Downloading at 1KB/Sec
I can connect to guild wars no problem, but am downloading updates at 1 KB/sec
Any ideas? I have XP Home sp2 Tiscali DSL (I can download at 350 KB/sec) In the UK |

A simple solution is just to let it sit there, and let it download.
A-Net's servers are very bogged down, and have very little bandwidth to spare. So to compensate, people download files from them at a very low speed at times. Try to start the download at an early time in the middle of the nite, or in the morning when less people are online the servers. Cheers.

Are you on Dial-up or broadband? I had exactly the same problem even with a 7.6Mb broadband connection.
Best bet is like Vvon said download at stupid O'clock in the morning. I did & it went from 1Kb/sec to over 250Kb/sec. |

Just before I loaded Guild Wars, I downloaded Sun Java, which sat at a very respectable 350 kb/sec, so it`s definitely not a problem on at my end
