How would it reliably know when and when not to apply said logic?

Currently not working on Arch since boost upgraded to 1.57 recently, lgog expects 1.55.

It doesn't build with 1.57?

It does build, which is weird. I've built it with 1.57 installed and it still expects 1.55...

I did some stuff wrong. It's working now, sort of... I'm getting a segfault on download...

It did download all three episodes fine for me, including all three platforms. Did you set 'platform' to '7' to select all three of them?

Hmm, interesting. Using --list --platform 5 obviously lists it (since it has a Windows version) and --download --platform 5 --game supreme_league_of_legends_episode_3 downloads both the Windows and Linux versions, but --list --platform 4 doesn't list that game (though other Linux games are listed, some others are likely missing too though I don't know which at the moment) and --download --platform 4 --game supreme_league_of_legends_episode_3 gets me absolutely nothing (neither does --platform 2 or --platform 6).

EDIT: Then again, I don't see it on my shelf either when searching for linux, ubuntu, or mint. I'm fairly certain I did earlier, but my memory is faulty and shouldn't be trusted. So it seems the season pass is marked as compatible with OS X and Linux, but each individual episode isn't marked as such (despite obviously having OS X and Linux files).

First of all, thank you very much for creating this program.
I would like to install the lgogdownloader on Ubuntu(trusty), however, I don't quite understand what the PPA is for.
Do I need to add the PPA? What exactly is webupd8 and don't you need it on other distributions?

Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance :)

The verbose instructions are for compiling it from the source code. They're more time-consuming, but they always give you the latest version and are easier to adapt for non-listed distros.

The PPA (Private Package Archive) is a repository you can add to your package manager for automatic install and updates... but you're dependent on whoever maintains the PPA to do the updates in a timely manner.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lgogdownloader

PPAs are only for Ubuntu because other distros use different library versions which may or may not be compatible.

webupd8.org is an Ubuntu blog that also provides extra packages for some of the things they blog about which aren't in Ubuntu proper or are only available in an older version.

Thank you for responding. :) So that makes sense. The reason I was confused was that the downloader is not listed as included in the PPA. -I was assuming that it might be the wrong PPA, or that it might include libraries required for lgogdownloader.

It's a very big PPA and it's paginated. You'll have to click "Next" several times before you can see lgogdownloader in the list.

Thank you very much. :)

Using most recent version of lgogdownloader, downloaded as source build it locally. When attempting to download anything bigger than 500MB download stops at random moment. Attempt to restart the program results in nothing, as if file has been successfully downloaded. Restarting with --repair produces output as:

Chunks: 1046
Size: 4294967295 bytes

Chunk 355 (10485760 bytes): Read error

Attempt to set retries higher than default and timeout to less (or leaving as default) does nothing of notice.

Well, there were no major activities on the github project for the last three months on lgogdownloader, just a couple of minor fixes.
