: Because the files are so heavily compressed, installation can be resource-intensive. It may take anywhere from 30 minutes on a modern CPU with an SSD to over on older hardware. Selective Downloads
Some users prefer DODI because the decompression is faster and uses less CPU power than other heavy-compression alternatives. Common Technical Fixes
Repack torrents are pre-configured game installations that are compressed to reduce file size. They often include everything needed to run the game.
Most repacks include a folder with DirectX, C++, and .NET Framework installers. Make sure these are updated to avoid "DLL missing" errors. A Note on Security and Legality
A torrent is not a file, but a map. A .torrent file or magnet link uses peer-to-peer (P2P) technology. Instead of downloading a game from a single server (slow), you download small pieces from hundreds of other users (peers) simultaneously. For MGSV: TPP , a 28GB game downloads much faster via torrents than a direct HTTP link from a free file host.
