    It would be fine if it was downloading at more that 150kb a second. Ugh :mad:

    Steam? I have just been waiting for a few minutes to "unpack"

    No, this is the Rockstar downloader. Your files are being decrypted now, and you'll have a few updates afterwards. A 50mb and 350mb update, which currently is currently running at 40kb a sec. 1hr and 20mins to wait apparently.

    Had 27GB free earlier this evening. Steam gave me an error message just now saying I had 1.74MB (yes - megabytes) hard drive space free. Immediately deleted the only other game I had on my drive

    Hit Pause and Resume if your download goes to a crawl. Did it three times and it's now just about ready to go.

    Just got a disk write error and had to pull another game off my HDD.

    This is a bit like having a lovely dinner cooked for you and then the plate getting pulled away as you're about to tuck in. :P

    It stopped working for me when I hit 300MB downloaded. Now I am back to 50kb/s

    looks like you need 130gb free space.
    65gb for the installer and 65gb (or more) for it to unpack into :eek:

    Got it to around 95% with the Pause/Resume trick, but it's stopped completely now. Connection to server lost.

    I am 340MB in, so around the same place. Connection is still going, but real slow.

    Yeah be careful if you are installing on an SSD. The game creates a depotcache folder in steamapps that will be 60g big AND keeps the files in the downloading folder also until the game is fully unpacked and playable.

    That seems to be what the game is doing now to me on my Hard Disk. Despite downloading all 60 gigs I've still had to delete several games including the 27GB World of Warcraft (which was just a trial anyway). Refreshing My Computer now and the space is getting drained like crazy!

    Same here. Probably the Pause/Restart thing to be fair.

    Lads just remember, games that are going to generate this much traffic on launch never ever do well on release. I wouldn't get your hopes up to play online tonight and I would wager the next few days will be rough going.
