The EA/Ubisoft/Rockstar servers are so shit and their games so large that it's actually near impossible to download their games on a slow internet connection, because they would just timeout after 3~4 hours.

Downloading a cracked, compressed FitGirl repack over P2P and just ignoring the crack was unironically the only viable way to legally enjoy the games I had purchased back when I had slow internet.

The repacks are windows .exes, yet even work flawlessly via wine. FitGirl truly GOATed.
