Problem Details
# Please explain the problem you're experiencing in as much detail as possible: I keep getting server not found error whenever i attempt to download any mod for skyrim or fallout 4. I cant even update my NMM, and I can't download the test download; both say that the server cannot be found. Had this problem back in July too and was fixed after I reported it but then it returned some weeks after

Test download
# We have setup a test download from our CDN. This is a completely random, unusable file that is 500MB in size. Please download this file (linked below) and report back whether you experience the same issue downloading this file as you do using the downloads on the site normally.

 

Can't download the test download because it returns a server not found error

It sounds like you have a DNS resolution problem. If you can't resolve an IP address for filedelivery.nexusmods.com are you still able to resolve ips for other domain names ?

 

Do you have a restrictive ISP that could be blocking DNS resolution - have you tried using a VPN or changing your DNS servers to openDNS or google DNS ?

@MrMason

 

I can access other domain names. I dont know how to switch DNS servers, and I havent tried using a VPN.

 

EDIT: i googled how to switch DNS servers and now it works. Thanks
