gogarchiver-ng

A Java rewrite of gogarchiver, the GOG.com archival tool written in bash, with many improvements:

• a better, more flexible CLI
• parallel download support
• DLC support
• account library retrieval
• a much improved interface

Building

Prerequisites:

• JDK (>= 17)
• Maven (>= 3.2.5)

Run the following:

$ mvn clean package

The output runnable JAR will be written to target/gogarchiver-ng.jar. There will be another JAR with the version number in that directory - ignore it.

Finding the authorization token

1. Open firefox
2. Log into GOG.COM
3. Open developer tools (Ctrl + Shift + Alt)
4. Navigate to the Storage tab
5. Select Cookies, and then https://www.gog.com/ on the left sidebar
6. Locate the gog-al cookie, and copy its value

The cookie can be passed to gogarchiver-ng directly (via -k) or through a file for better security (via -K).

Available on:

• https://git.zajc.eu.org/gogarchiver-ng.git/
