The patches are stored in "WalkingDead101PatchFs" and the individual episodes folders.
I suggest you try what i suggested, because it's always better to let the game do the updating.
The patches could be downloaded manually, but that should be a last resort.
That's fair enough.
But now when I try to re-download from the Telltale store (from the My Games), the file/link is unavailable. The file it is trying to download is:
"http://cdn.telltalegames.com/games/walkingdead/100/WalkingDead100_v3_Setup.exe";
So it seems now I can't even download the setup file to attempt a fresh install
Just to test, I started a download of one of my other purchased games, and it started with no problems.
This is all done on the same computer that I am using to post this message, so my internet is working just fine.

I can download the file.
To me it looks like you are having problems connecting to some of TTGs servers.
That would explain why neither the game nor the browser can download.
I would start with rebooting all your network hardware. If that doesn't help, we can try to find out more.
EDIT:
Just saw your edit. Most of the older games are downloading from other servers.
Phew, after alot rebooting, resetting and re-installing I finally got it working. I probably spent just as much time getting the DLC up and running than I did playing through it! Atleast it was worth it.
I sure hope that Season 2 wont rely so much on your existing game installation when it gets released.
Thanks for your help DjNDB!

It might just be downloading updates, which it does silently.
If it doesn't continue after a few minutes, please follow the instructions to run the Support Tool and attach the resulting "support_data_mac.zip" to your next reply in this thread.
Thanks, I know about that. The server has been on maintenance all day, and is supposed to be up again soon.
Meanwhile you can get the downloaders here.

This workaround only downloads Episode 2-5. You need to download the first episode from the "My Games" section of this site to run it.
The Walking Dead is not officially compatible with OS X 10.9 yet though, but TTG is working on it.
You might be able to get it to run by self signing the App.
Bought episode 1-5 and 400 days at the same time through telltale games (i have a macbook pro, currently running OS X). Was unable to "get" episodes in-game. I then stumbled upon this thread, and did the workaround for episode 2-5 - and it worked perfectly. So I was wondering if the same workaround is possible for 400 days?
If so, I guess I would create a "WalkingDead106" folder, but where to download the files to put inside? I don't see them in the intial thread post as i see ep. 2-5. How come?
Btw. I did try to "get" 400 days in-game, but it freezed at 99% as did all the other episodes.
...Anyhow, thanks a lot for at least making episode 2-5 playable.
I have added the links. The manual download has the risk of adding corrupt files to the game, because the files are not checked for errors then.
It's much better and easier to get them with the python downloader from the "Automatic Download" section. No more need to manually copy and move files and it includes an integrity check, just like the game does it.
I have managed to do everything but when trying to copy the folders to ~/Library/Application Support/Telltale Games/TheWalkingDead/SyncFs/Data/ I am not able to find the TellTale Games in the application support folder! How do I find it?
You can navigate to the savegame folder by starting Finder, and selecting "Go/Go to Folder..." from the menu or pressing CMD-SHIFT-G, and pasting the path below into it.

Hey! managed to make it work. I copied the .json files to the Meta folder and everything showed up installed and working (for now I guess). Does it make sense?
If you want me to, I can send the .json text, it includes all links for WalkingDead2_patch.json, WalkingDead202.json, as well as WalkingDead203.json. I'm currently trying to download Episode 4 before release this way :P.

Couldn't you technically get the 400 days dlc for free by using the manual download links here? I bought it already, just a thought.
Is there going to be a way to manually download the episodes for Season 2?
