Acess Denied

..Retrying every 3 minutes?

Yeah. Apparently Blizzard bug search every 3 minutes

EDIT:

Ok... so what does it say when you click 'download'.
A box pops up, right?
Click 'Save'

No download box comes up, no. Im using chrome.

Urgh. I don't know Chrome.

Switch to Firefox/IE just for downloading the downloader then.

Meh.
Im trying to copy WoW over from a friends PC via Sharing (Is Caring) and when I try to do it it says acess denied and says that I need to enable acess and such, its called Skrivskyddad in swedish, not exactly sure what itd be called in english. "Writing Protection" maybe.. I doubt it. But anyway, does anyone know how to make it so I can copy it over?
In other words, how I can disable whats blocking me..


Guys, its WoW, I can download it free from blizzard if I want. I have a subscription active. I have the discs. But I want it on my netbook, and id like to have it today. Now, I dont have a disc drive on my netbook so thats out of the question and im lanning so id prefer to play it while im lanning.

Make sure the computer you're grabbing it from is shared and you have access to it (right-click C drive > sharing > etc). Not really much else to say.

I can take most of the stuff from him, just not all of it.

HE HAS BOUGHT THE GAME PEOPLE. HE JUST WANTS A COPY ON ANOTHER PC AND DOESN'T HAVE HIS DISKS WITH HIM.

Jesus...

Google Chrome is likly too new, so the Blizzard site probably has no idea wtf it is, your better off opening IE (if it's not on your desktop, check under program files on your start menu) and trying it that way, then saving the client to your PC.

Not that I dont have the discs with me, I dont have a disc drive, but yes, youre right.

 

[Sevre]

why play wow? its boorinng. Dont play it, problemb solved

You, sir, are fail.
The man asked for help, and we shall help him.
Within the boundaries of the law, that is

From what I've seen in this thread you're not a big help at all.

I would get a USB, copy the client to it, then stick it in the netbook.

That's how I got Guild Wars on mine.

You still have to buy the game, and from *Cough* personal experience, you can play on private servers. Subscription not needed.

And the private servers are also illegal.

No they're not. Blizzard doesn't like them but that doesn't make them illegal to play on and it's legal to host one.

Erm correct me if I'm wrong, don't you need the individual CD's from the official versions to co-incide with your newly created account anyway... So what he's doing isn't illegal, he's just reusing already owned merch.

... I've tried a private server once...disliked it, never went back. Just wanted to see if I could play a caster... and would you believe it, I sucked. So I'm forever staying melee.

Ermm Can't help you dude, I suggest just downloading it fully again to your other computer.

Really, just download it again, I KNOW it's a royal pain, I've had to do it 3 times... But it really is the only way. There's alot of copyright protection on copying the data outright.

 

[lacktheknack]

You could have just downloaded it for free yourself, and avoided the whole stupid mess...

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Guys, its WoW, I can download it free from blizzard if I want.

Then why not do that and save yourself the trouble?

And, yes, it's the same client, and yes, copyright laws are fucked up.
But it's still against the law

I call this fact into question.

It is so.
I've been to court, and payed a ridiculous fine (the game + 'damage issues', which is apparently 3 times the original value of the game).

Are you SERIOUSLY trying to say that distributing FREE software between lan'd PCs is an offence?! And that you paid four times the value of the initial online account license merely because you copied aforementioned FREE software?

I call bull... Otherwise you should have words with your lawyer

I. Copied. WoW. From. A. Friend. And. I. Went. To. Court. For. It.
Slow enough for you?

Yes.
Because the copyright law is fucked up and they didn't realize that I already owned the game

Hah, so you should most definitely sue your lawyer.

Edit: there's also the small point of HOW THE HELL DID THEY FIND YOU?! did your friend sell you out lol?

 

[Mr.Squishy]

skrivskyddad = writing protection
That's all this scandinavian non-wower can add
