Nonsense. That’s what this all is,..

I’ve been trying to download this game for the last four days and it takes about three to four hours to get to one percent.. I’ve even restarted my computer, restarted my router and took down all my firewalls at one point. It’s getting to the point that if this game isn’t downloaded I’m wanting my money back. Why spend fifty dollars on a game that won’t even download? From the looks of it I’m not the only one with this problem either.

A friend of mine plays GW2 and suggested I’d try it claiming it was better than WoW but how am I supposed to know if it is when it won’t even download within a decent amount of time? She said that was wrong and it shouldn’t be that slow but it’s apparently not only me who is dealing with this issue.

Has anybody resolved it or can anybody help and/or explain to me why it’s doing this? The highest I’ve gotten too was 34% and that was last night before I went to bed I got up this morning and it was off so I assumed it finally downloaded but NOPE.. Back to 0%…

why not get the game client from your friend?
Chance are, you are having connection issues to the download servers. This comes and goes, and it dependent on how the internet is feeling that day :-)

You could try downloading it from a bit torrent site. Seeing how your over seas?, that might be faster then downloading the core game from ArenaNet for you.

If you do the BT method, be very careful about the resource, verify the reviews/rating for the torrent. You dont want to get an infected version of the game and have your account stolen.

Ah, you said your friend was in Australia, so I figured you were in that neck of the woods.
I cannot recommend BT sites due to their nature, against these forums. But you should be able to do a simple search on google for ’something’bay, and use their review/rating system to find what your looking for :-)

Just scan anything you download for infections (I HIGHLY recommend AVAST! Free).
