I'd want one to download several titles (maybe even all) titles with one or few clicks, including all the extras. Especially as now extras can include some quite important stuff too, e.g. Earth 2140 Trilogy extras include the DOS version of the whole game, which is the only version of the game with properly working enemy AI. (The base Windows version AI is apparently broken, already in retail, and it was never patched to work.).

Also, it would be nice if it was able to make a md5 or whatever checkup automatically, whether the installation files you have downloaded earlier are the current ones, or need a re-download.

But, it has to stay optional. I don't want a mandatory GOG client required to run the games, or even download them. There always has to be the option for http downloads, as a backup solution. I'll try to remember to try it from work tomorrow, but does this version work from corporate networks too, from behind proxy servers? The earlier GOG Downloader didn't IIRC.

Some third-party GOG downloaders made by GOG users apparently work from corporate networks just fine, without any fancy workarounds. Sometimes KISS (keep it simple, stupid) is really the best way.

Some more issues. Upon launch, I get a JIT dialogue box. (see screen).

Another: When adding to the queue Republic: The Revolution, the download doesn't start. It's probably because this game was removed from the catalog while ago.

Sent you an e-mail!

I'm unsure as to what I did to make the debugger window come up. I don't think I uninstalled or changed anything after installing the GOG Downloader.

Tried the new beta as the current downloader has stopped working for me (see: http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/gog_downloader_appears_to_be_broken), and it seems to work fine, the only issue I found so far is that is seems to take quite a number of seconds (in the range of ~20) between launching the program and the main window appearing, not sure if this is an issue or just the fact it's a .NET app, as .NET apps tend to be generally quite horrible anyway.

It's a bit dssapointing to see the downloader using the .NET framework, but such is the trend these days, and I guess it offers the easiest maintenance path for the GoG code monkey(s). :P

I have Republic as well, so I gave it a try too.

"Connection error, try again later!" That's all I get.

Where would I find the log file?

OS: Windows 7 Pro (64 bit)
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 960T (3.00 GHz)
RAM: 4 gb

I hope the information I provided not successfully getting the older version to work helped you guys figure out why slightly longer ping rates caused such an issue. I'll install this now and start working on downloading Anachronox tonight to see how it goes.

{EDIT; 2 seconds later...}
And right out of the gate there's a problem. My browser stops downloading the setup executable at 2.6MB every time I've tried downloading it (three times; that's enough of a test for me), and every time the "predicted" file size was 3.4MB. I tried running the file anyway, and was told that the "setup files appear to be corrupted, download them again". The one time I retried downloading the file over the 'corrupted' file already in my default download folder (I forgot to put it in the Recycle Bin to prevent the retry from being appended with a '(1)'), it downloaded completely.

Also, since this sticky is probably going to get really long really quickly, it might be nice if Firek/the OP made the first post appear on every consecutive page, since it also contains the download link.

Just making a little more noise about update checking. For GOGs.

Each time it starts, the Downloader should check for updated GOGs and it shouldn't be limited to those that are in your current queue, either, but should check each GOG in your "download to" folder.

On the Wiki we maintain a table of installer checksums and whatnot, having updates brought to us automatically would make it so much easier to maintain that table.

Now, currently, the version 2 downloader does get updated GOGs, but only if that GOG was added to the queue in the same "session". IE: I've reinstalled Windows since downloading all of my GOGs, so it won't grab the updates now. That's not ideal, it should just always get updates regardless.

I thought I'd put the downloader through its paces and download The Witcher 2.

I left it going overnight and when I woke up it had stopped and the following message under the progress bar "Checksum error on chunk 0, please contact support!"

The download folder has 911mb and I can't see any way to continue my download. This has never happened with the old downloader so I assume its a bug?

I'm also testing the downloader and interestingly enough, it is using just about excactly half of my bandwith. Which leaves browsing pleasently unaffected, unlike Steam or Origin.

Is that intended?

Did you see the "Number of Concurrent Connections" settings? It's default is a low number.

Bumpin, so people see.

Shouldn't this be a sticky?
