People being home from school or home from work (here in UK anyway) who play GW are probably all downloading the updates now. More traffic to the server thus lag.

Got the same problem.
I have a 10mb connection, and it`s just crawling.
I had probs conncecting,now I have over 4000, files to download to get to just one area, and at just 15kb , and 20kb, it will take forever.
I just dont know what arena net are playing at.
It is so damn slow.

The Lag and connection problems are from you streaming in all the updates while playing (lightning bolt in the corner).

do a -image on your gw.exe and download them all in 1 go and you'll be fine there.

not rly I waited for the bolt to go before logging in and still lag massively and randomly stop loading areas. I understand its a post patch thingie so no big deal.

Chances are the servers are being taxed to their limit due to the massive number of people downloading this massive update. Give it a few days for the majority of people to have downloaded and it should be back to normal (read: with the increased lag that started a few weeks ago)
