Umm, it seems i cant download the patch..when i open wow and log on with my account it brings up the usual character list with the Downloading update thing..then it tells me to restart wow, as usual, then it brings up the blizzard downloader, then the error "could not initialize storage. You may not have permission to write to the destination path"  can someone please help?

Blizzard Downloader has caused a lot of people problems, so I'd recommend downloading the patch from Black's or Shadow's links. There are also some mirrors on the WoW Forums. If you unzip these files to your WoW folder they should be set up properly, and when you run WoW, it will get to that Blizz Downloader and verify that the content is there very quickly, it shouldn't actually download anything. I had problems when P2P was enabled on the Blizz Downloader, so try disabling it under the "File" tab of the Downloader and run WoW again.

extract it somewhere and run "updater.exe" and let it do the rest.
