I think you mean 20GB (really 19). Do you normally have your computer running 24/7? Sounds like a perfect task for you, for the early hours

Nope, i think he means the 20MB GW2.exe file. The file that downloads everything else

Clearly everyone could do this to everyone else, and soon OCAU would be a lonely place.

We were extremely chatty so we thought it best to have a separate site to discuss stuff that the guild was intested in but not necessarily everybody in this forum

Ahhh.. no. The official mirror and the alternate one were overloaded. The one I linked would grab it at ~500kB/s. Much better than 5 hours for a stupid 20MB file.

The progress bar may restart, but it will (should) resume with less files to download.

Waiting for my press key, will be fun to play on a more populated server this time.

Aha, ok the amount downloaded that it shows starts again, but the files downloaded actually resumes. Kind of a confusing way to do that.

The bonuses are cosmetic only. So if vanity is worth a month's game time to you go for it.

Client completely downloaded, finally. A few false starts in the beginning, but left laptop on overnight and woke to GW2 intro screen music.

Rad, hurry up Saturday.
