On a clean install of GuildWars using the web client, when using the -image switch, it downloads > 3gb of more data.

How to replicate
---------------
Run the web installer, start the install.
After the main gw.exe is downloaded and takes over, stop the download.
Delete the very incomplete gw.dat file.
Alter gw to have the -image switch.
Let it connect and download all files.

Downloads >3gb (90K+ files) which is much larger then it suppose to be.

I've verified this bug is still present Feb 10,11 2007
Mine ended up being 5.9 GB.

Gaile indicated it was an old issue / previously fixed (http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10044762)

Gaile indicated she would have Q&A take a look at it when people were still reporting it's still an issue (no response yet) (1-15-07)
