Don't you know anyone with a fast internet connection? Or download at work, maybe (before or after shift)?
Even then, if you download a CD in one hour, then you can download about 5,5 GB in one night. (Assuming you have a flat-fee connection.) The GoG.com downloader supports pause/resume also. Many games at GoG.com are much smaller than this.
You download only once: if you keep a backup, you will never need to connect to GoG.com again (except if they update the game: then you need to redownload, but this normally does not happen often).
If you decide to buy 25 games at once and want to download them immediately, then you'd have a long wait ahead....
