now thats weird, there seems to be working downloader for linux, guess i will take a look at your code ... lets see what i can do.
At the first looks it does not have anything working ... oh well i hope i isn't too difficult to write a downloader, i will fork your project :)

thanks, I saw it on Github, that you forked it, awesome =)
this is the direct port of the lgogdownloader by Sude

In my opinion, a Java version is better than a C++ version (compile once run everywhere) ;-)

Somehow i dislike how the original cpp-downloader seems to download just everything.
But maybe i'm wrong ... just didn't find any clue of a selective download in the source.

generally they all use the same command line options and they are normally combined

I think one methid is for downloading the extras and one for the game.
The covers are not from gog.com but from one of the developers of the inofficial API

In fact, I did not see any method for (re)downloading a single file but as far as I know the downloader compares the MD5 checksums of the downloaded files and the files on the server using the XML file(s).

So the download should be skipped for already downloaded files

Is this still being worked on, or is this dead now?

Is it a dead project or just stalled? Because last activity is about 11 months-1 year ago.

Hi there,

sorry for the belated answer.

I do not work on this project at the moment but the sourcecode and the forks are still here:
https://github.com/DanielRuf/xgogdownloader

It is based on https://github.com/Sude-/lgogdownloader

Sorry guys also stopped working on it because i read that gog wants to create something like steam.
I wanted to wait till it gets clear if they develop their own downloader or not :/

I do not mean the regular downloader, but this thing: http://www.gog.com/news/introducing_gog_galaxy
No clue what happened to it, i was not following the news recently.

It's in alpha. Eventually it will replace the regular GOG downloader.
