CarzonShadowscale Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Hey, yesterday all of a sudden, Vortex just began dropping my downloads. I can hit the download button on Nexus, it will start downloading and after a few seconds it slows down to a grinding halt. I can restart it and it will pick back up, only for a few seconds then stop once again.I pay for premium, so I have already tried changing my server locations with same results sadly. I've also logged out of Vortex, and Nexus mods, then relogged in to see if that would fix anything with no luck.I can download things from steam and chrome regularly without any problems. I'm also finding now that I can't even do manual downloads, so maybe Nexus is just having server issues? Is anyone else having this problem right now or is it just me?

Guest deleted34304850 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 you're probably best to take this to the general feedback forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarzonShadowscale Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 I do appreciate the reply, but I put this here because it is a Vortex issue, so I thought the Vortex Support was the best place to open a discussion about it. I can now manually download from Nexus Mods without any problems, but Vortex's downloads keep stopping after a few seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deleted34304850 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 its not a vortex issue. vortex is a mod manager. if the connection from your machine to a download server hits a problem, thats nothing to do with vortex.you may get an answer here, you'd get a better one in the general feedback forum though. good luck.

If I don't figure it out/get an answer tonight, I'll head over to the general feedback forum. I appreciate your input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've spoken with a friend who uses Vortex and he's not having any problems as well. I actually had downloaded the Hamachi VPN yesterday for Skyrim Together, and conveniently after that was when I began having the download issues, so I'm beginning to wonder if there's a connection there. I uninstalled the vpn, I'm still having problems. But Vortex is starting to download again, what it does is they stop, then pick back up, stop again, and pick back up. It's really strange, but at least I can still manually download mods right now. Thank you for your input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarzonShadowscale Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 I went ahead and moved this over to the general feedback forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannin42 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 The vortex.log file in %APPDATA%\vortex might contain information on why Vortex paused a download but if it's really just the download speed going up and down (even to 0) I don't see how that would be a Vortex problem. In that case I would play around with the "Preferred Download Location" you can find on nexusmods.com -> Site Preferences -> Premium membership preferences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarzonShadowscale Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 Okay, I'll take a look at the logs to see if that gives any information. I did a full report on the general forums about this, following the reporting download issues requirments as required, and as I was doing the large file download tests, I can't download larger files without it coming up saying "server issues" on my computer's end. So I put up the full report to see if anyone can find what's going on. As you said, it's more than likely not Vortex which is why I went ahead and moved it to the general forums last night. But I appreciate your suggestions and I'll look into it. So far playing around with the sever locations hasn't produced any different results.
