not stealing if they don't lose anything? ^.^

This is a pretty good idea and your best bet if you only need the client and not an account.

 

Yeah im going for that then.

 

ive been to a few internet cafes and ive noticed they dont have usb ports on there comps im guessing due to virus's but i live in aus

 

I live in aus too, I know of one that does

 

WoW is pretty big, delete a few things before installing it.

 

Ijust got done reinstalling wow and it's about 26G to bring it up to speed

 

remember that you need extra space, because when you download the cata pre patch which was (4.0?) something like that, it goes over it so the file becomes even bigger. I think I read on the forums you should have around 16 - 20 gig free and then it deletes old files which aren't needed

 

Yeah, I had to re d/l the whole of wow after 4.0.1 because of that.

 

i dont the the exact size of it but i do know that it takes a few hours. i have the discs and i would be willing to sell them to you

 

Depending on how fast your internet is you should only spend about 8 to nine hours downloading the whole thing.

 

I just downloaded from site, it was 14 gigs I believe. thats all i had to do.

 

Its 14.1gb's according to the down loader which as soon as its finished you can play/and during which means patches are included.

 

Thats my wow folder

 

My size, roughly same as insanosky's
