LynetteC: I'm using the GOG Downloader through Firefox and I've not had any problems. If you're not using the downloader, I'd recommend it. :-)

cdnred: I'll second the recommendation. I used to avoid it, but after trying it out - it's the way to download.
it's a must for the larger downloads :)

dombrewer: Same for me - I've bought about ten games since the start of the sale, and clicked on loads more, but had not a single freebie. Never mind though - I've picked up some great games - everything I wanted, bar SWAT 3 which I kept missing.
This game needs to pop up sooner! ;)

Eh, not really. Takes only about 22 minutes to download a 1.5 GB file.

Austrobogulator: I really have no interest in using a downloader. Downloading via a browser should work. It's fine in Chrome but not Firefox.

FoxySage: Firefox works just fine for me. I don't use the gog downloader either.
=( I wonder why it's not working for me. What have I done to deserve this?

With the downloader you can resume...not so with the browser. A lot can happen in 22 min :)

You mean other than quoting lyrics from Pet Shop Boys songs?

OK, I've turned off the downloader and tried a manual download from my shelf and it's workin fine. There must be something in your settings that's stopping it communicating withh the site.

foxworks: don't feel too bad. you can purchase a lot more and still not get the freebie ;)

Yes, that'd be good, but I'm not staying up all night like I did last night... it's already 3am here, so I'm not holding out. I'll have a look again tomorrow though... ;)

Nope. BTW, it's coming up with 403 - Forbidden.

Might find some help here :

I could also guess it could be something to do with your Anti-Virus, or could be Malware.

Have you tried these?:

1. Clear cache and cookies
2. Disable extensions and add-ons
3. Reset Firefox to 'defaults
4. Re-install firefox
