add this to login() function before curl_easy_perform
curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1L);
it now prints info durring the login so you should be able to see if it fails somewhere

also create a directory .gogdownloader in home (mkdir ~/.gogdownloader)
then edit the source code, change line 270 to this
settings.cookie=strcat(getenv("HOME"),"/.gogdownloader/cookies.txt");
and recompile it
this way it works without you needing to specify the cookie path everytime


I wrote the code

Definitely an issue here. When I tried to get Avira to ignore it, it wouldn't. And it was like the Downloader was trying to connect to Canada, and after I disabled Avira, it quite happily moved on to connecting to the US which worked fine. Odd.

Is there any changelog avaible?

OK, just bought the Witcher and seeing as it's so large decided to try the new downloader. It installed (v1372) but refuses to accept my login and password, simply bringing up the login screen no matter what I submit. I tried changing my password (the website itself seems to be accepting my info with no problems) but this made no difference to the downloader. Any thoughts?

Note: I posted this in both downloader threads as I'm not sure which will generate a quicker response.

same problem here, i can't login in the downloader.

same issue here.

same here

Likewise, I was able to log-in once, since then it rejects email and password each time.
Can login on GOG.com no worries.

looks like I'm not alone. I can't login to the downloader also.

Same here, can't use the GoG downloader :(

Seems like it got overwhelmed...

Same thing happened to me, tried to dl the witcher... but seem to be unable to log in, i may already have the game but i just wanted to try the downloader out

yes i believe its because of witcher.. im also having a problem connecting with gog beta downloader

Same problem here. I can login to gog.com but not with the downloader. I tried 0.9.0.1372 and 0.9.0.1224. No login possible.

The downloader was working fine early today, but now I can't log in either.

I also can't login to the downloader.
