UrsaCorvalis: Each manifest would have to hold a fixed number of entries say 500 games as a start. Then as soon as game 501 is purchased and the manifest is updated that game goes into a separate file.

phaolo: I'm not sure this idea can work well, because the size of games in that range could vary wildly from a few GB to a few TB.
True, but it's a start. And it would be trivial to make the number of games a variable that a script edit can change.

UrsaCorvalis: Another option might be to have a manifest directory, rather than manifest file.

phaolo: The manifest split into each game folder doesn't sound bad, but you probably need the external file for things like detecting orphaned files.
Not located in a game's folder. Make the manifest an actual separate directory. so something like this:

==>/gogrepo/
====>/logdir/
====>/manifestdir/
====>/gogrepo.py

Then the "manifestdir" would be full of textfiles (1 for each game) and maybe a "control file" (gogrepo.data.txt) or something like that.

As a headsup the GOG servers are overloaded right now, you should definitely not run GOGrepo at the moment.

ETA - Seems fixed now.

It's wonky but working. Throwing some 500s, but working on retries for me.
