Hey im new to this server and i downloaded everything to start playing but im having a problem with installing. Whenever i use the WoW installer for classic client it just freezes at 32 %. If i dont download classic client it wont let me download the BC client. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Have you tried downloading the torrent from other sites? We've had problems with installers being corrupted/broken.

Did you run the installer as admin? Have you tried re-starting your pc and trying again?

Restart computer, scan for viruses, defrag, etc. Typical Windows random problems are random.

No, not at all.

Once you've installed Classic, Install TBC, then patch to 2.4.3 with the patches. Afterwards, edit your realmlist.wtf file and set it to:
set realmlist connect.smolderforge.com
set patchlist connect.smolderforge.com
Save the file, then boot (always) WoW.exe and not the Launcher.

Why would you have deleted the install files before the game was even ready? At least ensure your setup is complete and you can login first before removing anything.

Downloading patches? The torrent has already downloaded the patches for you. If you're downloading anything sounds like you're trying to upgrade to retail.
