*UPDATE*

After restarting my computer, I am able to download the patch files properly using the GoG Downloader. Not sure if me actually restarting my computer contributed to that in any way, but I am now downloading the patch. ^_^

captaink: What a freaking fiasco. I like GOG but at least Steam can deliver patches in a reasonable manner.
Well i guess you shouldn't of signed up for GOG "BETA". Here let me help you with the definition of beta: Beta software refers to computer software that is undergoing testing and has not yet been officially released. To compare Steam that has been around for years in RELEASE to GOG that has been around for a few months in BETA. Or maybe you didn't notice the Version (beta) in upper left hand corner. Or maybe you just to young to remember all the problems steam had when it was released.

oh crap, I was redownloading the witcher 3 for the last 3 days, got about 60% and now getting "not authorized" / "server problem". It seems and I fear that the download has reset so that it has to start over completely. I guess i'll have to wait and see.

I'm not just talking about Galaxy. I'm talking about the main GOG site as well.

Since the site is (displayed) integrated in the client, it's the same actually. And I don't like it either.

Btw. while I can download and install the patch (sans Galaxy) and run the game just fine, the changelog entry is still missing.
Well, I will have to find out on my own if they fixed "Fools Gold" (I can't examine the pigs...)

Those worked perfectly for me. Do you have the Downloader installed?
PS: Installing the patch right now...

Eirreann: Yeah, I have it installed. As I said, when I click on the link (on the page you linked me to), the files will download in GoG Downloader as an unknown file type titled "a". It's only a few Kb large. Not sure what's going on there....

RvLeshrac: The difference between today and the release of HL2 is that we've had ten years of technology and scalability lessons to build on.

Ten goddamned years.

There's no excuse for not being able to produce a scalable software distribution client in the year 2015.

Eirreann: That's not really the issue. The issue is not anticipating the sheer number of people that would try to access web-based content all at once and overloading the servers. It happened with Half-Life 2 (and many other games besides [practically every big MMO launch in recent memory], and now it seems to be happening to the hands-down biggest patch of one of the most popular games of the year. I'm not surprised in the least, nor do I hold anybody at fault.
If only someone like Akamai, Amazon, Microsoft, AT&T, Limelight, Accelia, BitNet, or dozens of other companies provided indefinitely scalable on-demand content hosting and delivery.

Boy, that sounds super-affordable. Clearly, since it's that easy, this kind of thing never happens and even a small lower-budget service like GoG should truly be ashamed for their mistakes...

Also, *UPDATE 2*

GoG Galaxy started downloading the patch for me just now. Maybe it will do the same for others?

It may take a while to get the patch. Just think of how many people are trying to update their game.
Posted July 18, 2015
Well the game is now 34GB instead of 27GB and galaxy aborted the 60% download and is starting again from zero. Thats really annoying with not great bandwidth.

The point of a CDN is to allow the purchase of bandwidth on-demand, thus reducing the overhead of having to spin up additional endpoints manually, and then pull them down manually at a later time.
