Yes, I know it's EU's screen. But US mirrors are listed below.

http://www.wowwiki.com/Patch_mirrors

Some of us will be raiding tonight, so download the patch ASAP from one of those mirrors if the official downloader is giving you a migraine. I personally use the Wirebrain link. Don't forget to monitor your addons as well!!

At some point this week, I will be making a new post regarding Classic Crap runs. If you want to get some more Exalted reputations done (Hydraxian Waterlords, Brood of Nozdormu, etc), Feats of Strength (Red Qiraji Mount, build a Sulfuras/Thunderfury), or smoke bosses with all your new L80 tricks, now is a better time than ever with the new Rep changes!

By Bornakk:

Due to the issues affecting realm stability, the Battle for Wintergrasp has been temporarily disabled on all realms. We’re actively working to resolve this issue and we’ll provide an update as soon as it becomes available.

Thank you for your continued patience.

About damned time. So uh....how are folks supposed to kill Archavon now?

Other undocumented crap: Most of these findings come from the official forums or website snippets, since there isn't a list set in stone yet. Raiders, beware!

~ "Gotta Go!" is now a 4 minute achievement, but the tooltip isn't fixed. Turn on tracking to see the timer.

~ "Convention at the Ledgerdemain" only requires 4 Northern Stew now.

~ "You Don't Have An Eternity" and "Heroic: You Don't Have An Eternity" were changed in 3.0.8 to read "6 minutes or less" rather than "5 minutes or less." From the outside, this seems to be a gimping of the achievement. However, there's also been a change to the sparks that spawn during the Malygos encounter. They now despawn after a set duration, so you can no longer hold 3+ sparks in place until the most opportunistic time to kill them and build the stack. (from worldofraids.com)

~ The Arcanite Ripper looks like an actual guitar now. SCHWING~!

~ Drake mounts now "glide" just like their flight-path counterparts.

~ Opening some quest items and chests is nearly instant now. Was doing the Mosh'aru tablet quest in LBRS last night for Loremaster, and each pickup was almost less than 2 seconds. Not bad...does this affect the STV Arena box?

~ Mage Blizzard now has a graphical cloud, like Death & Decay. Great...MORE graphical lag!

~ Heigan's Spell Disruption aura is now 30 yards. No more keeping him close to the platform for the sake of cutting corners during the dance :devil:

~ "Spore Loser" now works.

~ Basic Campfire no longer requires Simple Wood. It also lasts 5 minutes.

~ Frosty (the WotLK CE pet) is now as small as the other whelps :devil:

~ Nothing totally new, but Nightbane's Blackened Urn now reads: "Though the urn now appears to be empty, it might still be worth something to a vendor." It's worth 2g. There's a new Urn on the balcony.

~ Skadi the Ruthless is randomly de-spawning during the gauntlet event. Even if you collect the harpoons, he magically vanishes at random intervals unless you heavily outgear the battle. See his Wowhead entry for details.

~ Twilight Torment can no longer be removed during Sartharion + 3 Drakes. Can you say 75k+ fire damage?

~ Gold drops from all 20-man bosses (ZG, AQ20) and Ony have been reduced. The amount varies with each source I've read, so gonna solo them tonight and find out for myself. *grumble*

Guess what? It's Patch Day. Again.

NOTES:

Bug Fixes

* General

- Human females Helms will no longer lift off the character's head during a Special2H animation or during a HoldRifle animation.

* Death Knights

- Howling Blast : The 5 second cooldown will now display correctly.

* Hunters

- All Hunter aspects are no longer on the global cooldown that is shared with other Hunter abilities. All hunter aspects are now on a separate 1 second cooldown.

* Warlocks

o Ritual of Summoning will now function as intended.

Sorry for the bump, but as with all patches, Blizzard always tucks in little surprises (like MORE bugs! Yay!). I'm sure someone in their end of bug testing is saying "If it ain't broke, LOL LET'S CHANGE THAT!"

Oh, and double-check your addons.
