Alright, so I have no clue wtf just happened. Last night I was playing normally with some of mah skynet friends, and today I can't do shit. SC takes a long ass time to load, I have latency, can't DL games ( DL rate is stuck at 0, even if i already have the map ) I can't host, and clicking anything on the screen takes a REALLY long time to load.
Yeah, I don't have the best computer, probably the complete opposite, but this shouldn't have happened over night. I ran all of my AV's ( PC Cleaner, AVG, and malware anti malware ) But nothing has changed.
I'm to lazy to redownload SC right now, but I don't think that would really do anything to help. You guys got any solutions?
None.

By "long time to load," do you mean when you try to start the game, or when you're connecting to battle.net? If the former, then it's at least partially a hardware performance issue.
Most of what you described is a networking issue, though. Have you changed any networking hardware (modem, router, etc.) recently? Has your ISP or IP changed? Have you changed any networking configurations (static IP, port forwarding, permissions, etc.)?
If you're wirelessly connected, try connecting directly to the modem to determine if it's an issue with the router. Try power cycling the modem. Contact your ISP and see if there are any changes or issues on their end.
Like...I'll type in my password @ US East, and it will take a moment for the screen to come up, it used to be instant. No, I havent changed any networking hardware. And even if it did have to do with computer performance, I don't think it would have just happened overnight.
None.

In that case, it's entirely a networking issue. Report results for the following:
If you're wirelessly connected, try connecting directly to the modem to determine if it's an issue with the router. Try power cycling the modem. Contact your ISP and see if there are any changes or issues on their end.
Im not wirelessly connected. I don't think they changed anything, I can play a newer MMO just fine.
None.
Reset your router and modem, might help.
I ran all of my AV's ( PC Cleaner, AVG, and malware anti malware ) But nothing has changed.
What "PC Cleaner" are you talking about? If you're using something that's actually called "PC Cleaner", I highly doubt it's a legitimate program. From what I've looked up, it's a big phishing scam. (think "windows pro antivirus 2012")
..unless you're talking about
CCleaner?
None.
bncache.dat epicly corrupted?
None.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
