World of Warcraft Patching Error


Ok, I have just recently installed Linux on my computer.
I have gone back and forth between Mandrake 10.1 and Ubuntu. (I'm currently using Ubuntu.)

My problem is this:

I use the newest version of both Point2Play and Cedega, and while I can get World of Warcraft to install and run, whenever I try to download the patch via the Blizzard Downloader, I get this error: "Data written to disk has failed verification multiple times. It is possible that your hard disk is corrupt."

It will then continue to download up until I reach 99%, at which point it will hang and that error will continue to pop up.

It will also give me an error if I attempt to download the patch off of a website and apply it manually, but, I forgot to write down the error it gives.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game many times, and nothing has worked.

Does anyone have any idea as to what I could do?

Thanks for any help.

You might just want to download the .exe for the patch (off of fileplanet.com or something) and manually run it without going through the Blizzard downloader.

I hate the Blizzard Downloader with a passion, so I try and avoid it as much as possible.
