Okay i bought Diablo 3 last year, it was just collecting dust on my table so yesterday i decided to install it. After i run the setup from DVD, it installs the game client, then the installation starts, the installation is very slow, i know it downloads some files also as it says, Downloading, and it says 12 GB something.

My question is, is it going to download the WHOLE 12 GB, or just 7-8 GBs and the rest gets installed from the disc?. Because the DVD itself is 7.8 GB. If it has to download all 12 GB, then i'm afraid i can't play Diablo 3, because my ISP has a bandwidth limit of 10 GB per week.

Is the light on the dvd drive flashing to indicate that its reading from the disc?
Chances are that it is actually downloading the game due to so many updates and what not, more then likely pre-downloading RoS expansion, which is what happened to me (pretty sure everyone had to tbh).

Ouch i think it is downloading, for the updates also i guess. I could install the game and then i will have to live with 50Kbps for the rest of the week because of bandwidth cap. I was out of games lol, still waiting to get Thief and Titanfall, until then i have to do with BF4 i guess.
