Sep 16, 2006, 11:08 PM // 23:08

ok i logged into the game and i started lagging horribly, so i log out to my charecter screen and look at the lightning bolt.

so far, im at 376 megs and still downloading. ermmm what is this and how big is it total?

Sep 16, 2006, 11:28 PM // 23:28

There has been a lot of updates over the past few days. Using GODh's figures, it's possible you downloaded only 190MB of yesterdays, and then the remaining 240MB + 36MB from today.

There was a huge 20 thousand file update (not a mandatory one. It is one of them that downloads when you play) that came after the nightfall screen changed.

You could just use -image and wait for that to download. Then you won't have to worry about it downloading while you play, if that helps at all....

If you had bothered to look at the Guild Wars Update page you'd see an explanation.

Pay particular attention to the line mentioning preparations for the Nightfall preview event.
