Why, on this mature game is the downloader such utterly inept garbage?

Can you please copy from Blizzard how a downloader is properly written and fail proofed?

 

I had downloaded 8GB of the patch already, down to 600 MB left.

 

Then comes the nightly IP reset of my ISP and what do I see next?

 

"Error retrieving patch, please check the network connection"

 

So one 15 second drop of the connection suffices to throw away 8 GB...?

 

 

Is there a torrent for this patch, where I can be sure it won't hick-up at random and eat my bandwidth and time for nothing?

 

And get a programmer that knows how to write a downloader!

 

Internet interruptions are not a new phenomenon and any downloader worth his salt has absolutely ZERO issues with resuming, even hundreds of times if necessary.

 

"Come back and join us for Bioware downloading ...err uhh, story telling"

 

What a dog's breakfast
