Chocokyatto: Used the other downloader you guys have been suggesting. Got a checksum error after downloading for awhile. Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?

Strange. Okay. How about this.

Step 1. Download Free Download Manager. http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/
Step 2. Install the program, then make sure you check the plugin which allows you to download from browsers using Free Download Manager
Step 3. Open Internet Explorer, should ask you to enable a plugin for Free Download Manager, allow it.
Step 4. Log into GOG, hover over ACCOUNT, then click LIBRARY, and click The Witcher 3, and click each download link to all the parts. Hopefully Free Download Manager will pick them up and download them with pause support and all. Be sure to accept Free Download Manager's offer or you're going to download using the basic downloader.

That's what I did with my Desura collection, and this should work well for you.

On what file? Just re-download that one file. Simple. In the last several years I have been buying games here, there was only one problem download in several thousand download, so probably not a good idea to use your crap internet connection as a valid reason to jump into piracy. If there really is a problem with one of the files, then speak to GOG's helpdesk.

benlz: The web browser version is partitioned into 7 parts, so it can be easily downloaded if your connection is fast enough. Otherwise you can use GOG downloader (it's not actively supported anymore but I guess it will work at least until Galaxy is out of beta).
Don't be rude, there's tons of people here that can help you :)
Doing that at the moment. Technically I've downloaded the game twice already so uhh thanks for wasting my bandwidth GOG. :')

I don't think its piracy if the game that is being torrented in question was bought to begin with. If anything, I think GOG should support torrents as a means to download games.

Is this kind of stupid shit why pirating is so popular? Simply because you feel entitled to something you have no right downloading.

Oh yes, the OP in question stated they were trying to download The Witcher 3 from GOG endlessly. To download TW3 from GOG, you'd need to buy it or get it as a freebie redeemable on GOG. Either way, if the game is in their account, which is most likely is, they own it. Getting a game they already OWN off a torrent is just a different way to get the game. Then if the OP wishes, they could add the game via GOG Galaxy and order a repair or an update to turn it back to the legit copy.

As for those who don't own the game, feel free to label them what you want. I just felt like making a point here on someone who owns the game and chooses to torrent it.
