With me it was 13GB. That's pretty insane! With my bad internet connection, it's going to take me many, many hours to download :/ Obviously, nothing against Zos or their work, i'm very grateful for this update :)

    Yes, the content may be a large file, however you must remember that most of the files are being re-written... I believe. So a lot of the content is not really new per-say... just replacing the old is all. So it's not taking too much more of your SSD/HDD.

    Yes, it may take a while depending on how much you spend/fast you provider allows.

    Loved they really did a great job on this update. They just need to do what Blizzard does and have launcher download in background then day they release the update it just needs to patch. It will really cut down on people complaining about the size.

    very true, although wow is a really big download, you can get into the game after like 5-10 minutes and just let it download in the background while you quest.
