I adore GOG and really like Galaxy, but for some reason it has decided that it needs to "allocate space" prior to begining a download. While this is not only unnecesary, it is irritating because my work offers me a 5Mb/s connection, so it's taking a friggin hour to allocate space for a game that will take less than three minutes to download.
I have tried aborting the install-- after ten minutes of waiting for that process to complete, I manually closed GOG Galaxy with the Task Manager. However, on running Galaxy again it simply started allocating the disk again like I'd done nothing-- except it started from scratch.
So, three part question:
1. Why is this necessary?
2. How do I skip it or make it go faster?
3. Should this be posted somewhere else? I couldn't seem to find a Galaxy-focused community group.
While typing this it finally started the download. Running slow for some reason, but I'll take 3.1MB/s over glaring at the "allocating" meter.
