I’ve been downloading the game for 2 days and I’ve got 15GB down. Unfortunately, my computer crashed. When I tried to get back into the download client, there was a window that said something like “Recovering Data Archive” and that’s fine or whatever. But then it disappeared and the download is starting over from scratch! I really need help getting the client to start off from where I left off. I have a very slow internet connection, so it’d be really, really inconvenient to have to start over from scratch.

To be clear, I’m not saying “scratch” as in 0%, but scratch as in 260k files left to DL, as opposed to the 40k that I had left.

Check to see if the gw2.dat file got set as read only?

The % downloaded is % of the remainder. Does it start out at 260k and quickly go down to 40k after a minute or two?
