GTA V install updates help?

After installing from DVD, the game downloads a mandatory 5GB update and then a 350Mb patch.

Does the updater resume from a partial download? I have a slow internet connection and will need to pause/resume it.
Can the update be downloaded as a separate file? This would allow me to use FDM which helps resume failed downloads.

Best Answer

It is possible to download the update separately.

You can download the entire 5GB update the Rockstar Games Social Club Launcher wants to install from mega.co.nz, some kind soul uploaded it there (ukiuk found it linked on gtafive.pl):

Close The RGSC/GTAV launcher if it's running.
Download all 6 .partX.rar files from mega
Open the first one with WinRAR/7-Zip or something like that
Unpack the contents somewhere and then copy them to your

"C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto V"

folder or unpack them there directly, OVERWRITING ANY EXISITING ONES, so in the end you have a directory structure like

"C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto V\update\x64\dlcpacks\mpheist\dlc.rpf"
Rename any ".part" files within the "C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto V\update\x64\dlcpacks" folder (that includes all subfolders of course!) to ".part.bak" or delete them.
Start the RGSC launcher and download the 400MB update.
