Syslogd freaking out after DLing wow...

[stangdude22]

Finally got WOW to download, the entire time the CPU was around 40-60%, i though this might be normal for some reason. Now, after it was done (8+hours) its still around there. After pulling up the activity monitor, it should syslogd is doing this.

Did some research and looks like syslogd isnt really to blame, just some program that is using to constantly write log files (correct me if im wrong) How do I confirm that this has something to do with the WOW download? I would prefer if at all possible to correct this without re-downloading, but who knows.

Thanks!!

I've downloaded the 2.4.3 update and the test, not paid up ... but didn't run into any issues on the download and install.

Might be an issue that is cropping up while the game is running or on the downloader engine itself.
