Well, considering I get DL speeds on par with EatChildren's, I guess I should get cracking.

Very nearly the same, except I finished it on PS3. Still very tempted though.

The hunger is real.
Time to move my Windows install back onto my SSD, gonna crush those load times so hard.
Ah, I have an ssd, my wrong there.
Not dedicated though
. But I left 130 gb pre-downloading GTA V.Why did you take if off your SSD? You can also add a library to your SSD and install there.

I was trying out a Windows 8 install (extra copy from work) on a spare drive in anticipation of Windows 10. Even with the start menu hacked back in, still prefer Windows 7. This just gives me a good excuse to move back

Got my key from GMG, and so it begins...
Do you reckon we can pause & close the download window without losing all progress?

I really wonder how it will run and how the online will work. With all the problems on consoles I fear the worst. And 30 players multiplayer!... Will it be the lag fest of the century?

Thanks to everyone posting their slow download speeds. I can't wait to get home and laugh as my gigabit internet devours this 60gb file.

I wish I could justify buying this for a third time.. argh..
The only thing I can think of is that I just built my new PC and need a game to test it out with..

Pausing the launcher seems to work, but closing it seems to make it lose progress.
In other news, is anyone finding the rockstar downloader really slow? My universities internet can get up to 10 MB/s on Steam, But the ockstar downloader has only been up to 7 MB/s, and is currently only at 1. I guess there's a huge load on the servers.

I'm gonna laugh if yours is 500kb/s or something due to everyone downloading it
Tried it, it'll resume if you pause and quit out, but I'm pretty sure it resumed at roughly 2GB less than I had downloaded before. Maybe it was just 1 big file it had to restart.
Damn, my SSD is only 500GB and full of half-finished games, no way I'm going to be able to free up 125GBs for the pre-load.
Is there a way to pre-load on another drive and then install on the SSD at launch?

Pre-Loading as well (@10X Australia speed). Really curious how the port will be and how it will perform.

Jesus Christ, I'm not sure that will even fit on my SSD without deleting all my other games, and there's no way Pillars of Eternity leaves my hard drive any time soon.

Hopefully it preloads over a couple hours, I knew FiOS Quantum was a good investment lol

Quite likely. I believe Steam will sometimes do the same thing if you quite out during a download. Thanks.
Going to have to delete my Linux partitions.

man, 600 kb/s :/
damn you clearwire!!
damn you clearwire!!
I pre-loaded to C, moved the folder with all files over to D and made a symbolic link so Steam thinks it's all still there on C.
Hasn't Oceania always been at war with Eurasia?

Can anybody confirm if the Nuuvem version of the game works in NA?
Haha, that's crazy.

no idea, nuuvem havent provided the keys yet
but the activation page on rockstar social club is up
In all fairness, they've probably increased their capacity by a large margin on the back of this. Heck, at the ISP I work at, we up the capacity of our network when a new Top Gear releases on iPlayer.

Nuuvem should have keys in few hours according to their twitter, so I will download it tomorrow.
Now the question is, on SSD or nonSSD ?
Probably nonSSD, because GTA will be paused when Witcher comes and I don't want to have to reinstall or move the installation.
....should have gotten bigger SSD :/

Yeah, but there are only two Valve severs here in Aus. versus more than half a dozen ISP-ran servers. If the former were the only option, download speeds would be awful right now.
