"The size of this patch is approximately 2.6GB."

Did I miss something in the patch notes? How could those small changes possibly be that large.

    Typically in patches, what is being patched is not just what is presented in the notes. Sometimes they sneak in data for future patches.

    So when an actual "big" patch comes, the data that needs to be downloaded is minimized a bit as some of it is already present.

    If a module (like the LFG tool) was designed in such a way that a small change meant having to roll out the entire module again, it could easily be that large or larger.

    EDIT: The size of the change doesn't necessarily correlate with the size of the download. You may be redownloading stuff that wasn't touched because it was packaged with something that was.

    It could also be a lot of Audio changes. I have noticed that the NPCs are saying more unique things and some sounds are fixed often in these patches. There were a few threads that talked about Audio issues where the Community Managers posted that they would fix these with the next available patch. So, this might be it.

    If this is the case, it would be nice if they would say, "Fixed some Audio Issues"
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    .2 Gb is for what they fixed.

    The remaining 2.4 Gb is for what they break.

    True downloaded size never exceeds ~300-500mbs.
    Don't know what are they talking about.

    It's ok, I'm sure you can just roll dodge away from any mistakes they made.

    Accelerator's not gonna work, it's most definitely throttled at the server.
