    currently living out in the sticks so with gears of war 4 being 72GB download its going to take me 5 days to download it and that's even if the windows store doesn't feck up and restart the download again, wondering if anyone in galway has it already and i could copy the files over to a hdd or something.

    Can you even do that?
    Thought Windows Store's design prevents you from even seeing where the files are.

    Nothing you can do but just leave PC on day and night while it downloads. I am in the same situation as you Few days ago had to do it for Mafia III. And I have to do it again now for GTA V, even though I downloaded it when it was released on PC but my hard drive corrupted. It's a right pain but nothing I or you can do about it. I used to hate downloading a 6-7GB game now it is 60-70GB's.

    I'm stuck with 1.5mb down, so I bring PC to parents house, 1gb down in 1min. Worth the hassle. Know anyone you can do that with?
