I still can't get the new downloader to recognize "Add to Downloader" requests from My Account. And the old Adobe Air version is giving me "Invalid Password" errors.

Windows 7 x64 w/SP1
Firefox 4 (latest stable)

Still invalid!!!

Alright,

since I just (re)purchased three new games (can't stop the Arcanum, Fallout and Planescape love, I guess ^.^), I wanted to download them through the GOG downloader.

When I started it, to connect, I got a wrong password message. I am sure the password was correct, since I could use it to connect to this site.

So, I went to browse the forums, and found this thread. I downloaded GOG downloader's new version, proceed to connect and it worked this time.

Two questions please :

- why didn't GOG downloader auto-update itself, like it usually does (if I recall correctly) ?
- why are the downloads so sloooooooooow now ?

It makes me cringe to have to wait 30 minutes for a 1 GB download (Arcanum), expecting the Witcher 2 (which I have pre-ordered) to be much more consequential size.

So, GOG team, you have never let us down.

What gives on this new downloader ? Should I actually avoid it in the future, to use direct download from site ?

Heh. Thirty minutes for 1GB makes you cringe? You should see my connection speed.

I've placed the x.1372 executable on my desktop, and now when I click the "Add to downloader" link on the My Account page, a two-step page will appear. I click "Add to Downloader" again, and FireFox 4 will ask me to choose a program to open all future "gogdownloader" links with, and I selected the 1372 exe on the desktop. Now all links open properly in the downloader.

IE8 .... worked fine in Firefox though.

I still can't get it to work. One remark - it's needs_terminal, not need-terminal. Nonetheless, after all that I still can't see a gogdownloader entry in the Applications tab. I even rebooted with no effect. On the other hand, I have a picasa handler installed and both picasa and gogdownloader entries seems the same in gconf-editor. Picasa handler works, though.

What can I be doing wrong? :(

EDIT: oh, never mind, GOGDownloader crashes for me when trying to log in (I use wine 1.2.2) so even if I managed to set this up it wouldn't work anyway.

I guess I'll be downloading files via Firefox. A pity, the previous AIR-based downloader worked perfectly...

Thanks, edited the post

you could update to latest development version, assuming you're using Ubuntu
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine-1.3


if you don't need a GUI you can use this for downloading
sudo apt-get install build-essential libhtmlcxx-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev
curl "https://pzt.me/aozf@raw" -o gogdownloader.cpp
g++ gogdownloader.cpp -Wall -lcurl -lhtmlcxx -o gogdownloader

usage/help: ./gogdownloader -h

How do I get urls? Do I have to look at the page source or is there any simpler way? Firefox doesn't show an address when moving a mouse over "add to queue" button...

I get this (I moved gogdownloader to ~/bin and I have it in PATH):
---
$ gogdownloader -s

Download file with
gogdownloader URL
---
even though I logged in before...

probably can't find the cookie file for some reason, try this
gogdownloader -c ~/cookies.txt -l
gogdownloader -c ~/cookies.txt -s

Still nothing. My e-mail address besides letters has a dot and a '+' sign - maybe it's causing problems? (if curl has problems with that, of course, email variable is a usual string, so it should work OK).

BTW, where did you get this code from?
