MAC Install Help (Realms Offline)

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I'm having an issue with all three servers being offline.

I'm on mac, downloaded the 23 gb torrent off the main site, downloaded the launcher you guys recommend (http://wowsource.info/index.php?/topic/2680-wowsource-official-548-mac-client/)

I've put the wow mac launcher in the 23gb file, and added

SET locale "enGB"
SET installLocale "enGB"
SET realmlist "mop.freakz.ro"

to the wow launcher wtf file. Input my username/ pass, realmlist opens, I see the three realms, but they're all offline. Any ideas what might be wrong?

(P.S. the wow mac client tutorial that I linked above says to add 'SET realmlist 127.0.0.1' to the WTF file. I've tried having both that line and the enGB/installlocale/mop.freakz.ro lines together in the wtf file, as well as just the enGB/insta/realmlist lines. Neither seem to work.

Thanks guys

I'm no expert but 127.0.0.1 is a local ip, setting the realmlist to that IP would be like connecting to your own server If I'm not wrong.
Hope this is comment is not considered as spam, just trying to give you an insight of how this works.

But as I said, I am no expert so don't take this as a solving method.

Hey guys. I'm on a mac too. I downloaded the WOWSource Client but my mac doesn't allow it. “WoWSource 5.4.8” can’t be opened because the identity of the developer cannot be confirmed. Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the App Store and identified developers. This is the message I get. I tried to change the settings and to press the Open Anyway button, but I get the same message. What should I try?

You have to change your security preference to allow the installation of 'unknown program'.
Search google for how to do that.

System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> General -> click on the lock in the bottom left corner to make changes -> enter your passwort to confirm -> check "Allow apps downloaded from: Anywhere"
