The next major content patch is coming, and it's big. In order to smooth the way, we will shortly enable background downloading of most of the data for this patch. People who use the Launcher and have background downloading enabled will automatically start getting the data. The Downloader downloads faster in general now, so you may want to adjust your background download settings. You can adjust these settings in the Launcher, by visiting the Options page. If you want the fastest possible download, check the "Don't throttle background download". However, note that this can affect the performance of other programs running at the same time.

As you may have noticed, we released the first part of the background download earlier today. However, this background download is not yet fully active for all customers. We expect that the background download will be active for everyone very soon. So please bear with us if you are given indicators that the background download is ready, but it never starts. It will start soon.

Thanks for your patience.
