Can't update. fix it.
I am unable to update as well. Never goes above 30kbps. I did a speedtest on my internet and it hit 60Mbps. I can access everything except guild wars 2.
I tried running -repair, and it couldn’t connect to the Anet servers.
I tried moving GW2.exe to a different directory and it never got to the point where it would download a new .dat file after 2 min.
I am on Comcast internet. I had nearly this exact same issue when the last story patch came out at the beginning of December.
I’ve been trying to run the client for a half hour now, and it’s still telling me Connection error(s) retrying… Anyone know of a way to fix this?
I think I figured this out. I plugged in a USB wireless device into my desktop and connected to my Verizon wireless hotspot, and everything worked great. I think Comcast must be throttling the Anet update server because of all the traffic it generates on patch day. This happened to me on the last Living Story patch along with a lot of other people using Comcast.
check this worked for me
TLDR: “C:\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” -assetsrv 93.188.135.37:80
I have AT&T and am having the same problem. It’s been a little over 2 hours, and I just hit 99%. Download keeps going to 0kb/sec and sitting there. Haven’t seen more than 46kb/sec.
It has to be Comcast

HA! This works. Confirms my suspicions on Comcast throttling the primary download server.
I’m having this issue too. It was stuck at 99% for hours so I closed the window and reopened it. Now it’s stuck at 0%. I also have Comcast
I was unable to download the game client when i got my new pc in mid december, then it took forever to get the last patch, and now this patch is taking forever and doenloading extremely slow (its been an hour and a half on this update so far)
Having the same issue. I blame Comcast. Evil empire. As soon as Google gets to where I live I’m out. I’d leave now, but they are the only provider. So bad.

This also worked for me.
I am also on Comcast, and had no problems with any patch prior to the pre-Wintersday patch. The last path and this one have both given problems.
Same here for this patch and last.
