Is the GOG Downloader unable to save your download progress? It seems to cancel all downloads when the computer shuts off. Just want to confirm if that's the case. Thanks.

I think it does. Also when you log off middle of the downloads, your download will get corrupted.

I don't think so. I logged off or closed down Windows while the downloader was still running several times in the past and it just went on where it stopped when I turned it on the next time. Haven't found a corrupted installer so far.

Same here. I also had a download that continued after restarting the downloader.

Weird, my download just disappears when I log out or shut off the pc :s I even get an error message saying logging off will remove unfinished downloads.

I hope the gog galaxy has a more improved resume download option...

Checked again. Logging out and closing the downloader while it's downloading doesn't harm the file. Downloader keeps working for me even when I'm logged out and when I start the reloader again after I shut it down it also works fine. Shutting down the whole computer on the other hand resulted in an incomplete and corrupted file. Could have sworn it worked in the past though.

And I made another check and this time it worked again after shutting down the computer. Did pause the downloader before shutting down though.

So maybe it results in a courrupt file when there's an unexpected crash while it works fine when you shut down in a regular way?

oh christ, I thought it was an actual thing, downloading TW2 EE would have been a fucking nightmare or more than it already was do to my slow internet T_T

Nope no matter what I do, when I log out or log off or when the downloader has to stop (even if it's not unexpected) my download will reset. It even gives a warning message (see wtf) :p Don't know why :s Oh well gog galaxy is in alpha stage so it shouldn't take much time.

EDIT: strange but it seems that the downloader will return when you log in again, it just doesn't show anything expect the download speed lol :s (see WTF2)

That's indeed strange. Whatever I try I can't get the warning messeage you get. The only time I get something similar is when I remove downloads in progress manually (and I always thought that the warning is quite senseless in that case).

How can the downloader act in a complete other way for you than for me?

That's non DRM client for you, wish gog would introduce DRM so we all would experience the same thing ;)

Seriously though, it is weird indeed. I have recently downloaded the client on my laptop though since I download most games on desktop. Maybe they updated the client? Also my download resume glitches out, it only shows download speed :s Oh well lets hope gog galaxy drops real soon.

Hmm. I see. Thanks everyone.

My experience shows it keeps the amount that's been downloaded, and uncompleted files are still queued. Then when you resume, it does a integrity test and resumes where it left off at if it's incomplete.

Finished downloads are removed from the downloader (but not the filesystem).

Note, i think there's a bug that if you remove the installer from a game, it removes it from ALL installers on your queue, as it merely has 'english installer' as it's tag. I rarely see this though.

Keep in mind, shutting down your system and having it interrupted is not the same. yeah Journal filesystems lower the loss of data, but it's not perfect.
