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

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.

mrskippy: I'm having the same invalid zip file problem. Why fix something that wasn't really broken?
Update - please use the latest version available via My Account -> My Games section.

mrskippy: Still invalid!!!
There's a v1372 available via My Account (Add to downloader link), it should work fine for you :)

PS: In what browser did you try downloading that v1336 I've linked in my previous post? Was that IE8?

nissa: - why didn't GOG downloader auto-update itself, like it usually does (if I recall correctly) ?
it will be added later on, with the next major version ready. Right now you can minimize it to tray and click "Check for update" manually.

nissa: - why are the downloads so sloooooooooow now ? It makes me cringe to have to wait 30 minutes for a 1 GB download (Arcanum), expecting the Witcher 2 (which I have pre-ordered) to be much more consequential size.
well it shouldn't be like that, majority of users who tried the new downloader report a noticeable increase of speed... By default, the downloader should use 6 simultaneous threads to download every file (while web browsers use just 1) and you can edit this value via Options screen. Now, depending on your connection, this might be not enough or actually too much. In theory starting from 2 connections and above you should see some increase of download speed, however at some value this might start backifing due to the number of concurrent connections openned, so don't get tempted to set it to max if 6 is causing your download speed to decrease.

razy: Quick question, I used the GOG downloader to fetch the Witcher 2. After a while the download completed and everything was green. However, when I tried to run the launcher I got a message the files were corrupted and that I needed to re-download.
Isn't the downloader supposed to verify the integrity and fix such problems? Am I doing something wrong?
You're using the new downloader, yes?
avatar
razy: I believe so. It's v.0.9.0.1372. I downloaded it from the site yesterday, and checked for updates through the app as well.
That sounds odd. Do you have .bin files or chunk files?
avatar
razy: I started the download again so the files are no longer there, but as far as I remember there was one small bin file and many chunk files in the folder
Ah. That's a known issue a few folks have had. If it occurs again, delete one chunk file, download set it to redownload, and it will download just that one chunk and then it should be able to assemble everything for you from there.

jbranin: Not working for me either. It worked earlier tonight, but now when I go to use it. It says "error writing file to disk..."
Hey there,
Could you please PM me if you're using the old or the new downloader? By the error message it seems you're referring to the old one.

Also you're posting to an old thread, which is likely about the downloader which isn't used anymore. Closing.
