WoW patches are notoriously slow.

try something like itunes from apple. or a common speed test. please note that even if you can download 800kb/s. not everyone can upload 800kb/s. 2 way street I suppose.

There are links to direct download patches. I forget where. there is also a tool which converts blizzards auto downloaders into a .torrent file which in a real torrent program yields much better results..

also. there's a way to increase your internet speeds. microsoft "reserves" 20% of your bandwidth in default domain settings. it's a bug. but you need to set it to 0. can sometimes increase your speeds.
 
Is the down loader saying that you are behind a firewall? The Blizzard patcher does that and it slows you down. Make sure it has an exception in your Windows Firewall and make sure the ports are opened in your router firewall. You can usually do something like add application, name it, then specify the ports to open, then apply that to the specific PC.
