Q:

I don’t have a high connection, so… yesterday, my computer was downloading the game and i closed the launcher when the client had downloaded 2 GB(10% progress).

Today i opened the client and i downloaded more 2GB, but the client show me only 10% of progress. I think, the client should be show me something like 20% of progress because i already had 2 GB before.

It starts the % ‘countdown’ again from what it has left to download. You could take it to 99% & then restart & it will show 0% (altho’ effectively it only has 1% left to download) – if that makes sense!

This covers the same thing:

You should also keep in mind that the % counter is based the number files to download and remaining….NOT the actual amount of data being downloaded. Thus a 1kB file will have the same effect on the % meter as a 1GB file…not very useful in terms of the ACTUAL progress of the download.
