I get upwards of 700kbps downloading, however, when downloading guild wars maps and stuff, i get like, 60ish. Why? It's quite annoying.
I download from servers in new Zealand at 150-200kbps, and thats across the world. The servers in the US.
I answered his question over MSN. Since just about everything is server side in Guild Wars. Imagine if they allowed Maximum download speed? The game would be INCREDIBLY laggy. So, they try to cap it at around 70-80 kb/s
If you have troubles waiting, I would advise downloading all the files when you have the time. Just add -image to the end of your Guild Wars shortcut. ex. "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -image That's how mines looks, and if you enter that and click the shortcut, it will load up the download screen and download all files available. Give me a PM in Guild Wars if you need help, or whatever. IGN: Too Cheap For F O W -Magical Samurai
