kohlrak: 'cause i want english and linux, s well ass english, japnese, and russian versions. Next i do "download" with the same params (which are redundant, but i'm paranoid). Then you do "verify" to make sure evrerything is in line. You can ignore the 404 errors with update: those are usually just galaxy versions which got removed, but gog keeps the links, anyway, so gogrepo ends up coonfused. "Make clean" looks for files that are no longer registered, which is great if you know you're ready to get rid of old installers that aren't considered the most up to date versions, or to get rid of stray files that gogrepo doesn't manage.

MartiusR: Thanks! Oh, that's a big relief, thought thatI will need to manually download quite a lot of games later.

Ok, I'm almost ready, made proper "manifest" with parameters I wanted, but now there is one thing I'm unsure:

1.How can I "split" download? I think that it would be wiser to make download in parts, since I've got more than 1000 titles in library.
I agree, but therre's alot of things ithink would be wiser overall than some of the things it does (even talked to Kalanyr about one that causes a few different problems, but he's a bit set in his ways). The good news is, once you download all 1000 games, it'll only ever download the updates (which is kinda the point of the manifeset). If you feel the need to not do all that at once, in theory if you cancel it i'll just resume where it left off.

So basically I can close cmd during proceeding of "download" for gogrepo.py, and later re-launch it (with the same paramenters) and it will continue from the place where it stopped?

Yes, but only for the download option. I recommend keeping it going, anyway, unless it's messing with your netflix or something (probably won't). It doesn't seem to mess too much with your CPU speed, so it behaves pretty well in the background (although i have my computer that i dedicated as a server for web, email, etc do it). The verify option might cause you issues, and can take a long time to finish, and this seems to be the biggest problem with gogrepo, especially if you're like me and have been using an external drive for this. If Kalanyr wasn't so busy, I do have some suggestions for him that would mitigate this issue. I would do it myself, but python isn't my thing, and i don't want to jut hijack the project from him. Having an external drive is really important, but he doesn't seem to understand how to handle it, despite how much he thinks he does. But that's a topic for another time. Just cancel the download as you see fit if you need to, but i wouldn't recommend it. The verify is the part that's going to kill you.

Thanks a lot for everybody who tried to help in this thread. Sorry that I can give only one "green star", but that's the technical limit and can't give more.

But I appreciate all help I've received - thank you!
