I can't help, but I thought this would be a good thread to share the experiment I did last night.
I downloaded a game using my browser, like I always used to, and it took 9 minutes.
I then deleted the game, installed the GOG download tool, and downloaded it again. And this time I added all the other extras.
The game and all the other extras finished in under 4 minutes. Less than half the time.
Needless to say, I'm now sold on which way to download.
As for your issue, is it possible it's there and you just missed it??
I ask because I did this yesterday. The download "box" has been coming up "underneath" the game I click on (rather than to the right or left of it, as it used to) and because that game was already located at the bottom of the screen, I didn't see it. I too thought something was wrong, but then scrolled down and found the options to downoad with the GOG downloader or your browser.
I know that's in all likelihood not what happened to you, but thought I'd share it since it did happen to me and just in case it was what happened to you despite it being a long shot.
