CodeMangler: I keep getting the same exception over and over again, and I think it corrupts the download (can't say for sure yet).
I've been trying to download The Witcher 2:EE for like the past 4 days. It took me about 3 days to download the entire 15GB of the game, during which, I got plenty of these exceptions. At the end of the download, the GOG downloader just failed saying that the download was corrupted. I tried restarting the downloader, and tried to re-add the game for download hoping that the downloader would redownload only the missing files, but no such luck. I had to discard the entire download, and start all over again.
I've been getting the same exceptions this time too, so, I don't really know if the download will go through this time either. If you have a fix for this, could you please push it out already? I can't really afford to download 15GB a third time.
Also, in general, could you please enhance the downloader so that it fixes corrupt downloads by redownloading only the corrupted parts? It's not that hard to do. It's really not easy waiting for a game to download for over a day, only to have to restart it at the end of it due to a few corrupt files.
I get those Net Framework errors also. In addition I was downloading a very large file from another vendor and some how GOG was causing errors in my download. I had corrupted downloads repeatedly until I unloaded the GOG downloader.I've been trying to download The Witcher 2:EE for like the past 4 days.
