Guild Wars 2

MakeYouMad.5301:

I found this solution to be a…temporary workaround (wtf arena net…). Thank you slemnd.7986 for the solution:

To anyone still having this problem, I’ve found a (janky) solution. I was a bit skeptical of it at first, but it fixed this problem for me; I’m downloading at 1.5MB/sec now.

You can try connecting through a free VPN. This just requires you to temporarily set up a network connection on your computer. (See http://www.vpnbook.com/freevpn for more info) You can delete this connection after the download completes.

- Go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center
- Click on “Set up a new connection or network”
- Select “Connect to a workplace” and click Next
- Select “User my Internet connection (VPN)”
- Paste the below into the “Internet address:” box and click next (Note, this address may change in the future, check http://www.vpnbook.com/freevpn for the latest servers)

us1.vpnbook.com

- Enter the following username and password, check the “Remember this password” box, and click “Connect”:

And you should be good to go. Just wanted to share this solution since this was a fairly frustrating affair and I was happy to finally have it resolved.

Note that the password is bound to be changed. So depending on the time you’re looking at this post the password may have been modified, verify it on http://vpnbook.com/freevpn

HOWEVER THIS SOLUTION ISNT APPROPRIATE AND ARENA NET NEEDS TO COMMENT :^). WHY SHOULD I BE USING A VPN TO ACCESS US SERVERS (LOL?)

WORKED for installation, TYVM. Sat for 2 hours trying to get it to download.. Login screen popped up in less than 5minutes (still waiting for the major game files to download). Then I’ll turn off the VPN thing and connect normally.
