timppu: Update worked, clean worked... but download fails to "preallocation failed" problems.
The target device (an external USB hard drive) has plenty of free space (750GB) so it shouldn't be about that.
Am I supposed to have the target path on the same partition where I run gogrepo? I run gogrepo on my local C: partition (which doesn't have much of free space, 11GB), but the target where to download the games is on an external USB hard drive (I:).

timppu: etc. etc.
Sorry incoming question stream (I suspected this may happen as the preallocation commands are OS level rather than native python). and there's potentially some issues with the changes between strings in Python 2 /3 as well. The target device (an external USB hard drive) has plenty of free space (750GB) so it shouldn't be about that.

What python version are you on ? What OS and version are you on ? And what File System is the disk.
I suspect the difficulty is that you're Windows versoin is expecting a path prepending with \\?\ but that breaks recent Windows 10 versions with MAX_PATH_LIMIT off.
The path at least seems correct , so it's probably not an issue with the script location. Unfortunately this is obviously very difficult to test without an appropraite OS, I'll set up a virtual machine in the next week and see what happens.
In the mean time preallocation failing shouldn't be any worse than it was before preallocation was added.
