Pat Rick.6850 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Hello,is there an alternativ download? I want to install the game, but the download is between 200 and 1000kb/s. It would take days to finish the download. It was like this ages ago, why is it still like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Might be on your end; my downloads average between 7Mb and 11Mb/sec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linken.6345 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 5mb to 8mb here, if on wifi have you tried directly connecting a cable to the pc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Rick.6850 Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 yes, cable. the speed isnt a problem i can get 11. Its just GW that is that slow. The download is pretty weird. Now i have most of the times 1-2mb/s sometimes it goes down to 400kb/s and then back up and rarely it goes up to 5mb/s and back to 1-2.Its a new install, not an update, so maybe them are faster.I also tried some other asset server, but nothing speed up the download. So i guess the download is just broken. Something that only arenanet could fix, but, nothing changed here since...well beginning.When there is no alternativ, new Players will be disapointed. Well maybe i can rejoin in a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a complete design fail, that they dont want to fix.I was kinda hoping that i can download the GW2.dat in another way or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 You can use a friend's .dat file, if you are looking for another way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Add the GW2 installation folder (the one containing the Gw2-64.exe) to the exceptions of your antivirus' Behavior Shield. Also, install the game some place other than C: \Program Files\ . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
