marcob: I find it very difficult to download files larger than 2 GB as GOG frequently interrupts its connection and a file so large is not typically saved as a recoverable part on disk, so I find myself at start point when I try to complete the download later.

marcob: Have you found some trick or official way to better manage these archives? An external (reliable) software maybe? A function I don't know of? Anything other than just getting a more performing connection, obviously.

At the same time, kind of the opposite issue sometimes arises, when I would like to easily give a bulk command to download all files of a same type/set (usually small ones). Think of receipts, extras, all the assets of a single game entry, etc. for backup purpose; doing it manually is a time-consuming chore. Any suggestion for this also?

Timboli: Are you using Galaxy to do the downloading? If so it should have a resume ability.

Otherwise you would need a third party program with a supported resume ability with GOG. Free Download Manager 5 used to work, but by all accounts it no longer works with the same download link after something like 10 minutes, if you lose the connection after that. I do recall reading there is a way to add a new version of the link to an existing download, but haven't tried that myself.

Lgogdownloader has a resume ability I think, but that is Linux only.

gogrepo.py the Kalanyr fork has some resume ability, but requires you have Python installed and some necessary dependencies.

BreOl72: That begs the question: what is your current connection?
