Using the following to eliminate other language downloads

--exclude bl,dl,l

in Witcher 3 GOTY the following keep coming

bonus_pack_french.zip
bonus_pack_german.zip
etc.

patch_witcher3_fr_goty....
patch_witcher3_de_goty......

How do we stop all languages except for default (i.e. English)

Those files are listed as extras in API response and thus can't be excluded with language pack exclusion option.
Additionally extras don't have language value set in API responses so lgogdownloader assumes all extras are English language and thus you can't filter them based on language.

The only way to filter them is using blacklist.
Something like this however because that is quite generic it might blacklist some normal extras that you might want from a different game.
Making it more game specific is probably a better idea

Thank you. I will give it a try!

I am just looking for a batch installer with a simple GUI for Windows, does that even exist?

Because Galaxy isn't it. It doesn't batch download games and it doesn't even check to see if your current version of the installer in the folder is updated or not, it just downloads it all over again and overwrites it. And with 300+ games, downloading them all individually will suck, let alone checking for if they get updated.

I came across GoGCLI and a GUI for that which mostly works and while it only downloads 15-20 games at a time which would be enough, I noticed with Fallout 4 that it wouldn't detect one of the main install files no matter how many times I refreshed so I would be gambling if I got the installer or not without manually auditing each installer afterward. Never checked to see if could could detect an update or not yet.

Is there any batch downloader that fits what I am looking for?

I don’t think a thread about a CLI downloader for Linux is the best place to ask about a GUI downloader for Windows ;)

I know it isn't an appropriate place to put it but it seemed like the best place since it does the function I am wanting and is active while looking for others ends up just going back to this or 1 other command line app in python or the one I found which doesn't do a full batch but does a few at a time but misses files.

So, seemed like the best place to put it.

Can you please release a new tag? A bunch of useful features accumulated that I now need to patch Debian build manually with :)

Thanks!

At this point, I went ahead and just started a virtual machine with Linux and setup a system share to the external drive and going to go that route.

Couldn't figure out how to get it to work directly from the github but got it from
https://ubuntu.pkgs.org

Which appears to work, no clue how to update it though unless maybe I have to remember those CLI commands every time I want to update.

My only real request in a future update (Other than a GUI for people like me who suck at CLI) would be the ability to have their directories named after their title names and not their slug names.

Bonus, I have been wanting to learn Linux some, so learning Ubuntu some. Can't really put it on my PC directly as I have kids who want to use my PC to play Fortnite sometimes or ask me to play with them (Really they just want to slaughter me at it).

Test run went fine, but waiting to go for the full one when can watch it better and know 100% sure I have the settings correct before I pull over a TB from the GoG servers like that.
