downloading gw

when i start to download gw it just says connecting to arenanet for ages.what do i doo

try disabling ur firewall

no it still is saying it

what kind of Internet do you have?

Could be several problems.

First try a reboot and try again

Then check firewall doubt you have to shut it down you should get a *** wants to connect, message if its a decent firewall.
So just check you didnt block it.

Could be the download center is experiencing problems

Could be your ISP

If you cannot trace the problem to your computer or internet server then try again another time.

What virus protection do you have? You may need to add guild wars/arenanet to an Exceptions list to allow it to download any data.
