How does the Blizzard Downloader work?

The Blizzard Downloader allows users to download large files using a peer-to-peer protocol. Each person downloading the file will offer a portion of their upload bandwidth to allow other users to download the same file. By using the upload bandwidth only, the individual user will not see a decrease in their download speed – in fact, the more users there are downloading the file, the faster everyone’s individual download speed will be. The Blizzard Downloader is only active when you are downloading files, and only accesses files associated with the data that you are downloading. Blizzard will not access or upload any other files, or obtain any personal information about you as a result of this activity.
