Guild Wars 2

Hello,
Since the 09-Jul Patch hit, I allowed it to download but then had a nasty crash after it finished, being forced to restart the computer.
When I logged back in, a repair tool popped and I left it alone until it finished. Now the my client wants to download 250.000 files even tho my gw.data file is already at 16GB!?
Is there any solution to this or do I have to redownload the whole game from scratch once more?

Are you sure the client finished updating the file? It sounds as if it wasn’t quite done yet and became corrupted when the crash happened. When the gw2.dat file is unexpectedly interrupted when updating there is a very high chance that the file will become unusable and need to be fully downloaded again. Next time, make a periodic backup of the gw2.dat file so that all you have to do in the future is delete the corrupted gw2.dat file and paste in your backup gw2.dat file. Then it will update from when ever your latest backup was from.

Same thing happened to me. Finished downloading it yesterday (took three hours for some god awful reason idk why), but after i stopped playing the next day i had to redownload 260,500 worth of data. (left it to download while i went to work, which had a two hour headstart before that,) 7 hours later, it is at 230, 100 files left. So im at a loss for words as well.
