NotAUsername404: I can never download things correctly because the downloads tend to stop 3/4ths of the way through. To solve the problem I had to get a download manager so I could continue my downloads after they stopped. I've never had problems with it and I've been using it ever since. When I tried to download a game I bought here the download slowed to a crawl after five minutes, and completely stopped after ten. I later found out that there was an installer supplied to download the games here. After two minutes of using it, it crashed, leaving no error messages. I tried again and the same thing happened. I tried messing with various compatibility and firewall settings, but they did nothing.

I can't seem to figure out what the problem is and no one else seems to have it as far as i've seen.
I have, however, seen that many people find that the claim that the installer can continue after stopping is a downright lie, or that the package size is completely ridiculous.

Onion: @Szulak: I have no AV programm, and I already add **gog.com to the firewall whitelist.
Though as I already told, I tried it with deacitvated firewall and it would still stay in offline mode, no prompt to login.

The only option I have is to download without the downloader, and I noticed that it has to be that all files should be downloaded the same day, as there are problems with the integrity check. I have already downloaded all files but not on the same day, and those files didn`t pass the integrity check as they were named different. Renaming them didn`t help.

So in the FAQ you write:

"Make sure that the installer passed the file integrity check - if not, please redownload it by using the GOG.com Downloader. This application offers full protection against download problems."

---not working for me. Very dissapointed.

eleve: MacPro 3,1 (209i), Os X 10.8.3, 16 GB RAM. I just downloaded the downloader v 1.2 and noticed a bad effect.

When I add a file like eg.The Witcher install file (rather big) via the browser, the downloader goes and gets the info on the file as it should but then something happens (no entries in either GOG.log or system log) and it starts to chew up all the memory on the machine. It takes ~1 min for the _Real_ memory (not virtual but real memory) to go from ~10GB free down to ~10MB free at which point the whole machine grinds to a halt and it gets very difficult to do anything even like quitting the downloader.

The first time this happened I reacted too late and the system took a hang report from the downloader. You can have that if you want but my guess is that it'll just show the program (as most of the other programs on the machine at this point) being unresponsive because the machine had run out of memory.

The weird thing is that this seems to happen only with the single file downloads. I also started the download for the bonus material and that is working fine sofar.

edit: I made a short video to show this effect at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ilow_DvxDo though it only shows graphically what I wrote down here.
