SC2 Manual Update (?)

Hey guys, to cut straight to the chase, I want to know if there's a way to manually update starcraft2 (I've found a copy of the patch somewhere online to download).

Now the reason why I want to do this is because I'm currently staying at a hotel, and for some reason which is beyond my comprehension, starting up starcraft causes me to be unable to connect to the internet for exactly 5 minutes. I don't get why/how the hell it works at all, especially since I am able to actually play starcraft if I get past the launcher and then reconnect to my wifi. I'm not going to linger on my mysterious wifi outages much since that's not my biggest problem.

My sc2 launcher won't recognize that there's an update because launching it causes me to lose internet connection. I've located a download for the latest patch but I have no idea how (if possible) to manually install it. I've checked the forums here already but the only topics were like 3 years old.

Thanks in advance if anyone can give advice... or if they can come up with a reason why my internet mysteriously derps for 5 minutes after starting sc2.

I don't know if you can, can you disable peer to peer from the sc2 launcher?

Just tried turning off peer to peer, but what difference would that make? I see no change.

If you was getting kicked off because of it, you might have been able to run ok without it

as far as my wifi just not working, it almost seems like a problem with my PC's settings rather than the router has restrictions or something... but I haven't changed any settings on my PC.
If it helps to know other games that I use via internet (steam games) seem to work fine...

Are you on the hotel's wifi if so you might be better off just waiting it out. You can always uninstall and reinstall but that is a major pain.

Unpack the zip and copy content to "C:\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft II\Updates" and try to launch the game? Cant really test as im already patched.
