I have all of the content, and I regularly -image. The .dat file is 3.6GB. I think the majority of the rest till 4.05 is removed content. I could be wrong however.

3.7 != 3.55

3,728,057kb / 1024kb/MB = 3640,68 MB

3640,68 MB / 1024 MB/GB = 3,555 GB

Its not window$ for a change. The calcualtion is correct because bit sizes dont translate that well to decimal.

OT: My Dat file it 3,33GB big... guess its time to do an overnight -image methinks

-image downloads and decompresses everything regardless of if you have access to it or not.

3.56GB here.

By the way, for all you saying "no gw:en", "no bmp", etc.. It doesn't matter, either way when you run -image, it will download the whole image of the game, regardless of what your account has access to as the image can not tell what you don't and do have...

So for all you of you who run -image, you have all 4 games and the BMP streamed and it is in your .dat file now...

You just don't have access to it.
