And use browser downloads = might also not work. This could be an issue with his connection and packet loss when downloading from GOG or some other issues with his ISP reaching GOG's servers. This could be user error.. or it could be Galaxy. To many what if's to blame Galaxy or anything else.

Depending on download speed and size it sure can. Also OP is clearly downloading multiple games at one time, as far as we know he could be downloading 10 or more games overnight.

The thing is though, that if you tell Galaxy to download 100 things, it doesn't download them in parallel but rather in series so it makes no difference if you tell it to download 1 thing or 500 as it downloads them all one at a time. Any requested downloads greater than one are queued and sit there doing nothing until the current download completes. If someone experiences a download problem it shouldn't have anything to do with whether they told it to download one thing or a multitude of things. Any download failures I've ever encountered with Galaxy to date have been due to running out of disk space on my end, or a GOG server error due to the file actually not existing on their end (reported and Judas usually fixes within 24-72 hours or so), or other GOG server related issues. Again, it should have nothing at all to do with having told it to download many things as it does not download multiple things simultaneously which is confirmed by holding the Download view open with the mouse with multiple things queued and seeing that only one is being downloaded at a time.


I agree the problem could be unrelated to Galaxy itself, but have to again say that Galaxy doesn't download multiple things at a time no matter how many things you tell it to download, it just queues them up.

I was more referring to the fact that when you download multiple things at one time (in rapid order of being finished) it's all the more common to have at-least a few fail due to issues you described above. Single downloads (non queued) it's far less noticeable. I know Galaxy downloads one by one, that wasn't what I meant.

Also as I said above it could be a simple matter of the downloads stopping due to OP sleeping and not being able to install third party requirements that a game may need. Perhaps Galaxy is timing out? Pretty sure it will continue to the next queued download though if one was to really fail.

Agreed. This again, was taken slightly out of context. I was referring to multiple queued downloads effecting size and taking all night to download.

Yeah, whenever I have a failed download it proceeds to the next one. Almost all of my usage is downloading the standalone installers/patches/extras though, I rarely install games directly with Galaxy unless it is for direct beta testing purposes as most of the games are many times larger to install than to download the installer and install manually as they do not appear to have added delta updates with compression to the client yet except with a few select titles perhaps. The release notes of 1.1.13 suggest they may have added a few more titles but that is almost certainly limited to new titles that are receiving frequent updates from the developers I imagine rather than the ancient games I'm usually installing. :)

So I'd almost never be in a situation where I've told it to install multiple games rather than download them. I thought if you tried to do that it told you "Already installing a game, wait until it is installed to install another one" though no?

How is internet connection in Madagascar?

Better than Guam, which is why I moved. :D

My internet is considered very good in my country but still miles away from what they have in US or Europe.

Sometimes I wonder how fast internet connection speed Bill Gates has

just because it works for you doesnt mean somebody else doesnt have issues with it
instead of defending galaxy just try to help the OP with his issues

he can download his ( or her) games via a browser
the deprecating gog downloader
an alternative gog client
or galaxy when and if it ever leaves beta

Didn't say they didn't. Re-read what I actually said please. He likes to bash Galaxy even when he admits he won't use it because he is biased against clients, so he has no clue how well it works or does not work. OP on the other hand has already stated he or she is using the GOG downloader therefor OP issues are solved.
Not following. If you tell Galaxy to install game A and game B. Galaxy will download/install Game A first and queue Game B for when A is done. If A needs something like direct X installed then game A will hold until a live user can click next to install it, meaning game B will not download and install during that time. I'm saying it's possible if nobody was there something could have happened causing Galaxy to time out. Not sure, I have not left Galaxy in that kind of state for more than a few min.

1.1.13 has made this process better though based on the patch notes. Galaxy should not ask you to install something you have already installed once before in a previous installation.

Ok, I don't think I've actually done that with Galaxy then, at least not under normal usage conditions. I thought it told you "no" if you tried to live install multiple games at once, perhaps it was Steam that did that and I got things mixed up. Yeah, a dependency cock block would be pretty annoying if installing multiple games live like this, but it sounds like GOG is trying to improve that by having multiple games share a dependency, and only install it if it isn't already installed. We'll see how well that works in practice over time though I guess. Hope it is something that is entirely client side because any features they add that require per game repackaging more or less don't exist since the majority of the game packages will likely never get updated at this point as it is too much effort to do, and we're 2 years in now and large numbers of games have never been updated with Galaxy metadata yet. Wish that was something they could just automate completely and let a system burn the midnight oil all night to churn out new installers for. :)
