It seems that you're using an outdated browser. Some things may not work as they should (or don't work at all).
We suggest you upgrade newer and better browser like: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Opera

Johny.: @te_lanus download scenarios you described works OK for me - I'll try on my Linux at home maybe, but please write to support, maybe they will know better? I'll do another guess - try to save the files in different location at your disk?
Seems I'm running into one of GOG's bugs that "isn't fixable". According to support, it happens to a small group of users who's, like mine, ip addresses change. I've got a IP address and my ISP has one, and GOG sees both, so no luck downloading :P (without using the support supplied workaround

How does that work? Is it some sort of "Satellite Internet where the dial-up upstream and satellite downstream have different IPs" thing?
I think it must be a recent GoG change (because I've never noticed it before and now can't help but see it) but I'm getting a weird bug with the footers in the forum. Basically there's an extra large space at the bottom of the forum, but only if I don't hover over the last post in a thread (if that makes sense).

So if I hover the mouse over the second last post on a page I get a big space, and if I hover over the last post I get a normal one. I've tried an Incognito window with no scripts and it still does it (and I tried Barefoot's fix for what sounds like a similar issue but it does nothing, it fixes it sometimes but other times makes the footer overlap the last post, so it's no good)

As far as I can see, this bug is specific to Chrome and Opera (which share the same engine).
Firefox and Safari for Windows show only the regular space (regardless of hover).
Internet Explorer shows only the large space (regardless of hover).

I'm consistently seeing the large space in Firefox Aurora.

It's caused by a `.footer-spacer { height: 410px; }` rule in legacy.10.css that's the shortest of quite a stack of media-query-gated rules of similar nature and seems to be some kind of "prevent the footer from covering up the last post" hack that wasn't actually paired with one of the CSS rules that would take the footer out of the normal layout calculation flow (eg. things like `position: absolute`).

Sorry. You're right. Forgot that BE fixes it automatically for me in Firefox.

This sounds a lot like the issue real.geizterfahr reported a few days back, and he's also on Chrome, so perhaps mrkgnao is not that far off, and it is something specific to that engine.

Without the use of BE there is indeed a large space between the last post and the footer, regardless of browser. But note that what both adaliabooks and real.geizterfahr reported is a bit different and caused by hovering over the two last posts of a forum page.

This is what's happening in Chrome when the space is small. I'm still trying to figure out why since nothing is visibly changing on the "footer-spacer" class when I hover back and forth and I'm either not using the DOM Breakpoints feature properly or the DOM on both it and the ".content" above it aren't changing either.

Also, I suspect it might be JavaScript-related because it's not directly tied to hover. (The space collapses when your cursor enters the last post but only expands when you enter another post, not when you leave the last one.)

EDIT: Nope. I disabled JavaScript and it's still happening... so my next hypothesis is that it's some kind of Blink layout engine bug where the relevant code only runs on entry into a block with a :hover rule like the one which displays the "Online" badges and permalinks.

...and I've just confirmed that it IS Blink-specific because mrkgnao says it happens in Chrome and Opera but not Safari for Windows and I've also confirmed that Arora (QtWebKit) and Midori (GTKWebKit) are unaffected. Unfortunately, I don't have a QWebEngine demo handy, so I can't check whether the Qt5-provided version of Blink is also affected.
