How would it be any different to download the DAT file directly if the problem is YOUR slow internet connection?
If you connection is maxed out, Torrent can’t bypass that limitation (and neither can a file download from a website). The problem is your slow connection and I don’t see how that is Anet’s problem to fix.
If you purchased a DVD of an MMO with the belief that NO updates would be required that’s also a mistake on your end…..all games (and especially MMOs) have updates that are required to play (especially on-line).
I’m not trying to be mean, just explain that your issues are not something Anet can or will fix and your belief that they should is simply your misunderstanding of how you believe this process (playing an MMO on-line) should work.
As far as a suggestion to obtain the DAT file more quickly, I can only suggest you find a current GW2 player near you location and ask to copy their DAT file and copy it to your game folder (overwriting the one that is attempting to be downloaded).

When I bought the game 2 years ago, I had 1mbs so it took me 2 days to download the game.
Also, the % indicate the number of files, not the total size of the game. That 8% may be 100 files of 1gb each. The next 100 files may be 1mb each so you’ll have another 8% in no time.
Anyways, since the game is bigger now, it should take more than 48 hours to download ith 1mbs but obviously, you are closer now :P
