Sacredstorm.9765 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Hello :) I'm trying to download the game client. Normally i have 1MB/S download speed. When I start the client, it downloads at 1 MB/s then a couple of seconds later drops to 4KB/s.Any help? Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Healix.5819 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I'm assuming you've let it sit like that for at least 10 minutes? The download speed GW2 shows isn't your raw speed, since it's also having to stop to process the files as they're being downloaded. You'd need a really slow computer to drop that low however for more than a few seconds.You can try different patch servers using the -assetsrv option. To find different IPs, open a command prompt and enter the following command, which is querying Google's DNS:nslookup assetcdn.101.arenanetworks.com 8.8.8.8Alternatively, you can try ArenaNet's primary server:-assetsrv 64.25.41.2To debug it, you can additionally use the -log option, which will write a log of what it's actually trying to do (%appdata%/Guild Wars 2/Gw2.log). In some cases the downloads are actually being blocked by the ISP or whatever else, and the low speed is the result of that since it's looping bad responses. In this case, a VPN is required.

HonestJohnJR.5842 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I'm reinstalling after a year out. Currently been downloading for 2 days straight at 100-150kbs. 30GB and counting (rural internet sucks). On another note, what size is the .DAT file? I have the Heart of Thorn expansion (obv including original game). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
