it keeps saying my password is wrong

Downloads are working with the latest version of GOG Downloader (i.e., 0.9.0.1372) - at least here. However, closing the Downloader window doesn't end the Windows process. You have to end the process manually in order to make the Downloader window appear again.

GOG Downloader is running on Windows 7 64Bit Pro.

Cheers

Update: D'oh - closing the window makes the Downloader minimize to the system tray. Didn't see that coming - so I guess everything's fine in this case.

I got the latest version gogdownloader_0901372, I am able to run it but I can't add games to the downloader.
Firefox4 says "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (gogdownloader) isn't associated with any program.".

How do I associate this protocol to gogdownloader ? (just can't find the option).

I'm using Linux and running it under Wine (the older downloaders had no problems).

There's got to be some system setting on how to associate protocols with an application (that decides which application to open when you click on a link starting with mailto:, http:, ftp: whatever:... and in this case gogdownload:). The earlier version didn't use a protocol association but instead repeatedly queried a web service or database if there were any updates to your download list.

An easier solution might be to install the Windows version of a web browser under Wine, since it'll probably pick up the URL association registered by the GOG Downloader.

Try the older 0.9.0.1336 version mentioned by Destro (http://www.gog.com/download/GOGDownloader.0.9.0.1336.zip). I had the same association problem with the 0.9.0.1372 version, but using the older 0.9.0.1336 version works.

Getting gogdownloader:// url handler working with Firefox/Iceweasel

create a bash script
#!/bin/bash
wine /path/to/GOGDownloader.exe $1

save as "gogdownloader"
chmod +x gogdownloader

gconftool-2 --set --type=string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/gogdownloader/command '/path/to/gogdownloader "%s"'
gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/gogdownloader/enabled true
gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/gogdownloader/needs_terminal false

start Firefox/Iceweasel and go to
edit -> preferences -> applications -> gogdownloader -> use other and select the bash script

gogdownloader:// urls should be working now

With the new version of today, I changed my password to something only letters and digits and it works. The length is still between 12 to 20 char long.

ISSUES & COMMENTS ABOUT THE DOWNLOADER, GOG PLEASE READ:

1) The downloader has compatibility issues with Avira AntiVir WebGuard. It will not download until I manually disable this module.

2) Please add right-click "open containing folder" option.

3) I have an issue with Firefox 4 that open multiple "Launch Application" windows when I click "Add game to Downloader" for a second game (after one has already been added to downloader). Please see the attachment for an example of three opened windows at once when adding a third game to downloader.

Suggestions:

- "Combining" a download takes some time on large files. It would be smart if in the meantime the downloader will start the next download in order to use bandwidth during this time.

- Please make the downloader window resizable, especially in height. It is a little bit uncomfortable to scroll trough the small window.

If the downloader is quit during the "integrity check", when the downloader is restarted the file being checked is directly labeled as "completed" in spite the fact that the integrity check was not completed before.

I fired up the downloader recently to make sure it was working before the Witcher 2 comes out. When I try and log in it says my email or password is wrong. I went to GOG.com and logged myself out and then back in with the same info and was able to log back in. My memory is that the info to log into the downloader is the same as to log into the site so I am now sure what is wrong.

seems you have the same trouble as i have

First download the new Windows only GOGDownloader.exe from GOG. Make sure Wine is installed with all of it's Deps. Move the GOGDownloader.exe file to ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files. notice the .wine folder is hidden so first make hidden files visible for your Distro (on Fedora 13 KDE just press the Alt+. keys). Once you have moved the Downloader I would strongly recommend that you put an underscore in the Program_Files name so you don't have trouble with the Linux CLI seeing it as two separate files this is also the name I used in the bash script.

Now open Kwrite or a Text Editor of your choice, and copy/paste the two lines of text into the editor. This creates a Bash Shell Script when saved.


#!/bin/bash
wine /drive_c/Program_Files/GOGDownloader.exe $1

Save this in a Folder of your choice as "gogdownloader.sh" (I would recommend a new GOG Folder in your Home Directory)
Go to the GOG folder now or wherever you put the script. Open a terminal there and paste in the following code.

~]$ chmod +x gogdownloader.sh (Makes the script executable)

I'm gambling here that most Linux users browse with Firefox if not you will probably have to use an alternative method to set the Protocol.

We need to tell FF where to look for an App to match the gogdownloader protocol For Firefox 3.5 & Above

Open Firefox
Type about:config into the Location Bar (address bar) and press Enter.
Right-click -> New -> Boolean -> Name: network.protocol-handler.expose.gogdownloader -> Value -> false
Next time you click a link of the gogdownloader protocol you will be asked which application to open it with, browse to your GOG folder & open it and click on the gogdownloader.sh script and hopefully everything should work fine

There are of course other methods of setting the protocol as has been shown here by another member but I think this one is a little more painless

Thanks are owed to MozillaZine from whom I shamelessly pillaged the above info.

If you're using Comodo Firewall or AntiVirus make sure the process is not being isolated or sandboxed. Because it will not work.
