GTA V Takes 4ever to download?

Hi!

The game is a huge download, and how fast it downloads depends on how fast your internet is.

Go to settings, then network, and view detailed network statistics. From there, you should be able to see your download speed in Megabits per second.

Also, go to settings, network, and then view broadband usage to see how fast you are currently downloading in KB/s or MB/s.

Try going to http://www.rockstargames.com/ and look for "GTA: V". There should be a section there called "Downloads" or "Patches". See if this takes you to a DL for the patches/updates. Works like
this for the PC, so maybe it will be similar for GTA: V.

Hey! I have something that might work for you! Mind you it will take a while.

Delete GTA V and clear your cache 3 times.

Restart your console.

Download 16 GB of demos (this is how big GTA V will be in the end)

Once those have finished download all the GTA V files from your download history (GTA V, Installation Packs 1-4)

After you've done that, feel free to delete the demos.

This worked for me, hopefully it works for you too!

(Also, if you have a disc in the disc tray try taking that out. Sometimes if I leave a disc in there when I try to play games from the marketplace it gives me problems. But I'm sure you've tried that)

I fixed the auto-shutdown, allowed background downloading and used Ethernet instead of WiFi - it's finally done! About 4 hours.....

This game has huge files on it, it's really big that you need to install 7.8 GB even if you bought the game as a CD. Anyways, you can let it download over night while the Xbox is off. How? Follow the steps I'll give you:

1) Go to the system settings>Console settings>Startup and shutdown>Shutdown

2) Click "Enable"

3) Go back, then turn off your Xbox.

You'll see that the green light will be flashing. The Xbox wouldn't fully turn off, and it also will download 1/4 speed than when the Xbox is on. But, you can go to sleep, and leave it download over night. I did the same thing to BioShock Infinite.
