Okay, I know they have support pages for this on Blizzard's site, but I'm still having trouble. I had to do a clean install of Windows 7 and wiped all my partition data, so today I figured, "hey, I'll download StarCraft II!" But the problem I'm having is it just sits with nothing downloading. I look at the connection log and it continues to try and connect to :3724, but it fails and retries over and over. I disabled my firewall, and that still isn't doing it. Are universities typically blocking those ports, or am I doing something wrong?

Its probably blocked by the Uni if your firewall is actually down and not just pretending to be down. You'd normally have to port forward past the router but that may not be an option :S. Also blizzards downloader is shit but try setting it to direct download rather then a torrent download as you might possibly be able to do that.

Thanks

I've heard that Hotspot Shield works for blizz stuff if you're at a Uni. I haven't tried it, no idea how it works or anything like that, but you might want to look into it if you run out of options.

It didn't work, but thanks anyway.

Try disabling the peer to peer connection on the options menu. The downloader will then use HTTP downloading rather than the torrent based PTP download.

Well, I just realized I still have the DVD, so I popped it in there and now I'm all set. Thank God I didn't throw that away...

Universities (particularly in the U.S.) are internet-nazis. Don't expect to be able to use any form of peer to peer software on a university network - unless you know for a fact that the network admin is a moron, in which case you can use certain tricks to bypass his crap. Your link leads to this thread.

Dude, you just blew my mind.
