Dark0ne Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 The way the file servers handle downloads is relatively unique. You need to have a constant connection to your internet as the browser is literally being fed the file via PHP, rather than directly via HTTP. The reason is security; it stops file leechers. The downside is that it prevents download managers and the automatic resume features of most browsers so that you can't carry on downloading when you've dropped your connection. A lot of ISPs will automatically switch your IP around as you're browsing or drop you for a split second to put you on a different connection. Normally the switch is so fast you don't notice it and most sites and games will not be bothered by it. Sadly Nexus sites are. Sometimes the servers can also "hiccup" as well. There are four file servers so you should try downloading from all of them. If all of them have the same problem then the problem lies in your computer or ISP not liking the way the file servers are serving their files. It's my fault as much as your ISPs for the way I've decided to code the system but it's not something I'm going to change; security is very important as it keeps my expenses in check.

GrandsonOfSam Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Thank you for the info Dark0ne, there was some new info I didn't know about in it too :) I suspected the download managers already, as they really are bandwidth hogs sometimes :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
