mrkgnao: Just FYI, GOG changed the games IDs for all three Pillars of Eternity games upon release (probably something to do with the pre-order exclusives).

Gydion: SOB, this has pre-order exclusives? I thought they were bonuses (available to purchase afterwards)? I guess that text was edited later on.
Yes. Two exclusives:
* Pre-Order Bonus Item #1: Giant Miniature Space Piglet,
* Pre-Order Bonus Item #2: Gaun's Pledge

ANNOUNCEMENT:
Version 4.3.0 has been released with the following features:

*** Added hyperlinks for all the downloadable files, thereby allowing you to download the games you own directly from MaGog [suggested by Wurzelkraft]

*** Added filtering by and display of unbundling information (the number of sub-games a game has been unbundled into and their titles) under "Downloadable Files"

*** Changed the "Title contains the string" filter to automatically also search unbundled sub-games' titles

*** Added a new sorting order for downloadable files within a game, which I have christened "Sensible Order" (now the default):
- First by operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux)
- Then by language (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, All others)
- Then by logical/chronological order of sub-games or DLCs within a bundle or game
- With all the bonuses at the end, sorted alphabetically
- Note: Do not hesitate to report any errors you come across in the resulting order.
- Note: If you have previously fiddled with the "Downloadable Files Order" drop-down menu, you will probably want to select "Sensible Order" now.



Some of the things you can do now:
- Get a list of all the unbundled games, see what sub-games GOG has unbundled them into, and, for any game you own, download any of their files (hopefully sorted in a more-or-less reasonable order) without requiring access to the individual boxes:

- Search for the word "planet" in a title and also get Zork Anthology as a result because it includes Planetfall:

P.S. I know that the list of downloadable files looks quite crowded at the moment. I am thinking of ways to improve it.

I believe this might be what you have ("not really") asked for. Thank you for your brilliant suggestion.

Damn, GOG itself should adopt Magog at this point. XD
Anyway, +1 and soon 1K ! :D

Also, nice suggestion Wurzelkraft!

Great work, as always, +1.
Briefly checked out the download feature, and works nicely, but will give it a more thorough whirl this weekend.

ANNOUNCEMENT:
Version 4.3.1 has been released with the following features:

*** Improved the display of downloadable files by grouping them by type (operating system, language, etc.) and listing the total size of each group
Note: Quite naturally, this affects only the "Sensible Order" display mode.



Here again is the list of the unbundled games, slightly more user-friendly:

WAY more readable, thanks.
Thanks for this cool addition! :) Do you need any specific download links?

Not sure what you're asking.

mrkgnao: Thank you.
Not sure what you're asking.
Pillars of Eternity and other games have the following text: "Downloadable Files [File Name; Last Modification Time; Size in Bytes]:
Sorry. No information is available yet (as I do not own this game)."

I also found this under the "Age of Wonders 3 - Golden Realms [DLC]" entry: "Please see the entry for the game itself for data about its DLC (assuming I own both)." There is no download link for this DLC in the AoW3 entry so I guess you don't have it. This might confuse people though.

What can I say. If people wish to gift me games so MaGog can track them, I will not object, but I am not actively soliciting this. I guess people shall have to wait until I buy the games or DLCs.

For downloadable files, MaGog is limited by what I own. It cannot know anything about downloadable files of games I do not own. It's not ideal, but it's still better than not having it track anything.
..and that's why I'm asking if you need the links. ;) This could obviously create new problems if files are updated/added and you'd have to ask for updated links but it's an idea.

Oh, you mean add data to MaGog manually. Sorry, I don't do manual. Everything you see has been collected, updated, calculated, massaged and displayed automatically. The chances of manually-input information remaining up to date are slightly less than zero.

Specifically, concerning links, in the few days that MaGog has been monitoring those, I have already noticed that GOG occasionally changes links for no obvious (i.e. a new link to the same file, with the old link no longer working). I am not reporting these kind of changes.

If you plan to use MaGog to download your GOG files, I recommend using it with the DownThemAll! add-on for Firefox (I assume there is something similar for other browsers). This allows you to select a range of text (e.g. the Windows, English or the Bonuses line of a given game) and have the add-on download them all to a given directory without having to click on all those links. Greatly simplifies life.
Stupid question , but are the game download links on MaGog available for only GOG members , or anyone from the internet ( especially pirates ) can download them ?

You can download only games you own.
If you click on a link to a game you do not own, you will simply get a "forbidden" page.
The MaGog links are nothing special, they link directly to GOG's servers, which take care of the authentication, just like they do in your library.
