That's the new Quick Downloader. It downloads and installs the game in chunks, instead of all at once, so you can get in faster. Stage 1-3 sets up the character creator, tutorial, and starting zones. Stage 4 is everything else.
In other words, everything should be okay. Wait until stage 4 is complete to access your existing characters. Alternatively, try creating a new character.

I was not specific enough. I meant try creating a new character that would start in Atlas Park or Mercy Isles. I believe those zones load up first.
If the character is Praetorian, that may not be available until Stage 4 is complete.
This is all assuming that Stage 3 is fully downloaded and installed. If not, then you'll need to wait. But even in that scenario, you should still be able to create a new character as long as you start the tutorial, because the tutorial loads before the starting zones.

Yeah, I tried creating a new character, and it says I have to wait until the stage 4 content is completed unfortunately, it's just running very slow, only at 6% and crawling. I'll just have to be patient and wait, thanks for the quick responses.
The good news is that if it works right you won't have to wait as long as a full download. The bad news is that you still have to wait for a chunk of it to download.

New download sux.
I'd rather wait once than twice.
I just renewed my subscription, haven't played for years. I logged in and saw all of my previous characters, but can't load them into a zone, until the stage downloads. Is this just updating my game files? I tried creating a new character and received the same message, everything is probaly ok, just checking, thanks.
