Downloading mesh: Timeout from www.buddyauth.com:5031

[Benninger]

While downloading mesh:

Loading Kalimdor_41_27
Loading Kalimdor_39_29
Exception when attempting to download Kalimdor_41_25: System.TimeoutException: This request operation sent to net.tcp://www.buddyauth.com:5031/AuthService.svc did not receive a reply within the configured timeout (00:00:30).  The time allotted to this operation may have been a portion of a longer timeout.  This may be because the service is still processing the operation or because the service was unable to send a reply message.  Please consider increasing the operation timeout (by casting the channel/proxy to IContextChannel and setting the OperationTimeout property) and ensure that the service is able to connect to the client.

Can I do something?

are you behind a firewall or something?

I used to have this exact issue, and as far as I'm aware, and as is evident by your post it is still not addressed.

I managed to "get around it" by using a tunnel. I use Widecap and a tunneling service for WoW (horrible pings otherwise) and by chance I decided to route HB through the tunnel and it worked. I've not had that error since.

I don't know - it is the third time I have this issue (always at the weekend) - posted it everytime.
After 1/2 -1 hour it works again - can it be that there is an overload on the auth server?

there is no overload on auth server
The mesh server has a 30 second timeout before it kicks you from trying to download things. Is it possible its timing out due to some aspect of your connection
