I can't, my barebone Steam account doesn't have permissions to do anything.
A simple question about the status of the program doesn't mean he owes us something..

I have just invited him to be a "Friend" on Steam so that I can then send him a message. I'll let you know if he accepts my friends request. Like phaolo I would just like to know if he has any further plans to work on gogrepo or not.

It didn't work, I guess :(
Maybe he simply doesn't add strangers to his friendlist.
Idea: can you try with his friends?

Yes - no reply from him and his status shows that he was online 12 hours ago so he MAY have seen my invite. I'd rather just wait it out a bit longer, besides I'm really not comfortable stalking his friends.

Damn, I'd do it myself, if I could.
I don't classify this as "stalking" at all.
If the normal method will fail, I'll ask some other hopefully less polite user to do somehing :P
Maybe wooly just forgot about gogrepo after all these months.

It looks like woolymethodman is only on Steam occasionally and he just may not have noticed my friends request the last time he was online. I'll see if he acepts the next time he's active on Steam. If not I'll turn off my politeness switch and see if I can chat with one of his friends. I won't have it said that I'm too polite !!!!!

Haha ok! XD

Umm... I guess "mission failed".

Yep - I sent friend invites to woolymethodman and three of his friends and not one was accepted :(

Oh well, we tried ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks anyway.

I never have used gogrepo. But I would assume they both use the same game directory names, which they get from the GOG repository. You could try out lgogdownloader with some small games in a separate directory to see what it does. Something like:

lgogdownloader --game=teenagent --download

To download all of your games just use it without the --game option:

lgogdownloader --download

lgogdownloader automatically will skip already downloaded files.

Other interesting options for the start are:
--platform to select for which operating systems you want to download installers,
--language in case you also want to download installers for other languages,
--save-changelogs to save a local copy of the changelog,
--save-serials to download and save the serial numbers of games.

So as an example you could use:

lgogdownloader --download --platform=w --language=en --save-changelogs --save-serials

With --save-config you can save your configuration to a config file so that you do not have to type the options all the time. lgogdownloader also has a manual page. When it's installed on your system you can display it with "man lgogdownloader". And of course, when something does not work, you always can ask in the lgogdownloader thread.

They do, but lgogdownloader stores dlcs and extras in sub-directories under the game directory.
gogrepo.py stores all files directly in the game dir.
I haven't checked whether there are options to change either tool's behaviour in this regard.

lgogdownloader has options to set the subdirectories. So you might be able to make it behave like gogrepo, e.g. with: "--subdir-extras=."

That's a better solution.
I'd even put all bonuses in a separated folder, btw.
Lgogdownloader is Linux-only, right?

Thanks, I was just about to ask about this. Too bad the directory structure is slightly different between the two tools, I guess it means all DLCs and extras would be redownloaded if switching tools (unless one goes to move files manually to correct places, one game at a time... not going to do that with hundreds of games).

Anyways, gogrepo is still working fine for me, so I am still using it. The only thing I don't like about it is just the "update" (getting full file details from GOG to see which files need to be downloaded) takes around 7 hours for me, for 1395 games. I wish that part would work faster, but oh well, I run gogrepo like every two weeks or months anyway so I just let the update run in the background. Right now I am downloading my updated/new stuff with gogrepo as I am writing this.

About lgogdownloader, does it have an option to check your whole local library that the file integrity is ok, similar to "gogrepo.py verify"?
