Just wanted to ask the team at GOG whether it would be possible to add multiple simultaneous connections support to the GOG downloader sometime in the future?
I ask this because in NZ, international bandwidth is expensive, so at peak times/during weekends my ISP often limits any single TCP/UDP connection to about 30-40KB/s. Needless to say, downloading large games is very painful at this speed...
The only way around this is to use a download manager supporting 4+ simultaneous connections so I can get a half decent speed...
*goes back to watching my download of Pro Pinball: Timeshock - only 4-5 hours to go!!*

sherman: Yeah, other download managers do work - but the GOG servers do not allow multiple connections, so there's no real benefit to using them. :(

Thanks for the suggestion (and explanation) and we'll look into the multiple connections at the next overhaul of the downloader.
