I am no computer expert, but I know my way around them as I have had a pc for about 16 years. I spent hours reading faqs configuring Windows Firewall and my Router and opening all the ports and forwarding it to my computer. (I manually opened all the ports mentioned by Blizzard in Windows Firewall and you can only do one at a time). And I disconnected the router and connected directly to the modem, in case I didn't forward the ports correctly (even though I followed faqs). However after spending hours doing that shit it still didn't work, and now I just download patches from 3rd party sites.
What annoys me is that they are the only online game I have ever played where I had to sit down and read a lot of technical gibberish that I have absolutely no interest in learning just to get the patches down at a reasonable speed. And even when reading all the faqs at Blizzards website and googling my routers configuration info like mad it didn't work.
I have had no problems using Bittorrent for other things, so in my opinion they did something wrong with their download client.
