Guild Wars 2

OK…. so here i sit….. 4 hours later and i am still at 0% on the patcher. it starts at 15.00kb/sec and goes down to 0, stops and restarts again. the files remaining is at 7,557 and hasnt moved for 4 HOURS…..If this is a bug, please, for the love of god, FIX IT! i would really like to play the halloween event. But at this rate… i might get in by the middle of next month.

I’m pretty sure the patching speed of Guild Wars 2 or any other MMORPG depends on your internet connection and not ArenaNet, except if there are widely affected server traffic problems which is not the case here. If you’re sharing internet with other people through a router, use public Wi-fi or simply have a poor download rate (non unlimited, or limited traffic — say someone downloads something at the same time as you) from said host, the lag you observe is normal. Personally, I’m getting an average of 500kbps/sec here… though it falls down to 200kbps/sec sometimes.

I had the same problem. I have a verizon jetpack, the problem was the setting of the WWAN. I had to log into the Jetpack and change the setting. After that it is working perfectly.

no its true… Anet has made the worst patcher ever , for ~50% of everyone it has to be restarted after 20mb downloaded or 2% if lucky
