What version is your Background Downloader at ?

If it's below 2.2.x it won't be sensing the new torrent info to download anything.

Try renaming the latest -downloader.exe file to BackgroundDownloader.exe then starting that up.

Do you have a .torrent file in your Cache folder ?

Go into downloader options and check what's there.

There's a chance you've told it to only download when WoW exits
so "waiting" (for you to start WoW and then exit it) is what it's supposed to do.

I stoped using wow launcher long time ago. Its slow and sometimes wont download for ages. I open the torrent file from cache folder with my uTorrent and DL with over 1,5mb. Alot faster then blizzard own backgrounddownloader

Had a similar prob with the preload. My launcher said there is a new
patch but the downloader said: nope, no data.

I deleted my Updates drawer and the BackgroundDownloader.exe and then
started Repair.exe which fixed it for me ...
