It doesn't matter how much bandwidth you have at your end. You will still be limited by the maximum allowed by ANet.

No, -image is what you want. It downloads EVERYTHING.

If you want to do it from clean, delete your dat file and set a -image to download. From clean it should be somewhere over 50 thousand files to download.
Just Sai
false. my last client was well over 3gb. after suffering map by map downloads AFTER -image its only just over 2gb and stil map by map downloading.
may as well close thread, i can see this going nowhere for anyone but those seeking to gain post count.

Sounds like a bug then, because the -image parameter should do what you want.
Just Sai
well bug or not, its a major hassle and somewhat strange there seems to be no full clients available for download anywhere.
are we truly bound to anets crippled net'speed' for it?

1)install game
2)use -image
3)go watch tv
4)copy the .dat file in your GW folder to a backup location (you will need about 4-5 gigs of disk space if I recall)
5)PROFIT!
You will never have to go through the hassle ever again. If you need to make a fresh install or if your GW file some how gets corrupted just copy your backup .dat file back into your GW folder and you are done. It's only a pain the first time around while you wait for the -image to complete.

There might be something wrong on your end. -image worked for me when I installed it onto my second PC and has worked for many other people.

After that, go to C:\Program Files\Guild Wars and copy Gw.dat to another folder or whatever. Then burn it to a dvd (its nearly a 4gb download in all so a cd isnt suitable), or copy it to an external hard drive.
Once youve done that you wont have to do all the major downloading anymore. If you have to re-install the program again, you only need to download the client and install as far as getting to the login screen. then shut the client down and copy the Gw.dat file you have backed up to the Guild Wars folder, overwriting the Gw.dat that is in the folder.
Voila! with the exception of your templates and screens folder, it will be exactly the way you had it

-image has always worked for me. When loading map, is it actually downloading files(displays number of files downloading), or does it jump from 0 to 100%, but slowly? If it is jumping to 100%, it is a problem on your end. If it is displaying the number of files downloading and it is going very slowly, it is probably either a problem on your end or a slow connection.
Like it has been stated, -image has worked for many, many people, so the fact that you are having a problem with it screams either user error or computer/connection problems.

Wow, talk about rude. You post asking for help and then insult everyone that's tried to help.
-image works. Period. If it isn't working for you then you probably aren't using it correctly.
Modify your desktop shortcut. It likely looks something like "C:\Program Files\Guild War\Gw.exe"
Change it to "C:\Program Files\Guild War\Gw.exe" -image and run the game.
I'm not a troll, i'm just giving you the same answer that everyone else in the thread did. If it doesn't work then you aren't doing it correctly.

The -image command does download everything. BUT it doesn't decompress everything. As far as I know, there's no way to make it decompress everything as well.
In the future you make not want to take such a standoffish attitude to the people trying to help you.
Figure it out yourself.
