TLDR:
Is anyone else having issues getting anything to download from GOG for more than 10-15 minutes at a time? Or is it just me that's having issues?
Full explanation:
I'm in IN, USA. Trying to download a copy of Elminage Gothic.
If I use Chrome, the download hangs sometime along the way, usually very early, and while it's running it downloads at about a tenth of my normal downloading speeds.
Out of desperation I tried the GOG downloader app. It gets stuck with "Checksum error on chunk 0, please contact support!". Sometimes I've gotten lucky and got it to checksum 2 or 3, but it never gets past that. I should probably note that downloading the small 3.5 MB downloader itself also took 3 tries due to the same disconnecting issues as above. The downloader seems to be unable to recover from whatever it's hung up on without being shut down, closed, and restarted entirely.
For the record, everything else on the net works fine from here, I've been playing Guild Wars this afternoon and the patches for that went through at normal speed. I can browse the net just fine as well, including most of GOG, except the screenshots for games on the GOG store pages take a long time to load and sometimes get stuck unloaded.
I know the error message says to contact support, but I wanted to make sure I'm not one of a flood of people doing so. So I'm posting here instead to check if any of you might be having a similar issue today.
