Default Superslow downloading

Yesterday I decided to come back to GW and try out GW3. Downloading the files went extremely slow and now I have to download the PvP arena which takes like 15 minutes to download only 600 files...
I had to download about 8000 files lol
I have cable so downloads should be superfast instead of superslow...

Your computer slows down because GW is decompressing files, files download slowly because EVERYONE is trying to get them, and once they do they're playing.

Plus make sure you have nothing running in the backround... LIke anti spyware or any file sharing programs..

To reiterate on what Apocrypha said there are about a million people getting the same files...

good luck ..
