In response to post #43495605. #43503455 is also a reply to the same post. Thanks for the optimism but pops has been in Intensive Care for the last...well... technically a year now. When I got here to his property some of his animals had already died from starvation and the rest were in bad shape. I just didn't have the heart to tell him. He was born in Feb of 1924 and went thru the great depression and a few wars. He loves Skyrim and all the elder scrolls but Skyrim the most probably because I was able to merge all the awesome landscape features from WM Flora, Tamriel reloaded, Unique Grasses and the latest realistic ground flower mods. I do hope his most latest mod maker sticks around. I believe he's called Ren. Anyhow. It's 0530am so I have to feed the critters and get ready to head to town to get hay and chikken feed. Blessings to EVERYONE in the community who have supported the old man and kept his hopes alive for a more beautiful future for mankind.

NMM has been working fine. If the SE version of Skyrim doesn't support BSAs then there's gonna be a problems with mods like Falskaar with over 19000 files in it. Hopefully they just update the engine so SKSE and SkyUI will continue to work. I've never had much luck using Mod Manager. Too complicated for a 90 plus year old but I doubt I'll be around long enough to enjoy the newer games you younguns will get to see. As for everything I've put up I will be returning my login to my grandson with the hopes that he will continue to enjoy the game.

In response to post #7774781. I'll tell him when he gets back from the hospital. He's in for heart surgery and kidney removal (one) due to complications with his diabetes. He's a bit addled having had a few strokes so generally he only goes one link into a page. I'm actually surprised he learned how to upload files here. He hasn't done that since Morrowind. Jr.

In response to post #7725886. Well...I'm here every day all day and haven't seen any reports on trouble with the last "hack" and have continued my downloading and tests so I could say "yes" to your question. Other than that unless you see it FLAGGED by users or especially a Site MODERATOR yer safe.

In response to post #7757811. #7758068, #7761190 are all replies on the same post. Still using 44.5 and don't know if I should upgrade to 44.7 as I've seen no posts regarding the updates yet, especially why there was an immediate jump from 6 to 7. So far the only thing with 44.5 is a constant CTD after installing about 4 or 5 mods right after each other. Same thing with downloading. Immediate CTD when downloading large (at least 40mb) files. Even though they've successfully downloaded (close NMM or NOT message box. I close normally) Generally when i restart NMM and the "offensive" download shows up, I just redownload the same file and NMM doesn't crash. Dunno if the 44.7 update fixed that issue. Personally I think the NMM program itself should have its own download page with a BUG forum and a SUGGESTIONS forum attached. As we've gotten accustomed to THIS forum here I'd leave this one running as a general discussions/biaatching page. I'm sure it exists SOMEWHERE on Nexus here but...I can't find it so..on my earlier comment on NMM having it's own DL page like all the other mods I'd suggest the "main" info page contain all the info pertaining to the release (44.0, 44.3, 44.7...yadda yadda...) and on down the line and the download page contain JUST a few previous STABLE beta downloads. So.. how's THAT for some ideas? Gramps.

In response to post #7757811. I've downloaded about 60 mods (tiny ones) just to check on the hack breach and all files were successfully qued and downloaded with utterly NO Nexus Downloader.exe or any other renamed or invalid file redirects.Blessings and many thanks to the nexus team for all the hard work in fighting the hack.44.3 if I remember correctly was the really BAD bug version that stripped the readme files from the mods and then installed them rather than leaving them intact.I am using version 44.5 of NMM and saw NMM jump from 44.6 to 7 in like LESS than a 72 hour period so I personally do NOT know what changes have been made as of 44.7Many people have complained about slow response times from the Skyrim server itself. My grandkids and great ones play dragonage, oblivion and a few of the other nexus supported games and report very quick responses from those servers so my opinion is that as skyrim is so HEAVILY modded at current time that there is always going to be network congestions. Oblivion and the rest ARE pretty much retired with skyrim after allJust be patient with your downloads. Don't click from one server to another. Just use ONE server and reclick until it responds. Very rarely have I encountered any ACTUAL slow or sluggish DL speeds. Just in queing it up. Then again I AM on 56k so I can't test that theory past v96 speeds.

