Game download randomly stops

[BloodShed-Oni]

Single game download or complete library download will randomly just stop.
Restarting the script only fixes the problem until it randomly does it again.

I think this problem comes from GOG's CDN. As opposed to Steam, who has servers all around all the continents, I think GOG's servers mainly reside in EU. When it's too crowded, it put speed limit on your session or even just drop you. I can experience the same behaviour with FireFox.

Not sure if it's the same problem but I keep getting this assertion error, doesn't seem like a CDN problem...

Exception in thread Thread-3:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 801, in __bootstrap_inner
    self.run()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 754, in run
    self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs)

    assert out.tell() == end + 1
AssertionError

For as far as I can tell, the download size doesn't match what's on the metadata. Still sounds like a CDN problem.

I encountered this assertion quite often as well. I think the bigger problem is, the thread just died there and nothing did it do to retry. I suggest you make 30 threads and leave it on before you go to bed until the maintainer fix this.

Thanks. This will be fixed.. definitely shouldn't just stop. It is indeed usually indicative of CDN-side problem however.

Does anyone know of specific games that currently show this?

Seems to be random.

I've had it with The Witcher 3 and the Bioshock games.
