They don't have the streaming downloader from Cata beta?
I do what I think is right. But I don't think that what I think is right can not be wrong.

Did I read somewhere stating that will only be available for those whose connection can sustain 1MB/S? If so, that's going to rule out about 90% of the UK.

1MB/s or 1MBit/s?

Well, I have 50MBit/s, so I am fine :P

Mebibyte, to be pedantic. I think the average speed over here nets around 0.3MiB/sec. My parents get a faster connection via 3G than they do ADSL (60KB/s).

ADSL and Cable depend heavily on the usage (the medium is shared at least with cable) and the distance to the base station.

In Romania we have insane speeds apparently. I usually have around 3MB/s. But there were 2 kinds of downloads, the one from the launcher, with 2.5 - 3 MB/s and another one from the downloader, for patch 4 or something, which was extremely slow.

They've made very nice improvements for the UI and for the new players in general
