Oubliette Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) Jumping in to say I've not been able to get onto any site connected to the Nexus domain barring the forums. I've had this issue on three different computers over the last week, which leads me to believe that it is likely a problem on your end. I pinged oblivion.nexusmods.com because why not; please find my results below: ping oblivion.nexusmods.com Ping request could not find host oblivion.nexusmods.com. Please check the name and try again.It's not imperative that I have access or anything, but this is a little odd, to say the least. Hey Missanithorpe, not been on the sites in a while? The URL has changed to: http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/? Which is loading fine for me btw. Edited June 29, 2015 by Oubliette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 We're continuing to look at the download situation but must admit, it's extremely difficult as it's only affecting a very small number of people. Download stats from the weekend show normal traffic going through our downloads both via the stats you can see on the site (1.22m downloads on Sunday, which is only counted if the download servers report a completed download, i.e. it doesn't add 1 to the counter if your download doesn't start) and via the CDN itself (9.5GBit average usage rate on Sunday). I believe you are having issues, but none of us who work on this stuff are and neither are the vast majority of site users, which would suggest to me that there's some issue between your ISP's connection and our ISP's connection. Now, we changed our DNS over to CloudFlare's last week as a part of attempts at DDoS mitigation, so there have been DNS changes recently. We think, then, that you guys might just be on extremely bad/slow to update ISP connections OR your ISP caches their DNS for an extremely long time. Essentially, it's like we've changed our address and updated the registry/records but your ISP hasn't updated theirs. That's the only thing we can think of it could be right now, because if it was purely us, everyone would be having this issue. If you are willing to get your hands dirty a little you can see if changing to using Google's DNS (which I'd recommend whether you're having issues or not, personally) fixes this issue for you. There's a simple how-to here. If you do that, please leave it an hour or so then try the downloads again and see if it fixes it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tydus1234 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Adding to the Montreal Area problem...for me, I began having trouble with downloads around the same time as the forums issues began. First started as lag before the downloads would start. Some of the downloads would time-out but if I tried them again right away they would work fine. Now it's been 3 days I haven't been able to download anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
