Be the very first to play!

<span class="bold">The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt</span> is now available to preload on GOG.com. If you have pre-ordered the anticipated, next-generation RPG, you can choose to pre-load the game and be one of the very first to play once it goes live on May 19th.

The simplest way to preload the game is through the just-released GOG Galaxy Beta. GOG Galaxy is fully integrated into the DRM-free release of <span class="bold">The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt</span> and includes convenient auto-updates, game time tracking and achievements. Of course, you can also preload manually by downloading the available files off your shelf on the website.

The preload includes subtitles in every language and full English voiceovers. Once the game is live, you'll have the option to download an additional ~3GB language pack with voiceovers in your preferred language.

The complete original soundtrack is also available for download today alongside the preload, just in time to set the proper mood for the ruthless, dark-fantasy epic. If you preordered the game, you'll find the soundtrack in the bonus goodies section of your shelf. Don't forget, that this is one of the last opportunities to take advantage of the pre-order discounts - that includes the -20% loyalty deal for owners of the previous two The Witcher games on GOG.com!

While you wait, check out one of the sexiest previews of <span class="bold">The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt</span>, brought to you by the hilarity-infused Conan O'Brien:

Same problem here, download speed at 0.1 MB/s with GOG Galaxy.

Sometimes it bumps up to 1.1 MB/s but just for few seconds and then come back to 0.1 :\

yeah i just hit 2.4mb/s there then straight back down to 0.1 and i have 40mbs internet
Well gog downloader at least stay steady and download at 1mb still slow but at least faster then 0.1mb hehe

It seems that downloading the installer through the library page is the fastest way to go. I'm getting about 3mb/s.
GOG Galaxy refuses to preload The Witcher 3. It's always stuck at "Getting file list" and then it hops me back to library page.
Best way to download - ignore GOG Galaxy and just use the normal library, Galaxy is still beta remember and I don't think it getting hammered with 1 million pre-orders will help the servers any...
That's what i did aswell, installed and downloaded with GOG downloader, and voila game shows up in GOG Galaxy :)
Can't find GOG downloader anywhere on the website
it's really weird for me - i've downloaded something yesterday (see attached image "w3"), it is 23,5gb heavy and it went pretty fast.
today GOG Galaxy is downloading something else to a temp folder (image "w3a") via Install option in Galaxy, it weighs 26gb according to Galaxy.

can someone explain to me what's going on? does it downloading preload for the second time to another folder?
GOG Galaxy folder settings are at default - it installs games to C:\GOG Games

Gamespot gave a 10, while saying the only letdown was minor bugs or glitches.
