UPDATE: I reworked the patch a bit: http://pastie.org/6093145 (use this instead of the previous one)
On top of the above changes it includes:

* added color to the progress bar and --no-color option (if you think the color should be off by default - you can just reverse and change it to --color instead and just pass that value). Using vt100 codes for color isn't worse than what is used now for clearing the line. To make it more portable - ncurses can be used.
* instead of "light shade" - put space for empty bars again. It looks better.
* added catching the edge condition on resume, where dlnow and dltotal are both 0.0. Before the bar jumped to 100% and after a few moments to real value. I made it jump from 0% - it's less irritating.

LGOGDownloader 1.17
- Merged the patch by shmerl
- shmerl: Switched the rate from calculating it manually to simply getting it from curl_easy_getinfo. Curl happens already to calculate rate by itself.
- shmerl: Introduced Unicode progress bar. Most terminals used these days support Unicode so it makes sense to make it a default. --no-unicode option allows switching ASCII style simple progress bar back.
- shmerl: Moved the config to shared_ptr in order to pass it around (callback needs it).
- shmerl: added color to the progress bar and --no-color option
- shmerl: added catching the edge condition on resume, where dlnow and dltotal are both 0.0. Before the bar jumped to 100% and after a few moments to real value. I made it jump from 0% - it's less irritating
- shmerl: Had to use a workaround to detect the case of (dlnow == 0.0) && (dltotal == 389.0) otherwise the progress bar will be missing the very last small part.
- Incomplete cover downloads are resumed
- Added __LP64__ to environment detection

http://sites.google.com/site/gogdownloader/lgogdownloader-1.17.tar.gz

No checks are made for the covers to ensure that it's the same file when resuming. It's possible to "resume" complete file if the file to be downloaded is bigger. This shouldn't happen unless I've changed cover image in the *.xml for some reason

I'm on Linux Mint 13 and when I try to add that PPA it works, but I get the following errors when I run apt-get update:

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/gabriel-thornblad/lgogdownloader/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/gabriel-thornblad/lgogdownloader/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found

I also tried to compile from source, but a couple of the required packages (liboauth-dev and libcurl4-openssl-dev) have conflicting dependencies which I haven't been able to resolve.

Now tried to install the .deb, but I get the message: Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libboost-filesystem1.49.0 (>= 1.49.0-1).

The latest version of libboost-filesystem available as far as I see is 1.48.

Yes, the deb that I have packaged is for Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal) and its derivations only - sorry about that. If I magically found some of my lost spare time I could set it up for other versions as well, but don't hold your breath.

It builds just fine for me on Debian testing though (except for the hash include change). I guess it should also work with Mint LMDE.

I'm guessing liboauth-dev depends on libcurl4-gnutls-dev? It should build and work with libcurl4-gnutls-dev when rhash include path is changed to <rhash.h> (or at least it worked the last time I built it using Debian few months ago)

LGOGDownloader 1.18
- Use HTTP::getFreeGames() to get the list of free games instead of using hardcoded list of free games

replaced it with fixed *.tar.gz

just compiled ver1.18 and it all works fine :)

however going through my collection i see that some of the covers are corrupt, i deleted them and tried to download them again but still the file sizes are too small, on the order of 168kb to around 350 kb

the covers that are corrupt (as in no program will open them) are
teenagent
syberia2
syberia
outcast
fallout tactics
fallout 2
bloodrayne2
bloodrayne

during the download every faulty cover stops at 50% as in the following:

trying --verbose for just teenagent give the following:

which seems to say that the file doesn't exist even though there is an attempt to download it!

There's a problem with imageshack.
Tried downloading "teenagent" cover with the downloader and it fails (error code 404). Downloading it with wget works fine.
I'll upload those images to another filehost.
edit: it's actually case-sensitivity problem, imageshack urls should be all lowercase but some links in the cover list have capitals in them. I think this can be easily fixed with some regex. I'll update the cover list when I've managed to fix the links
edit2: cover list should be fixed now

The covers are hosted on number of different filehosts. I just take the cover links from here and add them to the cover list.
http://sites.google.com/site/gogdownloader/GOG_covers.xml

It would be best to host them somewhere reliable but it means downloading all covers, uploading them and updating the cover list. I haven't had the time to do that.

LGOGDownloader 1.19
- Check for HTTP errors when downloading covers
- Fixed template for curlhandle::get_info(). Templates can't be split between *.h and *.cpp
- downloadFile() now returns CURLcode instead of int. Default code is CURLE_RECV_ERROR (Failure with receiving network data)

Sude, thanks for this amazing program. It's awesome and so is the person maintaining the ppa for Ubuntu.

Do they plan to put it in normal Debian repos as well?

I don't really have an idea but it seems it's being developed on debian at least and the compile instructions seem debian centric. You should probably be able to make your own package.

@silviucc: So far I built it manually, but I'll take a look at how to create a Debian package. Debian testing has some differences (like in rhash include) because it's a bit stalled at the moment (release freeze). Is the Unicode progress bar working well for you by the way? I didn't really get any feedback on that, and I hope it's OK.

LGOGDownloader 1.20
- Update progress bar every 100ms instead of every time progress_callback gets called. This prevents the progress bar from flickering because of too fast updates.

Doesn't compile under Debian 6.0.6 because there is no package "librhash-dev" available....

Can you provide a 32 bit statical linked intel binary or include the rhash library for systems which are not Ubuntu?
