Hi, everyone. Just bought guild wars 2 today from fry’s electronics. When I came back home I put in the discs, registered an account and started to download the updates.

Let me start off by saying that I was… scared… when I saw the amount of files I needed to download.

133,660 files

:| dear god…

Anyway, whenever the launcher tries to update GW2, within the first 20 seconds it goes from 150 KB/s to 0.0 KB/s. Sometimes it goes back up and sometimes it just stays that way. However it always goes from ~150 KB/s to ~0-10 KB/s and sometimes back up again. Thus, the game doesn’t update at all or it is just painfully slow.

I’ve never had this sort of problem with any other game I play. My internet speed is kinda bad, but something like this where the speed goes down to 0 KB/s and hardly ever goes back up… it’s never happened to me before.

Any tips on what I should do? Any help is appreciated

Edit – I left the laptop on the whole night and managed to download 2.1 GB- although it still downloaded only 9% of all the files. It still goes down to 0 KB/s from time to time. Looks like I’ll need to dl from some wifi hotspot or something. Either that or I’ll have to wait ~7-9 days as I dl every day -__-
