Bugger. :(
I like the site, but if they can't get this sorted I won't be buying any more games from them for a while.

I have no problems using my browser to download large files, if they`d work (this is the first time I`ve had problems doing it). I`ve tried downloading my newly bought Arcanum twice, both of which failed randomly at some point. I just left it downloading and would check back regularly to see how it was doing. The first one died somewhere around 75% and the second try I`m not sure. I left it going and went to watch a movie. Once I got back it was dead.
Thus, I downloaded Air and the downloader, only to find out it`s seemingly useless. I can`t find any way to actually download my games with it. It`s just blank and if I click a game in my account it only gives me the option of downloading with my browser again.
I`m now trying it a third time. I`m getting around 650 kbés, so it should take about a half hour. Good start, but the other tries started well too.

I'm going to have to wait for the downloader to get fixed as having to manually copy and paste a new download URL every time a 2 gig file times out with a 403 would mean I'd have to almost be permanently in front of my PC due to my slow connection. I've tried using FDM but I get only a third of my speed when downloading through it. I'm trying out Downthemall's beta version which allows you to add multiple URLs to act as mirrors.

Still, shouldn't have to jump through hoops.

Ok I'm fed up with trying to download without the downloader. My download of Planescape tornment cuts of arround 80%. Problem is that we still have limited download amount in belgium.
I tried using down them all but it doesn't work for me keep getting the same problem.

As I said in my first post at least inform people on your homepage that they may not be able to download the games they buy, failing to do so while still taking people
s money is just dishonest

The best way I found to do it is to use Free Download Manager and continue downloading until it stops (ie the download link expires). Restart the download by starting a fresh download from your GOG account. When it opens in FDM stop it and right click on it and then click download properties. Copy whatever is in the "URL:" section and paste it into the URL: section of your 50-75% completed download that you started earlier. Click start at the top of your FDM toolbar and hopefully it should resume where you left off...
All the best.

Last game I buy. I started using this site because I have a shitty satellite in afghanstan and the downloader was perfect. I figured be a loyal customer here and get easy to play games with downloader. Issue happen with sites, but when they due you inform your customers. Even worse when its a site that gives a service to a small community.

The GoG download link expires after 1 minute, so if your download interrupts after that you can't resume. This is obviously bad for those with unstable connections. The GoG downloader didn't have this problem.
