i got a script to look at the uncompressed files but it downloaded 50 gigs of files not sure how that's possible. Well, I dunno what compression they use, or if they have secondary manifests somewhere, but that is correct. Uncompressed size of the download is 50 gigs of files. But compressed it is ...

Anyone have any success or progress on this? Just curious.

http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=8499 The problem is, everything is in a DAT file. I have spent time messing with the patcher and figured out how to download directly from ArenaNet. The instructions are near the bottom. I wrote myself a script that downloads the file, reads the first...

So this is what I have found so far that could help: /latest/102 : has the latest build # (ex. returns: 13525 2312313 12313123) the first number is the build number. /manifest/program/102/{build#} : manifest file for build number (ex. 13525, 13603) /program/102/0/0/{fileNumber}/ : the actual data fi...

It downloads in place, so put it into a convenient folder.

The full size of the DAT after downloading the full client is 16gb

I wanted to enlist some help on getting the DAT file for the GW2 client figured out. It shares similarities to GW1 from what I see, but its different, and I couldn't quite figure it out. I can provide the 16mb patcher that you download, it downloads the rest of the game. I can also provide cuts of t...
