IronArcturus: What about Fallout 1 always mysteriously disappearing? :P

snowkatt: fine ;p
the site is broken enough as it is
they dont need to bork it up even further
But more servers would certainly help the bottlenecking that happens. I've seen the download rates plummet to dial-up ranges quite a bit on GOG.

Gog needs a lot of things...

Gog has been getting more and more haywire recently. Sometimes it feels like the site is barely held together :|

I'm sure Galaxy will be worth it. All the benefits of Steam without the DRM. :)

The more gog grows they will need to get more servers to hold the user base. it will come with time. I myself am pretty sick of it as well but hey it's a small price to pay for drm free content lol just be happy it's not steam we are dealing with. and they are horrid shit when it comes to steam crashing.

We can't stop the GOG bear! We can only hope to contain him!

One of the fastest loading sites in the web (I actually use GOG as my "Browser Benchmark"...) with the most stable download servers needs more bandwidth?
Not sure if your joking....

Obviously they have good connection to Germany then, but here It's often down especially when there is some promo going on like the last Rise of The Triad giveaway. Sometimes just the forums are down for no apparent reason. As for download speed, yes it was bad before but from the last summer it seems good and really stable with or without the GOG Downloader, at least for me.

Breja: >Shudder<

I'm a huge believer in "if it ain't broken don't fix it".

snowkatt: the forum is broken enough as it is you mean
I didn't say "fix nothing" did I? It's like you people understood the exact opposiete of what I wrote :D

And fixing the forum or some other bug or two is not exactly what I think of when I hear "something GOGchanging". When I hear that I think "you won't recognise the site come Monday, and all the kewl new social, mobile features will #BlowYourMind #YOLO"

I think for not having a DRM client, having a pretty damn good Web site (I'm sure those guys almost work 24/7), GOG rules the school. Maybe they could use more fiber in their diet for some better bandwidth!

BTW, my hat's off to those guys working on the GOG Website, it rocks!

gamesfreak64: i am not tech, but i always thought that bandwith = the data that you used when getting gazillions of hits (visitors ) on your site

maybe the servers arent capable of handling all the requests at a same time

when you start a simple website at a host they give you x GB of storage and x bandwith

maybe they call the way a server can handle 100s of thousands of request at a certain time also bandwith but then it is a different then the one that is sued wheb you want to create a site wit a webhoster.

That bear looked like he couldnot handle the load....

justanoldgamer: The term bandwidth as currently used has several definitions:

1. quantity of connections possible at the same time

2. Throughput (this is the purest definition)

3. quantity of data per month. (Throughput is normally quantity of data per seconds)

They're all interconnected but 1 and 2 are the one at play when you can't connect to a web site.
thanks for the reply
the 1 and 2 thats the names i was looking for, thank you for explaining the terms, now i have aquired some more information thats very usefull to me, thanks.

sasuke12: Getting more bandwidth requires spending more money.

Gog can get that money from its consumers.

Vote with your wallet for more bandwidth if you want to.
I've spent a lot of money on here, I do have 130 games on my shelf [135 with unbundling] I've been here 123 days. and as someone else said, the site goes into meltdown with promos, hench not enough bandwidth.

I understand that a lot of new people join the site for the giveaways, so that good. More the Merrier. [unless their trolls/flamers or beggers]

all the best

I'm running into problems too today. Downloading Divinity: Original Sin but it crawls along (24ish kB/s)... Ok so the promos are good, but why can't they foresee a little more bandwidth?
