My gw.dat file is about 2.5 gigabytes. You're most likely going to have to download more than 1 gig.

yeah you probably will have to download more than 1g. Having said that, what you may want to do is call your ISP (Internet Service Provider) Check the limit because 1g seems very small, usualy they don't go lower than 2gs. If it is 1g ask the representative what the penalty for going over is. Some ISP's charge for going over, usualy 3-5$ per Gig , most have that limit in place so they have the right to disconnect serious abusers. If they do not charge you should be fine with the download, most comapanies only step in when you are going way over their limits.
One thing you could do, if you have a friend that does not mind. Instal the game on their computer and download the updates. Then copy that folder to a disk, and take it home and transfer folder to your comp.

Hope that helps, and good luck to ya

Dameros. I think your best bet then is to have friend burn the dat file for you.
I'ts quite simple to do, and then all you do is relace the dat file in the GW folder on your cmputer. Only other thing I can think of is call your ISP and ask if they have any trial offers to try one of their Higher services. (with no contracts). Allot of companies do this, becasue they are pretty sure you will stick with the higher one.

Anyways Good Luck again...HMM I JUST HAD A BRAINSTORM.

Maybe it is possible for Anet to send you a disk with the update to help you out, or maybe it's possible for the Guru staff to help.

Just an Idea to help our freind from New Zealand

Take your computer to a friend's house and hook up to his internet.
