Re: Problems installing WoW and Burning Crusade

Then it seemed to begin installing again, but it decided to start
downloading 2.5GB of data from the internet. Unfortunately I?m in a
strange broadband blackspot in the centre of London, too far from the
exchange, and I can barely get 512kbps speeds, so downloading 2.5GB
would take a couple of days.

Why should I have to download 2.5GB if I already have the DVDs? How can
I fix this?

You have to do the download. The content on the DVD isn't complete and
current, considering all the recent updates. For example, the TBC install
you did doesn't know anything about death knights, their mounts, etc, all
of which you could potentially run across in the world. Those
multi-gigabyte files contain all that art, among other things.

Sorry to bring bad news.
