OK, I have the game on my work computer and would love it at home also, but I am on a dial up and I never get all 60MB from the first upgrade of bnet, is there anyway to copy the files over from my work computer and bring them home? How do I know which files are updated?? Has anyone else done this???

I emailed blizzard and asked them if I could download it another way, but no response yet.

Thanks for your help!!

A lot of files are updated. How do you plan on transferring the files? I would just download the updates at work (do you have a Mac?) and copy the entire WC3 directory and take it home.

Sorry, should have been more informative.
Yes I have a Mac at home and a Mac at work. I have tried to copy the entire folder and bring it home, but it is well over 750megs and won't fit on a CD. I actually tried stuffing the folder and it is still to big (even though it is under 700 megs, it WON'T fit on a 700MB CD). I then tried segmenting the stuffed file and put it on 2 CDs, but that didn't work either, I had the latest version (3.00 at the time) but it would give me the bnet relams from WCIII and not the ones with Frozen Throne.

My last idea I will try tomorrow, that is to take my 120GB Firewire drive and try it.

Any other ideas???

PS- for thole interested, I will be posting some screen shots tomorrow here too, look for a new thread though!
