WoW starter edition REALLY slow download…

So I decided to download the starter edition of WoW.
But I lost interest when I saw the download speed and how long it was going to take…
I can’t get past 10KB/S. Sometimes it even stays at 0.0KB/S.
I tested my connection speed at speedtest.net & I get 16.72MB/S, so it has nothing to do with my connection.
Anyone knows how to fix this?
Kind regards,
Kevin

You try enabling P2P and setting up port forwarding to speed it up?

Mb not MB. The speed is in Megabits not Megabytes.
MB = Megabyte
Mb = Megabit
Answer #2
Where are you downloading it from? Blizzard or some P2P/filehost source?
Edit: Disregard, Smashedr knows how this works better than me
Answer #3
P2P was enabled from the beginning.
And what do you mean with port forwarding?

I just downloaded a small patch today on my 2G connection (0.2Mbit/s) and got full 24KB/s download speed.
Something is wrong on your end.

Well, try disabling it then and just using http download. Unless a major patch comes out, their servers normally run at good speeds.

Google is your best friend!
