Sorry if this question has been answered before...

I was just wondering, every time I go into a loading screen, I always have to load a ridiculous amount of files before I do whatever I want to do. One time it was about 80mb! Can I ask, why is this? Is it possible to revert it so it does it all at the start or something? >_>

Thanks.

Thanks =) I now have 50000 or so files to download, so I'll leave this overnight >.>. I'd assume that this would mean these files have been downloaded permanently, so I don't have to go and download another 50000 files next time I play?

You need to download 50k files an ~2gig every time you play. Yea, Not only is that good on a 56k connection it really helps Anet in reducing their bandwidth costs.

Do you *really* need to have this one answered?

Its tempting to say yes, but I think I'll be killed in my sleep =(
Thanks for the answers, even if the questions were really noobish >.>.
