Ok, so it's now downloading the games. I have one question though, if I had already downloaded the default language, will the english versions override the already downloaded games or just get added (or skipped if multilanguage)?

This is not correct. Gogrepoc attempts to detect your OS / Language automatically if one isn't specified and uses that.


This depends on if you're specifying a language for the update command or for something that uses the manifest.

For the update command only the specified languages will be kept in the manifest for updated items, so any other commands will see other language stuff as invalid.

For other commands, the barebones state ( which is usually overriden by the autodetect ) is everything in the manifest, with the specified language / os acting as filters, so they won't remove previous stuff (unless that's the purpose, eg verify and clean will remove stuff because that's what they do .

The command is the same I always used:
gogrepoc.py download -skipfiles *.sh *_flac.zip *_wav.zip *_AAC.zip *_wma.zip patch_*.* setup_the_witcher_3_wild_hunt_goty_*(1)*.* *32bit*.* *.pkg

(Witcher 3 for some reason downloaded twice, that's why I added it to -skipfiles)

I updated the gogrepoc.py to the dev branch and it worked fine when I tried downloading again.

No idea if the problem was on the GOG or script's side, though.

There's not enough information to be 100% sure but that should be a Server/Network error, it means the connection was closed with data outstanding and without any of the normal protocol indications that the connection will be closed.

I tested one of the english games and it does have the other languages too, so it seems that everything worked fine. Thank you so much for both the support and the software!

Dumb question: What was the advantage of using -md5xmls?

I pulled my copy of gogrepoc.py from github today (2025.06.13). I was seeing the following error when trying to login

> python ../gogrepoc.py login

~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^
KeyError: 'totp_url'

I was able to patch the code as follows:

diff gogrepoc/gogrepoc-2025.06.13/gogrepoc-main/gogrepoc.py gogrepoc.py
1850c1850,1855
< if token_data['totp_url'] is not None:

> #if token_data['totp_url'] is not None:
> if totp_url is not None:
> # Proceed with TOTP-related logic
> print(f"TOTP URL: {totp_url}")

I hope this helps anyone who runs into the same issue.

Good catch, I would suggest for simplicity/brevity:

if 'totp_url' in token_data:
...



Edit:

One more request, could you fix the storage directory argument, GAME_STORAGE_DIR is never used and every time I download a new version of this, I always have to spend 5 mins finding and editing it.

Thanks in advance.

Short answer:
If you need to ask, then you don't need this, gogrepoc automatically downloads the most recent version from the server whenever it needs it internally.

Longer answer:
These are the MD5 checksums for individual sequences of bits inside the corresponding file, it's only enough data to detect an error, the correction method is to redownload that chunk, but you have to be online and connected to the GOG server to do that, so you can just download the MD5 chunk data first ( you pretty much have too in fact, because there's no guarantee the stored data is still good or the file to download hasn't been replaced with a newer version you need to download instead ).

Do you have an Authenticator setup ? Asking because I've got a GitHub report on a very similar issue but they said they did have an Authenticator but as far as I can tell this error should only occur for people without an Authenticator setup,

I've uploaded a potential fix to the Dev branch let me know if it solves the issue.

So in theory my downloads get faster (because smaller) but my update takes longer?

I ask because I needed about an hour for the step - Cleaning up !md5_xmls - in the last update.
Library is rather large.

No, if you don't use them yourself there's no use to keeping the MD5 xml files, and they will slow things down a bit. They are provided as a service for people who have some way to use them (you could use them to detect what specific part of a downloaded file is corrupted or to work out how much of a partially downloaded file remains to download, if you had the programming knowledge ). Gogrepoc always fetches a new version of these files from the server directly if they are needed, because they are never needed in a context when that isn't possible and making sure the metadata matches that on the server is super important for this.

ETA - gogrepoc always keeps the overall MD5 of each full file stored in the manifest, where that is available, so it can detect corruption on the file level, theoretically there's a risk of this going wrong at a level where the chunk verification doesn't, but because gogrepoc also checks the file sizes the chances of this happening are at the level where you're more likely to get hit by a meteor while getting struck by lightning while the meteor is also getting struck by lightning.

Thanks a lot Kalanyr for the explanation. I assume than that I better turn it off since the use case iseems to be using it with rsync or something similar. I got the background as a systems administrator but I´m definitely not a coder. Scripting and some debugging of code is the top of my proficiency. Will you by chance updete the readme for the options at github?
And I want to add a general thank you to you. Your code is a big help to me for years now.
