hi,
i have tried to download stracraft anthology, warcraft 3 ROC and warcraft 3 TFT which i have done successfully before. However now as i try to download via installer i get the error message:

'there was a problem authenticating your download. please go to http://www.blizzard.com/account/ to start a new download'
(the installer says : 'this download is not authorized')

i have tried running in administrator mode, and the startup thing on both a windows seven and vista machine

thanks :)

There is a timestamp encryption on the downloader. You need to make sure you're downloading the game the same day you downloaded the downloader. Try redownloading it.

Hello Hardcorelt

Sixen is correct. If you are using the downloader that you had before then it has probably expired and you will need to download a new one.

If you already have the installers on your computer than you should be able to use those files to install again.

Technical support needs your feedback. Please take the time to fill out a survey using the link below and tell me how I am doing:
