You don't have any strange characters in your password do you? There seems to be a few that cause trouble, = being one of them (and I bet there are a couple others as well).
Earlier in this thread, yes.

I found that if you attempt to download any game using GOG - Downloader, make sure that you have enough disk space on C: drive (or WINDOWS drive) because the partial download of your game is stored Users/My Documents folder in Windows 7.

No, but my email address has a + in it. Why doesn't the downloader accept special characters?

Your welcome. I'm so looking foward to playing The Witcher 2!

No problem

Hi.
Just dl'ed the 0.9.0.1372 downloader and I'm having some trouble downloading The Witcher and The Witcher 2.

Login is fine and it works to download the rest of the games I have bought but when I try to download the two witcher titles the games come up in the dl'er with the note "fetching download size..." but then I get an error "Cannot fetch game details, please use our contact form".

Win7 firewall has an exception for the gog dl'er but I've also tried disabling the firewall altogether to no effect.
I've also tried disabling my AV (Avast) also with no diffence.

I can dl them through the browser but as I'm using a wireless connection (nothing else available I'm afraid) I don't want to have to dl 9gig only to find I have crc errors when I try to unpack them or as has happened, dl 1.4 gig and have my connection reset and the dl fail and have to restart the dl . :( Would profer to use the gog dl'er.

When I check in TCP view whats happening, gogdl'er establishes a port, sends 3 packets, receives 3-5 packets then the port goes to CLOSE_WAIT state and it repeats about 25 times before the dl'er displays the error state.

I'm running win7 (64) SP1, FF 3.6.17, GoG DL'er 0.9.0.1372. with a wireless connection.

Any help appreciated.

edit: I've also tried setting UAC to lowest level.

Don't know, contact support about it.

You can manually set the destination.

Hi!

I did experience same problems (also on WIN 7 x64).

First solution - as already mentioned here in the thread - is try running the .exe within the winrar, 7zip (or similar) program instead of extracting it first.

Second solution: try experimenting with the Windows compatibility settings. In my case it has helped to choose Windows XP Service Pack 2 (AND don't forget: 'run as administrator') to finally get it working again.

Strange thing, until yesterday everything worked flawlessly...

right now i cannot get past the login screen of th downloader. it keeps saying that email and/password is wrong. i recently downlaoded a few games but now it suddenly stopped working. the website accepted my email and password when i changed my password but that didnt helped either.

Same problem I'm having. Downloader will not let me log in yet the website works fine.

nevermind. I figured it out. If you're trying to run the downloader from the shortcut in your start menu you are running the wrong file. The downloader is now a stand-alone executable that you dont even need to install. DL the downloader and just extract the exe it gives you o your desktop and run that. Plain and simple. No installation necessary.

My downloader just deleted ~400 MB of the Witcher 2 that I had just started downloading. I paused the downloader for a minute, and resumed it again, only to see it jumping back to 0 MB. No files present in the folder either.

there is a workaround
go to opera options/programs page
there delete the gog protocol association
next time you start a download an unknown protocol window will show up
do NOT click on "do not show this...." (if you do you will need to delete it again)
click yes and it will work again
