That's what they've been doing for the year. My guess is that they've decided to do two patches in a row for WC3 (this wouldn't mean that they won't release SC/Diablo patch before c), because they want to white list those button positions.
No they dropped active development for it a long time ago. Even for the hashtable patch they had to specially divert a team away from other projects to work on it and fix the code typecast exploit. Even then it was done badly with many of the GUI actions causing the editor to crash due to incorrect type references. I would say WC3 has not been actively developed for at least 6 years.
Its because they are actually working on patches now. They have full time employed people to work on them as opposed to having to divert other people away from other projects to work on them. As such they could patch as often as once a month if the development cycle allows. The MPQ system is the big hurdle for regular patches as it makes them bigger and bigger each time. If they migrate to CASC and integrate into BattleNet 2.0 (Blizzard) then they could release a patch as often as once a month, as is common for StarCraft II and Heroes of the Storm (which can get many a month).
Log into Azeroth server (US East?). People have reported having problems getting the patch from Northerend (Europe).

No you do not...
You never had to...
Program Files is meant to be for games. Just you need to make the game properly. Specifically the game should not write anything to that folder and instead use appropriate other folders.
Go on...
Look at how StarCraft II operates. Things such as logs, banks, screenshots etc are saved to a folder in the user's Documents folder. Cache files and map downloads are saved to a folder in the ProgramData folder. Temporary files might be sent to the temporary files folder. StarCraft II never writes to its Program Files entry, only the Blizzard Application does, which is signed by Blizzard so can, and only during an update.
OK great, that's how Sc2 does it. How can I make Wc3 do that? Speak to me as if to a simpleton.
Only Blizzard can. As I said...
By "you" I was referring to the people who made the game, not anyone on this forum.
Dr. Super Good, I am referring to the post made by you earlier:
wherein you implied there was something me/us, the end-user, could do to alleviate this issue, rather than Blizzard or whatever.
That is because it is something the user can do.
It is how my Warcraft III folder is setup and why I do not run it as an administrator to work.
nobody keeps IE6 in mind, nobody should keeps this nonsence in mind either. if map is shit even 100kb size wont save it, if its good it may as well be 1gb, it doesnt matter except for snowflakes who think that maps are spreaded via battlenet
You got a max dl speed in WC3 of 10 MB/sec. Reality is though that practically no hosts, especially the robots, have a sufficient ul speed to match that. Most European and American players cannot match that as consumer grade networks have low ul speeds. Some fibre based or shared origination networks can but these are really limited in availability.
Be aware that 20 up often means 20mbit/sec upload which is at best 2.5 MB/sec.
Implying that everyone has a good internet connection or none of those shitty "You may only used this amount of internet per month".
you know, I dl'd once 40 mb via 52kb modem because I wanted to play that game. if it's good, people will find the way.
You play as high elves in the RoC undead campaign? I thought you only played as undead...
You can get control of the High elves using Banshees with possession.
Well, that shouldn't really allow you to build elven troops. Maybe that's what @HDPC2000 considers a bug?
Well, RoC campaign levels are not supposed to be played through TFT.
