Guild Wars 2

I am updating my game and instead of showing a percent of the total Megabytes/Megabits completed it shows the percent of the files downloaded. This is NOT helpful what so ever. That doesn’t mean anything to me. For all I know I am downloading 5000 files in which 4999 of them are 1 megabytes and ONE 5 gigabyte file. thats 10 gigs in total. There is where the percent system that is currently implemented is flawed.

Also how about a remaining time/ETA . I don’t need it to be exact, just something so I kinda know how long my download is gonna take.
ArenaNet if you are having trouble setting this up, here let me help. First you make a system where you know the total download size (also that would be helpful if I could see that). Then you take the total download size and subtract the size downloaded so far. Then you take the total of that and divide it by the current download speed ( and to make it more accurate take the average download speed of the past 30 seconds). There now you have the time remaining by seconds and all you need to do now is divide by 60 to get the minutes and divide by another 60 to get the hours. Its just that should have been something already implemented and I don’t know why I had to sit down and calculate how long it will take based on the percentage that was give (which I though was based on total size divided by downloaded size) only to figure out that it was based on the number of files.

Hi,

I 100% Completely agree with SignatureDeath on this one, very frustrating…
