- Firewalls*
- If you have a firewall, be sure that it is set up to allow for incoming connections on Port 3724, 6112, 6113, 6114, and 4000 for the TCP (also called TCP/IP) protocol. More information on how to open ports for some popular firewalls can be found on our Blizzard Downloader Networking Help page under the Firewalls section. If your firewall is not listed there or you need more help, please refer to your firewall documentation or contact the manufacturer.
- Important note: Please be aware that many popular firewalls will become very restrictive to traffic when disabled. Please be sure any firewalls you have installed are configured correctly and enabled in order to use the downloader effectively.

- Routers*
- Be sure that the router configuration has Port 3724, 6112, 6113, 6114, and 4000 forwarded to your computer, and only your computer. Having the same port forwarded to more than one computer connected to the router can cause a conflict, which may result in slow download speeds. More information and instructions on how to forward ports for some popular routers can be found on our Blizzard Downloading Networking Helppage under the Routers section.
- Be sure that no computers are in the DMZ (demilitarized zone). If a computer is set up to be in the DMZ, then there may be a conflict, which may cause slow download speeds.
- Be sure that any other computers on the network are not running any programs that utilize large amounts of bandwidth. Remember that a router simply lets all of the computers connected share the connection. It does not increase the bandwidth of the connection!
