titanofdoom: Hi,

I just bought the witcher 2 on GMG and had problems installing it so was told to dowload it here and found a gem of a site :)

There is a game I have been wanting to play again for years and my question is am I able to purchase games here from the UK? All games are in dollars so just wanted to double check - may be a silly question but would rather be safe than sorry!

Thanks!
All of our games are available for sale everywhere in the world. Welcome to GOG!

EDIT: Dangit. Ninja'ed.

Fenixp: You can't, because GOG downloader sucks balls and can't download more than one thing at once. You can however drag Darkstone above TW2 to pause TW2 download and start Darkstone's.

edit: And don't forget that you can download the games via browser, which does allow more downloads at once
I would note that the browser connection is S L O W compared to our downloader.

Maybe it doesn't allow you to download multiple items at once but it is a few times faster comparing to a browser download (as it downloads in multiple threads).
You'd rather want to download multiple items at once?
The overall download time will be the same as with downloading one at a time, but you'll wait a lot longer before anything is finished, as the speed will be divided for each item that's downloading.

keeveek: Imagine this.

I download The Witcher 2 and Lord of the realm.

If I had simultanious downloads, I would be able to play LOTR after few minutes. With GOG downloader I have to pause the witcher 2 and start LOTR, and after finishing it I have to unpause TW2 again.

People do that often - downloading a smaller game while waiting for download of a huge game to complete.

Not having multiple downloads at once is not a feature, it's a bug
I'm not saying that multiple downloads is a bad thing. I'm just saying that all that it cost you is to drag Lord of the Realms at the top of the queue. The Witcher will pause, The Lord of the Realms will download in minutes and The Witcher will resume automatically afterwards. No need to un-pause manually anything ;)

keeveek: But I don't like excercise :(

especially lifting...
Maybe we'll add that option in the future for the lazy people ;) Cheers!

We have a lot of great plans for the Downloader. I can't promise anything right now but I presume everyone will be happy :) You'll just have to wait.
