If you're downloading PTR for the first time, it's possible to get a ~1GB download instead of ~10GB by copying files - details within

Post Body

Step 0: Uninstall the PTR version of the game if you've started downloading it already (Options > Uninstall by the logo).
Step 1: Copy the entire Overwatch directory (current version of the game) to the same place in your file system, and rename the copy to Overwatch Test.
Step 2: Install the PTR version of the game to that Overwatch Test directory. Don't use the "Have it installed already" button, as it won't properly recognize the game's files.
Step 3: You should now have a significantly smaller download!
