I've tried both the torrent and the other option in the guide for installing 1.12.1. Everytime finishes its just a .rar file and I can't do anything with it. I never had issue before with installing patches. Any ideas what is causing this or am I making a armature mistake?

they should be working.
yes you get a rar file, you just have to unzip it and its working, WOW is not a game that needs installation.
it requires to be unzipped and placed in a folder.

after that you edit the realmlist.wtf and you are good to go with the wow.exe shortcut in that folder.

I've DL'd both of these and they just end up as a white rar file. Right click there is no option to extract or anything. Am i missing something. I have a new Rig and maybe Im derping haha.

well, to unzip a .rar file you require a unzipping tool.
i preffer 7zip since it can unzip nearly everything and has not extra trashware. ( http://www.7-zip.org/ )
the file should be several GB big.

I've tried all three of the suggested downloads. Unfortunately, the 1st and 3rd sites seem to be down, and the 2nd one just pops up a screen of computer lingo. I have 7-zip and nothing has changed. Help?
