Some of you may have noticed slower or laggy connections to the World of Warcraft over the last couple of days. This is because the Blizzard Background Downloader is already downloading files for the 1.11 patch. The idea is to have some of the patch content that is already complete, like sound and graphic files, already downloaded onto most players' machines. That way, the release day patch can be kept small, making patch day easier on everyone.
