    I just downloaded WoW and I got the full game that was like 3+ Gigs. I downloaded it to Desktop and when the downloader said it finished nothing happened and the window just closed. Where did it go? and I would rather not re-download the whole thing considering it took so long.

    It's not there. It wasnt a download from firefox or IE it was a download from Mozilla that downloaded it. And the designated folder was Desktop, but its not there.

    don't fall into the hole that is wow... if you're not careful it will consume all of your free time.

    ^ My friend appeared in town for the first time in weeks after his pc got mauled by a power surge.

    Anyway, on topic: start, search:
    Files created in the last x hours
    Files above 1024 meg in size.

    It can't possibly have that many results!

    From what i understand u used the blizzard downloader, it should have created a folder somewhere on your computer with WoW installation files inside. Check Documents\users\"yourusername"\desktop or whatever the file extension is if you are positive that you downloaded it to ur desktop.
