Guys, I live in Turkey, we all have terrible connection here so I want to know if it's possible to install the game by transferring the already downloaded files from another computer to mine. If I download, it might take a week. Can you tell me if it's possible or not, and how to do it? Thanks

If you have steam yes.

Basically, copy the GTA data from the USB to X:\Steam\steamapps\common\(GTAFOLDERNAME) and then go to steam and tell it to install GTAV 5 to that directory, it will take it quite a while to figure it out, but it will detect the data is already there, and then just download/add the missing registry files and ect.

I did this when I wanted to move my GtAV install off my SSD to my HDD cause of how big it was.

Mmm, you'd have to look at the social club specifics. I know your social club "has" to be tied to your steam account, or maybe not.
Contact rockstar support about the social club thing, it's more complicated than i can help with. (That and their FAQs aren't exactly updated with the PC release)
