Download the game from Steam, after the download go to library, select GW2 click properties and add -provider Portal to Launch options, after you do this you can use your gw2 account, not your steam account. If you see the download going back to 0-1kbps just re-open the steam game launcher ( the download progress will remain). Steam should move faster anyway than the old webpage launcher

I just hate that people need to do things like open the "Properties" and insert commands for the game to work or change internet settings or do other weird tricks to play the game. It's incredibly annoying and the fact that the team is promoting new in-game fashion items on the gemstore when hundreds of people can't even download the game is just INSANEEE! I mean i understand the marketing but guys...can't market a broken game, right? No news about solving problems just the typically "We know it's there and we'll eventually take care of it" WHEN?

None of the tips from here worked for me to be honest, it just randomly started downloading the files after several *cough 1milion* restarts of the launcher soo i guess it's all about luck here. They'll solve it soon i really hope.

I mean yea, kinda dedicated to this game because this is the only mmo that really got me also the only one i've spent money on. And i understand that the team isn't that big and they need some time to get things done right but i had some free time and was really focused on getting the game downloaded tbh xD

Almost downloaded completly by closing and opening over and over again the launcher sooo see you guys in Tyria xDDD

They're our last hope, online tricks won't work for me xD

Same and it's really sad i mean we all probably paid for expansions/gems and from what i saw this problem was around few days already and they kinda did nothing about it at, from my pov it's the biggest problem around. Hopefully someone will listen to us because it's really a deal-breaker. I'll need a free expansion for this experience ANet! xDD

Now i got to *Playable*, i wonder if i'll open the game the download would be smoother and faster

Yea looks like i'm stuck at 518,971 now

They solved the problem i guess, now it's downloading the game pretty well at 11MBs, better than 1Kbs

Same here, couldn't download yesterday because the speed was maximum 1kbs, right now is working kinda well at 11MBs

Update: still not working and i've tried "-assetsrv http://origincdn.101.arenanetworks.com" and some windows network settings. Really sad, looks like i'm gonna play in a few months after the 1kbs will finish downloading from 8% to playable xD

Soo i've played this game for years, same pc, same internet, same everything, spent good thousands euros on this game. Today i've tried to reinstall the game after a break and it's going incredibly wrong. The game client stops downloading the game at around 3-9% and my download speed goes from 20mbs to 1-0kbs, i've tried everyting: checked firewall, reseted the router, restarted the pc and almost reinstalled my windows xD sadly anything won't work. This needs to be fixed real quick
