I'm going to assume that you've been away from guild wars for a while, here.

There's nothing wrong. It's probably just downloading files from updates such as skill changes, bug fixes, new content added, etc. that have happened since hte last time you logged on.

If it's repairing data archive, GG. There's almost no way to fix it except getting new equipment for you comp.
There's a thread about it i think just use search button.
If it's just loading, then it's normal...mine does that too occasionally.

An up-to-date .dat file would be almost 4GB in size now. If yours is smaller than you have a lot of info to download.

Remember that the game will download the static info for the entire gameworld, including campaigns you don't have. Then as you enter areas, it will download updated data.

Its nothing to worry about let it run, the game has changed since you last played and needs to update your files.

Happens all the time whenever there is a new update, nothing to worry about. Let the files download and extract and everything will be working fine. Be sure to check the official wiki to stay up to speed with game changes.
