Conrad57: Hi! I hope my phrasing didn't mislead you a little. When i said they "just wrapped new downloads into...", I meant "just" in the sense of timing, such as, "just recently wrapped..." Also, my later comment was "Still, LOTS of downloading. Hey, if the game is running well, why bother?"
yeah, I got that. I know you meant they recently switched to a bigger file size, instead of the smaller one they had been using before. I was just... ranting against GOG for doing that. my connection is unstable enough to appreciate what steam does. say, downloading a FEW Mb is way better than having to redownload one big 1.5 Gb file, just because they added a translation. well, just let me download the translation file (which should take only a few Mb), and not the whole package. say: diffs.
I mean, I'm not lying when I say simcity4 (~1Gb) took two days to download(1).... I don't really want to redownload the whole witcher2, thanks.
(1) actually that was because the connection kept resetting, the download manager stalled, I had to close it and open it again, and then it was on chunk 63 again. it was a bit painful, to be honest.
