Okay my turn here, did a bit of research so bear with me and let's see if this can get us anywhere (or not).
Here is what we KNOW that has been confirmed at 99%:
There were leaked infos regarding a patch as can show us Google's way of ass-caching webpages:
Click on this link, it's safe, look at the URL it's Google.com, it's nowhere near a keylogger:

You will get only ONE result that returns that a file patch named WoW-3.0.1.8303-to-3.0.1.8334-enGB-patch.exe DOES exist and upgrades WotLK from the build 8303 to 8334 for the enGB (European) region.
Now if you take a second to think about it and if you're used to know the naming schemes Blizzard has been using for nearly 3 years now; we can safely assume that if an enGB patch DOES exist as confirmed above, there MUST be it's enUS counterpart.
It really is simple logic, simple as that.
Okay, now onto next part, if you're familiar with the way Blizzard distributes it's patch files, you'd know they're always distributing patch files via peer to peer and that if a patch file named -patch.exe DOES exist as show above, there should be another proper -downloader.exe file to download the afformentionned patch, you're still following me there, right?
So the best guess would be that files named WoW-3.0.1.8303-to-3.0.1.8334-enUS-downloader.exe & WoW-3.0.1.8303-to-3.0.1.8334-enGB-downloader.exe are respective downloaders for the patches WoW-3.0.1.8303-to-3.0.1.8334-enUS-patch.exe & WoW-3.0.1.8303-to-3.0.1.8334-enGB-patch.exe right?
Okay, now onto the next and more interesting part, shall we?
What we know that is CONFIRMED at 100% is that the URL [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] exists and if you point your browser to it you will most likely get a HTTP 403 error saying you're NOT authorized to view/list/display the contents of what's on that website.
Now this is the hardest part, assuming the WoW-3.0.1.8303-to-3.0.1.8334-enUS-downloader.exe DOES exist and is available for download on the official website, all we have to do is find the correct directory structure/pathing for the file:
That's where the tricky part goes on:
If you attempt to do a [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] you will also get a HTTP 403 error, denied.
From this point, speculations could go wild and you could always do a random guess of smart/obvious keywords such as:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Unfortunately all these will return the same HTTP 403 error as the base URL with the exception of one keyword (directory):
If you try the following link you will instead get a different type of error...
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /alphaff/WoW-3.0.1.8303-to-3.0.1.8334-enUS-downloader.exe on this server.
What does it exactly means? does it means I have guessed the RIGHT location for the file but then I'm not authorized to download the file?
Not sure, but I could tell you the speculations could go on and on and on.
Not sure if anyone familiar with Blizzard schemes of directory/tree structuring can get anything out of this but in case you do, feel free to post a reply here with any interesting findings you may do...
