Curse

So I just got this computer that my uncle built for me. Obviously, the computer would have to load all the outposts again. I noticed that the loading time ranges between (20-50kb/sec). Usually I have to download 500-800 files for big outposts. Even Ascalon City needs to download 335 files. I don't know if this is normal or not.

System Properties:

Processor: AMD Phenom 9500 Quad-Core Processor 2.20 GHz
RAM: 8.00 GB
CPU Used: 25%
Memory Usage: 1.78 GB
System Type: 64-bit Operating System
Drive :C (Capacity): 931 GB
(Used):46 GB
(Free):885 GB

Add -image after C:\blablabla\GW\GW.exe (Right-click n the shortcut) and wait till the game dowaloads everything.

1 more thing with 1TB disc you should make partitions, if you're going to catch something nasty which would cause you to format 1TB space... ouch!

Thanks it's loading 80,000 files right now. But I don't understand what you mean by the 1TB thing.

Your disc has a storage space of roughly 1 TB (1000GB), split it up in partitions incase something affects your disc, it'll most likely only hit 1 partition (most likely a 200GB block) which will save you LOADS of time in formatting it.

Also, once it has finished downloading everything, remove the -image command or make another shortcut to gw.exe without -image. -Image itself will not load the client, and shuts down once complete.

You really don't need partitions. They don't prevent any infections or add any real extra protection. It's misinformation above.

With that debunked, it's not your computer. It's more than likely ANet's craptastic servers. I barely average 200KB/s when I know I download files at ~2-3MB/s.
