Is it downloading the whole thing (4GB~ish), or just a patch?
Is it actually downloading, or just verifying?
Did you legitimately install/download previously, or did you just copy an installation over from another hard drive?

Also, if this is a new installation, are you running the installer or the updater? I think you need to run a shortcut to the updater in the Program Files folder (or wherever you installed to) instead of running whatever may have been downloaded from the website. (Disclaimer: I install from a disc and have not had to deal with digital downloading, so I may have some details wrong. Corrections welcome.)

It downloads a small amount of information, and then verifies all of it to mke sure everything is playing nice together. It tends to happen every couple weeks when they need to fix something or turn on/off game events.
In this case, it may be the patch to turn the Winter Event off, but I'm not certain.
If this is your first MMO, you may not realize it, but things are constantly changing. It's not like a console game where what you buy at the store is the entire game and that's what you get. In MMOs you pay your subscription fee and you get access to a game that keeps getting bigger as you play.
As a side effect, you will occasionally have to download a patch so everyone is playing the same version of the game. You can't play version 19.23472393 while everyone else is playing version 19.23472394, because the servers won't recognize the version you are trying to run.
