The repacks are compressed, so your computer has to do a lot of work decompressing the files. As long as you're downloading from the real website https://fitgirl-repacks.site/, then you should be good. It'll just take a while.
Is the installer not showing a progress bar?
What kind of compression are they using if a H tier 12th gen i5 is running at 100% usage? I doubt a laptop with that tier of a CPU has that great of an SSD that can saturate the CPU. Unless it's single threaded or something.
They put a lot of work into the repacks to make them as small as possible. Generally compression algorithms are chosen with a balance between compression and cpu requirements. Repackers don't care about that. They make them as small as possible with every trick known to man.
And if the algorithm used can be decompressed with all available cores in parallel it's great as well.
man THAT’S why that happens!
