Failing to download Vortex (supporter-files.nexus-cdn.com took too long to respond)

I'm trying to download the mod manager Vortex from the site: https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/1?tab=files&file_id=2152 but when I click the download link all it get is a lull in the page and then a new page pops up saying:

This site can’t be reached

files.nexus-cdn.com took too long to respond.

 

I've tried:

  • Using a different browser
  • Using incognito mode
  • Disabling antivirus
  • Allowing the site as an exception on the antivirus
  • Disabling firewall
  • Disabling Google Chrome extensions

 

I've downloaded other mods from the site and just tested downloading one and it worked. Is it because i'm downloading an exe file?

Beyond frustrating. Absolutely insane. Been going through the Troubleshooting options at https://help.nexusmods.com/article/113-troubleshooting-website-issues and nothing works.

 

Country: Canada

ISP: Primus

 

The download simply isnt starting..

Trying all morning, it doesn't work.

 

It says "Your download has started", but nothing happens. Even when I repeatedly on the link If you are having trouble, click here to download manually nothing happens. No download pop up, nothing. It then cuts to:

This site can’t be reached

supporter-files.nexus-cdn.com took too long to respond.

ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

 

I've never had this happen before and nothing seems to be working.

Hm, I wonder if my being Premium means I'm getting a different server?

 

Maybe go around it with the GitHub version?

 

https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Vortex/releases/download/v1.8.5/vortex-setup-1.8.5.exe

SWEET JESUS THANK YOU.

 

Clicked on it and immediately it worked and started downloading. I'm not sure why nexusmods was crapping the bed, but i'm glad there was a backup option. Thanks a ton.

It's not just vortex that i have a problem with too, a lot of mods on nexus seems to be only available to premium users, as a free user i get that message on a lot of mods.

Yeah I can download some mod without trouble, but I got that message for some mod
