Problems downloading? These tricks can help
Remove download limit
You can set your download rate in the settings of the Battle.net client. If you choose 0 (stands for unlimited), the client should then use your maximum available bandwidth.
Change region in Battle.net
The download rate in the Battle.net client is linked to the respective region. Fortunately, you can change these very quickly and easily:
- pauses the download in progress
- changes the region from “Europe” to “America” in the client interface
- starts the download again
After restarting the download, you may notice an improvement in the download speed. But there is no guarantee for this.
Use VPN
If you use a VPN, it may be worthwhile if you connect to a server in a country where there is currently no heavy internet usage. With the help of the world clock you can find out where it is, for example, in the middle of the night.
If you have then connected to such a server, restart the Battle.net client and start the download. An improvement in download speed should quickly become apparent.
