Thanks, like I said it's not really that big of a deal, it's just a bit puzzling. Ultimately, I'm working on a script to split the download up into more manageable chunks that also reduces the unpredictability a bit.

It's a good program, but with the amount of options that are needed, I find that running it from a script makes things a lot easier.

I tried this fix on 32 bit Ubuntu, recompiled, and it did not work. _LARGEFILE_SOURCE and _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE were already defined, but the other define did not seem to fix the bug.

Its failing to download the mark_of_the_ninja file that is a little larger than 2GB. No error printed in output. I'll try to do a little more digging...

EDIT: tested on native ext4 and also with a USB drive formatted NTFS. Both fail to download the file.

a3673a5 Use regex to find patch and language pack nodes in API response

Try current git with this patch
https://sites.google.com/site/gogdownloader/use_off_t.diff
It changes most size_t variables in the code to use off_t instead

actually your first suggestion worked fine, I just didn't #define early enough. All that is needed is to append:
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
to CFLAGS (line 15) in the Makefile. Works like a champ now.

214a843 Change --no-cover to --cover

If you have "no-cover" option in ~/.config/lgogdownloader/config.cfg you will get this error when trying to compile Remove "no-cover" from config.cfg or change it to "cover" to fix this issue

Is there a way to download only tarball and not deb packages when setting Linux as a platform? Using

--download --platform 4 --game <game>

downloads both, while I'd prefer to use tarballs only. May be they can be filtered with another option like --tarballs-only ?

Have you tried --platform=4 --no-installers without --no-patches. I don't remember how LGOGDownloader handles it, but the GOG internals store the .deb as an installer and the tarball as a patch.

Nope, --platform=4 --no-installers skips tarballs.

Looking at the code, that's a bit unexpected, since when --no-patches is absent it's supposed to download them. I might look more on it a bit later.

Tarballs in patch nodes are treated as installers and thus --no-installers skips them
https://github.com/Sude-/lgogdownloader/blob/master/src/api.cpp#L418-L430

For now you can use blacklist to skip deb packages by adding to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/lgogdownloader/blacklist.txt

Thanks, you probably meant .*\.deb$ as in the comment there. If I'll have time I can add --only-tarballs option with relevant checks in the code (or whatever you prefer to call it).

5dd8332 Add --no-deb and --no-targz command line options

New default for --check-orphans is '.*\.(zip|exe|bin|dmg|old|deb|tar\.gz|pkg)$'
.pkg is used for Mac patches

a51fb3e Use boost regex in api if gcc/g++ < 4.9.0

I didn't want boost as dependency for the API implementation in case anyone else wanted to use it and didn't want to include boost. However there are some problems when using std::regex with gcc/g++ < 4.9.0
Because of these issues the git version now uses Boost.Regex in API if gcc < 4.9.0

Should I switch to Boost.Regex completely?
Is anyone else using the API implementation from lgogdownloader?
Let me know your thoughts on the change if you're using the API implementation.

I'm having a bit of trouble with 2.16, I get the following error: Error: unrecognised option 'no-cover' . My script doesn't include that option, so, I'm guessing that must have something to do with the default setting.
