IIRC the gw2.dat file is compressed as its downloaded, so the actual download size seems to be larger than the final .dat
For example my .dat is at 8.5 GB currently, but my launcher says I’ve downloaded 15 GB so far.
I’m on 1.5Mbps DSL, and it’s been two days. I might get to play next week, maybe >_>
Love the bump warning for old threads, btw, but hopefully the “Keeping this thread open to keep info in one place” thing still holds true, as I didn’t want to start a new thread for this ongoing discussion.
