I'm having a really frustrating problem with GOG Galaxy and Witcher 2. I've tried to install the game just like any other in my Library, but when Witcher 2 gets to 100% of its enormous 25gb download, it stops for a few seconds and then starts downloading again. The progress bar still shows 100%, but my traffic monitor shows it's downloading. If I close Galaxy and reopen it, it tells me that it's redownloading 11gb of data.

Based on that I came to discover the culprit is the pack0.dzip file in the CookedPC directory - you know, THE SINGLE LARGEST FILE IN THE GAME. I've let it finish twice now - both times it gets to the end, stops and then a few seconds later starts downloading the file all over again. When I've only got 200gb a month to utilise, having to redownload 10gb of data over and over for seemingly no reason gets a little frustrating.

Is there something I can do to force this damn thing to finish the installation and stop it from redownloading the file over and over?

If you have a bandwidth limit, then using a beta downloader is not for you. Use the GOG Downloader for downloads and use the beta for social features for now until Galaxy is working much better. Tons of folks are having issues installing and downloading with Galaxy.

I installed W2 recently on Galaxy and did not have any issues at all. So it may be worth sending this info to support, too, so they can try to get to the bottom of it.
