Kalanyr: I just checked and I have a proper entry for Alone in the Dark 2 , and the file was downloaded successfully , however it hasn't been updated in ages ( 2019 )/. I recently did a full update too so it should have cleared the entry if it was a proper entry.
I am actually seeing it in the manifest:

… there are multiple entries for the installer in quite a few languages, but none of them gets actually downloaded.
Kalanyr: Have you tried force updating the manifest using -ids alone_in_the_dark_2 ? It's possible there was a communication error at the time and the entry is simply not in your manifest as a result.
No, not exactly like this, I've written a script performing the following actions:
1) Backup of logs and some other things.
2) Update the manifest.
3) Verify files (so that everything already there should be verified when actually downloading).
4) Download chanǵed/new files.
5) Remove leftovers from backups and such (nothing from download folders themselves).
I can sort out the actual command lines (being built from variables) if that helps.
Kalanyr: ETA - Moving the old file away and then back can cause the result of verifications and last downloaded to desychronize but that should only be a real problem in very rare cases where GOG updates the file without changing the name and the file size doesn't change either ( weird things like the Baldur's Gate III Mac GameData files are the only things particularly likely to have this problem and that's probably finished updating for the immediate future, most of the other games with this issue also are no longer currently updating ).
So the following should be safe?:
1) Move "gog-manifest.dat" away.
2) Update the manifest with "-full".
3) Verify everything again with "-forceverify".
4) Download.
