Guild Wars 2

Hello. I’m posting this thread as I’m having a problem with downloading the game. I browsed a lot into these forums, finding solutions for others that didn’t worked for me. So I’ll just describe my problem.

My download starts, but after some files downloaded(ranging from 10mb-150mb) the speed drops to 0kb/sec and I’m forced to restart the launcher again. I’ve managed to get to 2GB with this method, losing about probably 6 hours of my life(well, I did other sutff but had to check after a couple of minutes the launcher). As a semi-solution(which has proven not usefull at all), I managed to make the launcher restart after a timeout with the -timeout command. This achieved me 300mb in 1 1/2 hours, so I could left my computer alone but I won’t recommend this as a solution.
What I have gathered as information throughout several posts and tested but didn’t work:

• AVG. I first disdabled it, then unistalled it.
• Port fowarding of ports 80, 443, 6112, 6600.
• Disabling my router firewall.
• Disabling my firewall.
• Adding an inbound and outbound rule for ports 80, 443, 6112, 6600.
• Making my DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
• Flushing my DNS as stated on the FAQ (with the ipconfig /renew)
• Trying the Timeout command(Yield a result but THIS is clearly not the solution).
• Trying the Winsock reset.
• Trying the -timeout command.
• Running in Windows XP compatibility mode.
• Running as Administrator.
• Deleting the gw2.temp file, gw2.dat that holds the launcher(not the game itself).

It isn’t a short list, and I can’t seem to understand how people are still running into this issue. I’ve found posts ranging from the game launch(which is understandable) until this day. Please, if there’s a solution and I missed it, tell me about it. I’m reinstalling the game after about a year of not playing and just want to play again.
Thanks,
