Should GTA V still be downloading slow?

[lbrwnie]

Hi guys!

Was just wondering about the download speed of GTA V. Mine seems to be limited to 5mbps max but my internet can go upwards of 150mbps. It never seems to go above 5mbps and I'm wondering if it is rockstar's servers or something to do with my computer. Downloading using social club not steam. 

Thanks

Same was for me, 1.5 gbps connection. But, maybe it was faster - idk, just left pc downloading it for the night.

Maybe they're just limiting speeds to prevent traffic overloads.

Social Club always seemed to be slower

Rockstar just has shit download servers...

wasn't GTA banned in Australia?  :huh:

For the Socialclub version YES, the servers are still overloaded.

Nah some stores just stopped selling it because people complained about it.

5MBps or 5Mbps?  Huge difference.

If it is lower case I meant it

I'd assume OP means 5MB/s since that would make more sense, that's only 1/3rd of his max download, but if he is getting 5Mb/s, then that is 625KB/s, which is like 1/28th of his max speed.

 

R* could also be limiting the download so their servers don't get overloaded like at launch OR their servers are still overloaded, I'd think the former though.

My Steam version went 20MB/s

If you put it that way, you meant 150 milibits? Lel.  Don't have to be a smartass when people are trying to help you.

[deusvult]

Mine was capped at exactly 11.33 mb/s. 

 

Bit of a peculiar number and certainly not the max my internet can handle. Perhaps they limit bandwidth.

I doubt he was trying to be a smartass, if anything he just doesn't realize it how many people mistake 5Mbps when it's 5MB/s also that mistake with small "m" ... lol idk.

Interestingly enough if you mean 11.33MB/s then that would mean 90.64Mbps which could mean they limit it to 100Mbps and you are probably closer to one of their servers

That sounds plausible. Mind you this was at 1 hour before launch.

Aaah, then they 100% had less traffic But cool, I like steam for this reason, 20+MB/s no matter the time... well unless steam servers are down ...

I never get those speeds in steam. Whilst even torrents chug about at a steady 50/60+ MB/s

I still need an SSD to my 1Gbps network , but yeah steam did go like 31 for me

I meant 5Mbit/s sorry, I always assumed that internet speeds are quoted at Mbits. Anyways yeah that is happening, I would assume that the speed is being limited by R* or my uni (I live on campus). Was more concerned that my computer was throttling it for some reason.
