McNastyPrime: I can't seem to get FDM or downthemall to download the game files at all.

I've tried starting the download in the browser, copying the download link to the download manager and resuming but it's not happening.

Any ideas on what I'm missing?

I've got 3 games that I just bought that I cannot download.

Turjake: What disappoints me the most is the fact that GOG spent two years in beta, and when they finally launch the new site with supposedly full functionality, their downloader stops working. What they were doing during those two years of beta if not planning how to make the transition as smoothly as possible, is a mystery to me. Doesn't seem very professional at all.

Now I can live without the official downloader - I have a fast connection and I can use other programmes if I must. But if a company that specializes in digital distribution of computer games is unable to provide their customers with a working downloader, well, that's just not very professional. And the lack of communication isn't helping either.

That being said, GOG's idea is still brilliant and I will keep supporting them. I just hope that someday they'll win back the respect I used to have for them. Getting the new site to work as well as the beta did would be helpful.

And maybe the forum won't eat this post, or somehow combine it with my previous posts...

LazyAndroid: This might or might not help:

Go to this page
DownThemAll
to install it on Firefox like an addon.
Once installed, restart the browser.
Go to GOG, log in. Click on the game you want to download, left-click on download using browser.
A dialog should appear, asking you whether to "save file" or "DownThemAll!"
Choose DownThemAll! Another dialog appears, click on the folder to the right on the line where it says save files in. Choose the folder and then say start.

If you get an error 403, it means the server was to busy at the moment the programm was searching for the file. So click again on Download using browser. This time a new option should appear, "dTa OneClick!" Use this one this time. If it still doesnt work, repeat. Once it finds the file, it shouldn't be a problem anymore. It won't break up, and if you break it up, you'll probably be able to resume.

kalirion: Just right clicking on the link in your account library view doesn't get you the right one. You actually have to start the download in the browser, then copy the link the browser is using for the active download. Stop the browser download, and paste the link in the download manager of your choice. Repeat each time you want to resume - all download managers worth their salt allow you to change the URL of a file in progress.

beeawwb: Well, that was a waste of 3 hours. Set DownThemAll to get Baldurs' Gate. 1.7GB... It gets to 95%, my connection (not the most stable at the best of times) hiccups, and the download will no longer resume. 403 - forbidden.

Bugger. :(

kalirion: Um, you haven't been reading any of the instructions here on how to resume downloads, have you....
