Takes a few minutes after every update to toss ~ 50 Gigs of don't need

seems to me that if 50GB  is that important, then most likely what you really need is a larger storage … 50 GB is not going to solve your lack of storage.

1TB ssd is currently sub 50 bucks..... just saying....

Games getting bigger (greetings from the 4K-era), and storage becoming vastly cheaper is just the way the cookie crumbles nowadays.

I'm curious to see how many GBs GTA VI will have.

Have a 500 GB SSD, w/ ~ 20% free.

50 GB is a lot.

Until the next build, it works fine, sans the don't need.

seems to me that you barely meet the recommended storage requirements (depending on which extra content you have bought):

 

Recommended system requirements (HIGH graphics settings): OS 64-bit Windows 10/11; DirectX11; CPU: Core i5+ at 3+ GHz or AMD FX / Ryzen; RAM: 32 GB ; Free hard disk space: 500 GB on Solid State Drive (SSD) + extra space for paid content ;

Offering to upgrade my 7700K/1080 rig, or just spend my money?

Works fine w/o the don't need.

Kb/s ?  No wonder it takes 20 hours, I’m lucky to have broadband:

You can’t expect devs to tailor a game to such inadequate specs. It’s up to you to get better service.

That speed is just inadequate for this or nearly anything else today.

I had to look up what that is…

Don’t know what to tell you. Move. Find a different hobby The game can’t be designed around such an inadequate connection. Forget liveries, what about everything else?
