Use Goglaxy......

EDIT: They say I was wrong and Galaxy has no such function...

RE-EDIT: Except it kind of has.

Maybe I should not comment on Galaxy since I have not used it since the very first version open to us users.

You can setup GOGrepo. That is a useful way.

I suppose you could use a torrent... that would do all the files.

Alternatively if my computer is stable, i could download all files (not sure which game), tar them and netcat them to you. But don't expect 12Mb/s connections...

(this assumes we both own the same game)

Is the clicking the main issue, or waiting until you have to (can) do the next click?

I often use Free Download Manager 5 to queue up downloads using the browser links for a game.

I'd do 2-3 at the same time, download time is the same...

Galaxy also doesn't have this feature for one-click download all.

Downloading offline installers on Galaxy you absolutely do have a "download all" option, I am staring at it right now. The "extras" though, you seem to have to click the download button on each, but you can do it all at once and queue them up.

Well if you don't have a great connection, and you want to do other stuff on your PC at the same time, you probably wouldn't want to risk more than one at a time.

Overall time may be the same, but if they all fail you have nothing, so can be quicker to do them one at a time, because at least you are making progress and system resources aren't being hogged for long periods, especially if you reduce speed.

Not all games at once, but I think OP is talking about how large installers on GOG are separated into 4GB .bin files. If you click on the download for the "backup installer" in Galaxy, you will just download all files of the installation without having to click them individually (there is also a download all button for the extras).

^This. Without gogrepo I'd have abandoned GOG most likely. Keeping an offline backup of thousands of games is no fun without it :)

If it failes you can try to resume, and it could pick up where it left off at. If it outrigth fails then the files are gone.

Downloading more than one won't make it any faster, but overlapping downloads would ensure you are always downloading at full speed overall. Maybe when you're 80% done with one file you start the next. Or if you're going to be away a while do more downloads.

Personal experience downloading giant files at 4k/s, you pretty much just resume whatever it is you're normally doing and check daily to see what the state is, fix it if you have to resume the download, and eventually you get it all.

In the meantime... learn bushcraft, learn a few craft skills, read a book, etc... Or whatever floats your boat.

Over time, I have learnt to not be trusting and not work my processor so hard, so my preference now is for one file at a time. You don't get games any sooner really, and if like me you often queue up multiple games, well you can get a game sooner. All about time slices and sharing with the processor. Also about bandwidth and impact on other things and being impacted by other things. And resume sometimes fails ... not good if doing large files on an unreliable connection.

But like you say, each to their own.

When I use Free Download Manager 5, it uses multiple threads to download each file anyway. I have it limited to 3 I think.
