seriously, ive patched from home and at work by opening the ports the patcher asks you to and have never failed to DL patches at anything less than extremely high speeds.
from the faq:

If you are using a firewall, you will need to ensure that ports 6112, 3724, and 6881 through 6999 are open in order for the Blizzard Downloader to connect correctly.

correctly forward those ports to your PC (correctly being the operating word) and report back if you actually cant DL a patch.
> reading is good
i read your post. i responded by saying that using the patcher as intended works better.
