Ok, maybe I just got unlucky, or maybe it is a bug. I was downloading The Witcher 2 and decided to go with the GOG downloader... Wish I had downloaded through the regular browser. After downloading up to 14.9 GB, the download paused indefinitely... It still says "downloading" but the status bar is not moving and the download speed is 0 B/s...

Now normally, I would just begin downloading all over, had I been back home in the states. Sadly I am stuck in a third world country where they limit internet access, including how much you download. I am given a 25 GB quota (this is the best package by the way) and exceeding that results in a penalty of $10 per GB (this is in excess of the $80 I already pay for the package). So I am sure you understand my frustration now at the piece of junk that is the GOG downloader :(

I must admit, before all the big titles with large download sizes came to GOG, the downloader was working fine and I was able to easily download the 20 or so games that I have. However, now I am not so sure about the reliability of the downloader.

Just wanted to vent a little and perhaps provide some insight to people who face similar draconian ISP services.

Read the downloader thread stickied at the top of this forum...

There are a few known issues with the current one (can't download Mac installers greater than 2GB, pausing indefinitely at done etc etc)...

There is a beta 3.2.21.0 that fixes a lot of these that you can get from the thread.

Cheers, but this doesn't help me at this point. internet quota has been all but spent now (thanks largely to GOG's downloader)... I guess I will use it next month then :/

PS: it wasn't a mac download

When u use browser, is there a way to stop and shutdown computer, then resume next day after turning computer back on?

Did gog save the download in packets? If so you can just add those packets to your new download and it will almost be finished.

A fair point, but that is why I use a download manager for downloads with a browser, which does pretty much what you described. Well, I went to the location where the files were saved, and there were some stuff there. However, after an hour or so, those files disappeared and only 3 of the files were left behind (totaling 2 GB of the 14.9 GB it said it had downloaded).

Mind if I ask which 3rd-world country?
