have to install whole game again

[CitrusHack]

My friend had recently downloaded Diablo 3 by pirating it and was about 7-8GB. However after installing it, the files contained setups for both Win and Mac OS. Having a windows OS, he clicked onto the setup and then the blizzard app had opened and it stated that Diablo 3 is being downloaded and 16GB MORE had to be downloaded. Now what is the use of the 8gb file that was downloaded if blizzard is asking for another 16GB to be downloaded? Is there another way of downloading it? As far as I've seen theres no iso file or rar file than can be extracted.

I may be wrong, but I think it's for updates.

You see, unlike the older games, updates must be done on the server; patches are no longer offered manually.

It sucks, I know, and that's why I don't play the newer Blizzard games anymore.

Yup, I agree with RobertX, do the updates on the server.