In response to post #7729206. I'm on 56k using Internet Download Manager. They've ALL been saying server is busy...even though they aren't. Simple way for "ME" to bypass it is to click on the download server, IDM pops up with the "server busy" on top so I click on the "Download Later" then the server is "saved" in the IDM request set. I can either immediatley highlight the file to be DLed and resume of just do my batch file que 1 at a time for me. No biggie. Servers aren't actually "busy" I think links just aren't responding quick enough on the pages. Without IDM I just kept clicking on the SAME server link till it caught up and allowed the DL to start. On 56k it took about 5 tries each time. Still no biggie. Haven't had the virus flag here for about a week now and I've been download small texture packages all day. Hope this helps everyone. Gramps

Rebooted and logged back into nexus. Just reattempted all previous file downloads with Google Chrome, Firefox and (eew) IE. As of this message... no regular servers are available for any of the previous downloads. even tried Dawnguard Rewritten Arvak and TWM Dawnguard Armory. Sigh. Even tried to get the unofficial Skyrim, DG, DB n HF patches. Error message is this: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/Error/?err=download_down&hr It's ok Dark. Whoever DID this needs to be caught and fully punished by the full extent of ANY countries law. My suggestion would be to take Nexus offline...and YES.. i know this hurts but...take nexus offline for a LONG while (I KNOW how many terrabytes of files you host cause I haven't even downloaded a smidgen of em and filled up 8tb's of hard drive space), clean the drives and reboot nexus. Have you investigated the site involved with the Tribunal Robes and masks author yet? I've seen a few more Nexus mods pop up there. I can't believe they're tryin to steal modders work and get paid for the theft. Anyhow. I'm stuck atm as I deleted my dawnguard tex's n mods so until nexus is up in gear again i get to take a vacation. LoL. Many blessings and good wishes to the whole team. Gramps.

Reattempt. Cannot dismiss followers fix. Redirect info: http://fs6.nexusmods.com/Libs/Common/Managers/Downloads?Download&nid=110&fid=1000011577 from Washington dc 2 Skip that...ALL servers

Same redirect..all servers...http://fs6.nexusmods.com/Libs/Common/Managers/Downloads?Download&nid=110&fid=1000021418 File attempting to download Riften HQ textures and Justin_s Riften Retexture HD 3_0

Attempting to download amazing follower tweaks. cant get ANY site to download. URL redirect for all of them is this "http://fs6.nexusmods.com/Libs/Common/Managers/Downloads?Download&nid=110&fid=1000021418" A few other files I tried to get had the same thing. Is the thing spreading out that fast? This thing is starting to act more and more like a worm. Gramps.

Here's my current redirect... Unable to connect due to suspicious activity. The page you were attempting to download from has redirected you to "fs1.nexusmods.com:80" and is attempting to download known malware file "nexusmods.exe." Do you wish to proceed? Y/N This is happening with ALL 20 of my downloads at the moment. All servers. INCLUDING Dallas now. Time is 9:45PM, California, Mar. 30 Gramps.

In response to post #7695626. #7696670, #7700021, #7706105 are all replies on the same post. I'm surprised. I've yet to encounter the virus from Dallas. Sorry I couldn't help.

How about NEVER DIRECTLY RUN an EXE or COM file without virus scanning it first? Run it in a sandbox if yer not sure about it. If it's a NEXUS file...99 percent of nexus files are COMPRESSED. If there's an executable IN that compressed file the author should have stated so in his/her description. Still a good idea to virus check before running it anyhow. Think about how MANY files, not just HERE.. oblivion nexus/dark one nexus..etc etc.. that the nexus team has to track and manage. Let's do our best to help the team out and just report things as they happen. Blessings to the team and everyone out there. Game on! Gramps

In response to post #7695626. Try a different server. I get that from a few of them still. Try the Dallas server. Oops. Forgot.. which site were you trying to DL from?
