Rivereyes: Nope, in fact turning it down to 1 made it EVEN slower. GoG.com is currently broken for me and a bunch of other users. 'Tis a sad sad day when you can't even trust GoG to function properly.
well last time i tried the downloader , it was when it's started to be broken (previous version to the current one) . I wasn't very fond of to try the new version (even if i have some games i didn't have the opportunity to d/l) when i read all the previous posts.

there're only one workaround (and not a solution for everybody) :

the browser : but no resume possible ...
an unofficial downloader : there's only one wirh a gui (JGOGDownloader) : and i don't know if it's working properly now. -> http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/jgogdownloader/page10

the official client looks like really broken .... :-(

some other members suggested using DownThemAll! (using Firefox browser integration) and its working fine for me. resume is hit or miss. try this until the downloader is sorted out.

I can't run the latest dowloader version, when I try to open it gives me an error. This is part of the log:

Just tested new version and its even worse, now it doesnt even go online. Its showing offline status and "Unable to access registry key, try running as admin" . Im running it as admin btw.

Seriously, what`s going on here? Is there a saboteur in your office or why its broken for so long?
These errors will be fixed tomorrow. We would like to say sorry for any inconvenience.
Thanks for the heads up, but this is a disgrace. I had pre-ordered Chaos on Deponia since your October conference and I was forced to download a torrent of the GOG version because your downloader simply did not work.

I am VERY open to bribery with free games in order to forget this whole bad business, but otherwise, this is the end of my blind faith in GOG.

Get off it, mate. It's an inconvenience, but who goes around demanding free games?
Hello,

We have a beta update for the downloader that should fix the most common issues:
- fixed timeout handling
- fixed issues with >2GB files
- fixed an error with progress bar getting stuck on 99% while download has
been completed.
- improved download speed meter
- fixed an error with missing registry keys

You can download beta version of GOG Downloader from link below.

EDIT:
Users who previously downloaded version <3.2.21 must download this version manually.
