On clicking mod update button: "failed to download update file, please download it manually"

Trying to update mods within Vortex using the small cloud icon next to the version number produces this error:

 

"failed to download update file, please download it manually"

 

I can remove a mod, go to its web page, click on the download: Vortex button in nexusmods, and everything works fine. This means rebuilding dependencies, so it's not ideal.

 

Updating within Vortex used to work.

I just updated Vortex and it started to do the same thing the OP said. Not sure if it has something to do with the update or it's just a site issue.

Using Vortex 0.17.7, I just updated a mod and had no problems doing so.
