It seems that you're using an outdated browser. Some things may not work as they should (or don't work at all).
We suggest you upgrade newer and better browser like: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Opera

hangintotheleft: Downloader still isn't working for me. Just says the queue is empty even after I refresh it.
Same here. Download queue is not refreshing.

And shame, i was hoping for the new version of the app with new features... App is stil beta, right? You said you're out of beta, so you should improve the downloader too ;)

Resil: We are working as hard as we can to bring back a fully working Downloader - we don't have an exact date but it will be back soon.
Cool, please improve it a bit then. I can wait a month or two for that :)

And for christ sakes, air is cool, don't listen to the fools recommending flash and silverlight!

p.s. people, flash is almost the same as air, but standalone. I prefer air. And silverlight has a really bad adoption rate. I don't wanna install it at all.
glad to see its not just me having the problem. I thought it might have been a weird interaction with the beta of IE9 since you also can't scroll the popup boxes
if possible please don't use Adobe AIR anymore, it's a really shitty VM and the old downloader was full of bugs, even java would be a better choice

I lol'd, really. Anybody who used any java based downloader knows how slow this crap is.

I know but it's better than AIR! And I hate Java :)
The best choice would be of course a little C++ client, even C# would be better but I suppose they could not want .net dependencies.

Adobe AIR is basically stand-alone Flash. And believe me that Flash virtual machine is even worse than the JVM.
It has a shitty, bugged, garbage collector and the runtime itself is very prone to bugs

SilentChe: Can a downloader be made based on HTML5 standards, instead of AIR/Flash/Silverlight etc.?
If it can, then that is what I would prefer.
You need to use a browser engine for HTML5 which should be IE9 (beta and does not work on XP) or Firefox 4 (beta) or Chrome.
Does anyone know when we could expect the donloader to work again? Just bought Baldur's Gate and was looking forward to some hours of old-school-RPG-awesomeness. Too bad my Internet connection is to unstable for downloading a 1.7 GB file through my browser...
I have the same problem - nothing is shown, even though I refresh the list.

So far I'm not terribly impressed with the new GOG. First the tactless PR stunt, then a forum and a site that don't work as well as they did in the so-called beta phase.

Please get your act together ASAP.
agreed, they needed to spend the time plotting that stupid stunt on fixing the site instead
The option to add an item to the downloader queue is not showing up now, so I guess they're at least working on the problem.
huh.
still works.

cannot add new games but tropico is being downloaded at the moment without any problem.
Jeeze....and i just finally fixed my gog downloader because my browser's downloader cant even work on fallout correctly...hurry it up
Trying to download IL-2: 1946 but no luck :(
Still errors while downloading two 2 GB files (usually happens around 50 %), even if I use download managers (addons in Firefox) and 1 MB/s download rate. And there is no possibility to restore downloading...
Tried in IE and also the same (dies at some point).
Guys, I hope you are working on it :)

We really need the downloader back. a 384k connection always bombs on big downloads faster than the 10h required :(

I want BG as well(need the DLer)
