Hi guys, i just wanted to know if it's only me or everyone, that the download speed is only 0.1 MB/s when using GOG Galaxy to download the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

(my download speed should be around 1.4 MB/s)

thanks!

At the moment, I'm downloading it in October... sure the servers aren't hammed !!! stupid low download speeds, won't be using GOG again.... basically 5 days to get the game....

Should have bought it on STEAM

The servers are hammered again because CDPR released a huge patch for Witcher 3 and a lot of people are downloading it. You can try downloading directly from the website through the browser or with the GOG downloader instead of the optional GOG Galaxy client.

Would have bought it on steam but apparently my Steam account has been hacked !... luckily I didn't have any credit cards on there....

This is really stupid... less than 1mb per sec... it's going to cost me in electricity more than the games worth... no real way to cancel on this STUPID SHIT,, sorry SITE..

I just started downloading The Witcher 3 with Firefox. It is coming at full speed to me right now, which in my case means 10 Mbit/s. So at least the speed problem you are seeing is not universal.

Not sure whether you are trying to download it with the Galaxy client, or the offline installer with the web browser. At least the latter option works fast for me. If you are in a hurry, you might consider downloading the game with your web browser instead, install it, and then import the installed game to Galaxy (if you want to play it through Galaxy, and not without).

Downloading it with the web browser is probably a faster option anyway, as the offline installer files are compressed, while the Galaxy client probably downloads the data uncompressed (meaning much more data to download).
