if you torrent I guess you just drag and drop the files into the installation folder?

It would have been 8am EST (12pm GMT) when I grabbed it.
Yep, then open the client it should either download a little more then should complete. Or just will complete instantly.
Take note of the above post too.

Wont torrents be incredibly slow because of leechers? Unless you're using a premium Rapidgator or Uploaded account I don't recommend it.
Ah I see. In Mississauga I get that package for 47$ per month, for 2 years contract which I can back out from any time without extra fees.

I don't know if this is the same issue you're having, but there may be some helpful advice here:

Depends if you have access to a private torrent site.

What's the distinction you're making with this versus any other torrent
I will probably do this if it turns out my download is corrupted thanks to the bugs in RSC downloader. I already found a torrent that looks good, but I guess that linking to a torrent site is not allowed here, even if that specific torrent isn't piracy.
I have downloaded the game with a torrent in 3 hours.
Just make sure the files are from the retail version and not from the steam version.
File list should have file like this for RSC;
Grand Theft Auto V/x64a.rpf
..
..
..
Grand Theft Auto V/x64w.rpf
Steam uses a different file ending for the main game data.

It appears that way. I'm happy if it's done before launch.
Yeah, that is how the file list looks. I will wait and see how my RSC download finishes, but because I have lost progress multiple times already, I am not to confident in that.

Steam isn't affected and I don't think everyone using Rockstar's client is affected. It seems like the Rockstar client doesn't resume partial downloads very elegantly.

Folder size is 60GB and the downloading tool has a countdown timer now, crisis averted it seems.

My download speed was ~90kb/s for a while, but pausing and resuming bumped it back up to 8mb.

It seems like it does for a short time. Although, I only do that when it gets <50kb/s.

Weird. I managed to get the last 10 gigs at the higher speed, tho. Guess I got lucky.

It varies for me. I can get 3.6-4.0 mb/s for roughly 10 minutes per hour. Then it's back to 125kb/s ish.

That sucks. =/
Yeah, game goes live for everyone on Steam and Rockstar Warehouse when it's 12 AM in UK.
For us in EU it's not the best though, around midnight on a workday.

So, uhh, my preload got all the way to 61 GB, then failed. I hit retry and it started at 21 GB. WTF?
I managed to get everything downloaded last wednesday, when the preloading started. It was pretty slow, but it never completely died,

Alot of games do WW simultaneous releases.

Is everything good for you? Kinda wish I just spent the extra money and got the Steam version now judging from these posts...

I believe it's a worldwide launch.

No region gets it earlier than another. Once it's 4 PM Pacific in the US the game is launched. It's not out any earlier than that anywhere else.
It's a worldwide launch. They're releasing it the minute it turns 00:01 Tuesday in the UK all around the world, regardless of time zone. So that means for some timezones it'll still be Monday (e.g. in the US).

I got it through RSC, and it seemed to download fairly quickly (it saturated most of my ~6MB/sec connection). I left it overnight, woke up to the "will unlock in XX hours" message, so it didn't lose connection. This was late last week.

yeah Rockstar is good at that! Their trailer music is always the best
just started on my 80's electro driving music playlist 8)
Send me it, please. If it's anything like Lock and Load by MNDR, please, I need more of this in my life. I only listen to a handful of songs, some Bob Dylan, some country by Carrie Underwood, Jewel, and Dave Alvin, and the rest are all classical. Having just discovered this, I would love more similar to it.

How do you switch from third person to first person with the 360 pad?
Select. You can also configure first-person mode to trigger only in certain cases (e.g. first-person while on foot but third-person when in a vehicle).
