![]() ![]() Bandwidth (aka data allowance) is used up when people view the websites pages and download the websites content.ģ. Then they slapped a crapload of their adverts all over the place and started profiteering on other sites links! And people disagree with WoW Interface and Curse for stopping this? Has anyone here ever owned a large-scale popular website before? Ever!Ģ. WoW Matrix never hosted the AddOns on it's own website, it used hotlinking and grabbed the download links from either Curse or WoW Interface so as to not waste bandwidth on it's own part. Secondly, WoW Matrix liked to host a ton of links that were actually links to WoW Interface and Curse. This is against copyright and intellectual property rights and is highly illegal. They never used to give credits to the people, they removed all donation links and website links in the AddOn itself and claimed the AddOn was theres. I'm also bloody %^&*ed off at all the really idiotic posts over here.ĭo people even know why WoW Matrix is blocked? Did no one ever read this topic on WoW Interface? Or was I the only one?įirst off, WoW Matrix are greedy little bastards who were and are trying to take credit for AddOns they never created. That said, it is possible for a malicious addon to attempt to call an invalid command from the server (such as an item link that does not yet exist on your server) which will cause you to disconnect immediately, but I imagine that's a rarity (and the addon would not gain popularity either).Īs far as I'm concerned WoW Matrix can stay dead in it's grave. Of course, most sites (not just Curse) are vulnerable simply via the advertising they run, which is also why I run Firefox with Adblock and Noscript.Īddons specifically can only interfere with the game's interface itself, as they are text files that run through WoW and thus cannot create problems or vulnerabilities in your system. I generally shy away from sites like Curse and its program, unless the mod I want is only available from there, since it has been targeted by malware in the past. You do not need to patch through all the versions individually before installing expansions.Īs for addons, I manage them manually as well. Thus, you would install Vanilla, BC, and WotLK from your discs, download patch 3.1, then patch 3.1.1. For example, WoW is currently patched to version 3.1.1. Note that if you are downloading patches manually, you only need to download the latest major patch, and all minor patches after that major patch. When I have to reinstall from scratch, I use Filefront, as it does not cap download speeds. ![]() Try using a mirror site that hosts the patches wholesale. So the issue is the launcher is unable to download the patches? ![]()
