Just started up wow got to the launcher and was told there was new tools downloading, restarted it and then it told me next time i exit WoW a new patch will download. I start WoW and exit it, and it starts downloading "WoW-2.4.3-to-3.01-TBC-EU-Update",what is it? since I haven't got told i'm in the beta and this download is 992MB what's going on?

Its the same for US apparently as I am downloading it as well. Perhaps they're having you download parts of the pre-patch in advance to lighten the load when the patch is released/activated.

I don't think it's for Beta. I don't have a beta key, never did and I still got the download.

From a Blizzard poster in the beta forums:
The next major content patch is coming, and it's big. In order to smooth the way, we will shortly enable background downloading of most of the data for this patch. People who use the Launcher and have background downloading enabled will automatically start getting the data. The Downloader downloads faster in general now, so you may want to adjust your background download settings. You can adjust these settings in the Laucher, by visiting the Options page. If you want the fastest possible download, check the "Don't throttle background download". However, note that this can affect the performance of other programs running at the same time.
In all likelihood, you're getting a bunch of the completed graphics changes and related items that are complete while they finish fiddling with mechanics and new abilities.

i checked the EU forums it seems this might actually be true, they are releasing the patch in stages so that when it is actually released, the whole world (of warcraft) isn't downloading it at the same time, as they said "n order to smooth the way",
