LGOGDownloader - downloader for GOG.com games and other files
SYNOPSIS
lgogdownloader [OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION
An open-source GOG.com downloader for Linux users which uses the same API as the official GOGDownloader.
LGOGDownloader can download purchased games, query GOG.com to see if game files have changed, as well as
downloading extras such as artwork and manuals. It is capable of downloading language-specific installers
for games where they exist.

BLACKLIST
Allows user to specify individual files that should not be downloaded or mentioned as orphans.
Each line in the file specifies one blacklist expression, except for empty lines and lines starting with
#. First few characters specify blacklist item type and flags. So far, only regular expression (perl
variant) are supported, so each line must start with "Rp" characters. After a space comes the expression
itself. Expressions are matched against file path relative to what was specified as --directory.
Example black list
# used to store manually downloaded mods/patches/maps/, don't mention it as orphans
Rp ^[^/]*/manual/.*
# included with every *divinity game, once is enough
Rp beyond_divinity/extras/bd_ladymageknight.zip
Rp divinity_2_developers_cut/extras/divinity_2_ladymageknight.zip
# extra 6GB is A LOT of space if you don't actually plan to mod your game
Rp the_witcher_2/extras/the_witcher_2_redkit.zip
Rp the_witcher_2/extras/extras_pack_3_hu_pl_ru_tr_zh_.zip
Rp the_witcher_2/extras/extras_pack_2_fr_it_jp_.zip
PRIORITIES
Separating values with "," when using language and platform switches enables a priority-based mode: only
the first matching one will be downloaded.
For example, setting language to fr+en means both French and English will be downloaded (if available)
for all games. Setting language to fr,en means that the French version (and only that one) will be
downloaded if available, and if not, the English version will be downloaded.
You're allowed to "stack" codes in the priority string if needed. If you set language to es+fr,en it
means it'll download both Spanish (es) and French (fr) versions if they are available, and the English
(en) one only if none of French and Spanish are available.
