Hey all, im trying to download the game using the game launcher.
The download speed is very inconsistant, it goes up to max for a few seconds and then goes down to 0 for a few seconds. you can see it in my Ethernet usage graph:

This is not happening while trying to download other things on my pc so I know this only happens with guild wars 2.
Is there anything I can do?
Thanks.

It seems to happen to many. It’s just the way it is. Some files download quickly, and some do not. Sometimes, there is more traffic; sometimes, less.

You will eventually get there after about 25G (if this is a new or re-install).

Good luck.

yeah its just normal. nothing to be worried about. but once you have downloaded the game, keep it even if you do not play cause even if after a year you want to, you just need to do a small update, that is if you have space.

i deleted it and had to download 25gb+ which took nearly forever cause before reaching full speed it will throttle, and i have a download limit.
