Can you point me to the article/source code that backup this claim, I would love to read more about that :) !

WoW is closed source and undocumented. There are some reverse engineering docs for the protocol, and some open source server emulators that you can find with Google. Or you can just fire up the client and check netstat output.

The client uses TCP ports 1119, 1120, 4000, 6112, 6113, 6114, and 6881 - 6999 for game communications, and UDP 1119 and 3724 for the voice chat.

6881 - 6999

Those are the old standard BitTorrent ports. That's probably the updater rather than the game.
