Not impressed at all.

So for quite some time I have my internet over mobile broadband instead of landline. This means that the connection isn't always the most reliable and disruptions can occur. That's not much of an issue and I have gotten used to it.

Now I got myself new laptop and decided to try out galaxy on it. I used to download all my games as "backup copies" (a.k.a DRM free). Since sometimes the download gets disrupted I thought that download manager like Galaxy could handle it better and I could save myself from restarting the downloads manually. Oh how wrong I was. Galaxy doesn't detect disruptions at all and results in unknown error. This means that instead of up to 4 GB loss, I face 25+ GB data loss and have to re-download everything again. Since my speed is only 1.1 - 1.2 MBps this means hours of waiting while not doing anything else with my internet connection.

I don't understand. If Galaxy can't even handle downloads then what's the point of it at all? What's the point of Galaxy if instead of convenience it's more of a hustle than it's worth. I'm not into achievements, or cloud saves.

All you Galaxy users, could you help me out here a bit? Maybe I'm missing something. Cheers.

Normally I don't use Galaxy and just download with a web browser, but out of curiosity I started an offline installer download, waited until it hit 10% complete, then unplugged my modem. I then got a message about being offline, and the download paused. After restarting the modem, clicking "connect now" several times didn't work, since the error message would disappear briefly and then reappear. So I quit Galaxy and loaded it again, and it resumed downloading where it left off.

Conclusion: lacks polish (won't automatically resume after reconnecting), but does basically work (can resume interrupted downloads).
