So, has anyone had any issues with logging back in?:confused:
The frontpage kicks me back to the the intro page for me.

Did you keep your cookies? Otherwise, the front and beta pages will bump you back to the teaser page. If your access key is still valid, use that; otherwise, you'll probably have to contact their support staff. As you can tell, this happened to me; not exactly my finest hour.

Just a heads-up for those waiting for this: GOG now supports PayPal.

Neat.

Nice, I may actually get it now.

For those who are interested, the most recent news post unveils plans for a
completely optional downloader for the service. I guess this is mostly to address all the comments about how people wished GOG.com had its own background app like Steam. :rolleyes:

Quote Posted by Destro, GOG.com Team]As some really big games are just around the corner, in the next few weeks we'll be releasing a nice handy little tool: the GOG.com Downloader (beta ;). Just before the weekend we wanted to give you a small sneak-peek, so you'll know what to expect:
* First and foremost, the Downloader app (application) will be totally optional. Downloading games via browser will remain the default download method.
* It's NOT an installer, it's NOT a launcher and it's definitely NOT a background service or some other annoying malware :). Our app serves only as an alternative download method for bigger games or people having problems with their transfers.
* The app will be seamlessly integrated with your GOG.com user account. So when the Downloader is released, you will see a new option on your My Account page that lets you add a game to your downloader queue. The queue will then be automatically pushed to the Downloader app and transfers will begin automatically.
* So many people asked for this, and yes, it lets you pause and resume transfers. You can also rearrange the queue by a simple drag & drop.
* It's built using the new Adobe AIR technology (yes, it requires Adobe AIR but the added bonus is platform independence: Downoader works on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux)
* Our goal was to make it simple and pleasant to use. I believe our design team really nailed it. Check out the attached image for a small teaser.
So stay tuned and expect a release soon. In the meantime, post your thoughts and ideas.

It's because so many people wished there was a way to reliably download and/or resume downloads of the rather massive files that GOG offers.
