WoW Patch Sharing

New to Wow, as is my girlfriend, and I'm looking to give her the recent 3.0.2 patch, as it took me a night to download.

What files do I need to pass over to her (on an iPod or something)? I see some MPQ files and an 'updater' in my directory.

This assumes that sharing it is even possible, of course.

    There should be a folder with the version number like
    C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WoW-2.0.12-to-2.1.0-enUS-Win-patch
    which has the mpq files and an updater executable. I think just copying that folder over should do it.
    I've had trouble occassionally though with WoW not recognizing it and just downloading anyway.

    Copy the \World of Warcraft\Updates folder to the new PC and then run launcher.exe
