WoW download not registering as TBC

[Firesnails 0]

I used the mediafire download link from https://www.dkpminus.com/blog/wow-2-4-3-download/ and I believe I followed the proper steps for it to launch but when I try to connect to the stress test it acts as if its offline. The real problem is when I try to connect to the PTR#2 it tells me I'm missing TBC download files. The website stated that all I would need to do was download and run the setup and change the realmlist and I've done all that, what did I miss or mess up?

The stress test server isn't live yet for connection. 11 more minutes.

Hey Zancon. When it release, the new TBC server, will it be all fresh? Except those transfers from vanilla? What happens with this one ehich is live, a 'beta' one?

The server will be completely wiped before it goes live. Then transfers from NH and NG will be allowed to copy. Then Launch. Today is just a basic stress test to see what server and core issues we might still have so were going to try our best to crash it to get data to fix it. That way when we go live for real its more stable. For today we did a blanket copy on the entire Nighthaven database so soon when it goes live you will see everything you had on Nighthaven as of a couple days ago when we did the copy.

For my problem above I just had to redownload/install it again, must have gotten corrupted somehow.
