RodStrong: I dual boot, using Linux Mint as my daily driver, the only thing I boot into Windows 10 for is to game. The only thing I find aggravating about this is when I have to download games that are many GBs in size with no way to resume after rebooting. This isn't a problem with Steam, I can download for a few hours, pause it, boot into Linux Mint or shut down, boot back into Windows 10 the next day and pick right back up where it left off before. Is this possible with either GOG Downloader or GOG Galaxy? To download a few GBs, shut down, boot back up the next day and resume were the download has left off?

GR00T: Not sure about Galaxy, but with the DLer, I'm pretty sure you can pause it, shut down, then pick up later (I use the DLer, but can't recall for certain if it will resume from pause after shutdown).

Pajama: Yes, the DLer does resume from pause after a shutdown. Smashing little program :)

agogfan: I exclusively use the GOG Downloader as well and I'm also not 100% sure if remembers the list of what it was previously busy downloading after a full system reboot O.o

If I need to shutdown my operating system before I've completed a download, I just pause it in the GOG Downloader and then just hibernate my system as it.

However, if you ever suffer a reboot for some reason before your downloads have completed, and when you start GOG Downloader you don't see them listed anymore, you just need to add them back again by visiting their download links again on the GOG website and the GOG Downloader will then resume from where it left off. You will get a heart attack at first as it will look like the game is downloading from scratch as you'll be watching the blue bar start its progress across the screen all over again... but after a little while you'll realise that its moving along rather quickly as the GOG Downloader is really just doing a quick verify of what it has already downloaded, and at some point it will then resume the download more or less again from where it last ended.

ksb5: Going to the game on GOG galaxy and downloading it "again" worked but showed progress where it left off.
This helped

dnovraD: Nice going, Rod Sterling. You pulled a thread from the depths of the past from an unrelated program we all miss dearly. This thread's so old that it dates back to the first iteration of Galaxy.
