Near impossible to download.

I currently cannot use the download system at all. I have attempted using:

 

NMM

Orbit

Firefox

Chrome

Pale Moon

DownThemAll

 

Every other site I try to download from it works without issue, when I attempt to download using Nexus, no matter what application I will receive a interrupted download, and a incomplete archive. Only files less then a MB or so can be finished without a issue.

 

I really would like to know when this "new" download system will be released. It was stated it will be released "Soon"... What is soon? Soon is extremely relative. Could be a few months, A few weeks, less then a week, a day, a hour, 30 minutes...

 

Any estimate? Or suggested fix?

 

I have tested all servers. All give the same issues.

Well, you are not a "Premium" member, so at least one of your attempted methods (Down Them All) will definitely not work.

 

And given the number of other members (hundreds, daily) who are able to successfully download materials from the Nexus, I believe there is something else preventing your doing so... :whistling:

 

What firewall/AV products(s) are you using?

Obviously this is a issue where I am having a harder time then others due to my specific network situation, but this issue has been mentioned MULTIPLE times by Dark0ne.

 

"This will now *fingers crossed* mean that if you get cut-off or the server drops half way through your download you'll be able to resume it from where you left off. " -Dark0ne

 

"I’ve just sent in a request for an additional 2 US file servers to lighten the load on these, increase the download speeds and hopefully stop any of the connectivity issues that have plagued the servers in the past 5 days. The coders are busy working on tweaking everything as best they can." -Dark0ne

 

I am just interested in finding out when the new download system is being released, no specifics required rather what is meant by "soon" as it is extremely relative and I have a few mods I would just die to download right now =)

 

Days?

Weeks?

Months?

Are you running a pop-up blocker software on your computer? When you click to download a mod, another window pop's up asking where you want to get it from.

 

Are you running a Window's O/S? Perhaps try booting up your computer to "Safe Mode w/ Networking" and then try downloading again from the Nexus

Same issue here.

 

@Fainter

 

Sort of side stepping the issue here Fainter. The issue is the download servers disconnection/timeout's. The issue has been proven to exist, and being experienced by numerous users. I myself have attempted multiple networks, multiple computers, and multiple OS's. In simple words: This is not a client side issue, rather a server side. Once the new server side updates to downloads begin, this issue will become non-existent. As download timeouts are recoverable from that point.

I'm having the same sort of troubles - inability to DL anything over a few hundred KB without the transfer suddenly getting cut off. I've tried using two different computers on a home network (both with different OSes(XP & Vista), IE 8/9 with and without a DL manager. The end result is usually the same - getting cut off. Only a few times using the XP machine have I gotten a file that was between 1-4 Megs in size. And this has been going on for a good while now. Not even sure anymore when it started exactly.

 

It's gotten to the point where I've started looking for other sites to DL from. Unfortunately, Nexus has become the predominant place for Fallout 3 files and the only ones I've come across have a handful of files that are older mods.

 

I used to grab files for Oblivion without issue from Nexus but even then there would be the odd file that just refused to DL properly.

 

So it would sure be nice to hear something concrete as to a problem and, even better, a solution to this!

I tested this. Could not download largest in Castle section, over 400 MB.

Seattle gave 2.7 MB; Washington DC gave 8 MB.

Sad.

 

BTW, Rapidshare behaves the same. It changed Jan 2012 there.

Here this was first time.

 

I have downloaded a 4 GB file and many 1 GB files with this mobile phone

after Jan 2012. That means the issue must be at Rapidshare and Nexus.

What changes have been done to operating system/network server

at Nexus, if any?

 

Can you provide FTP transfer? Hide files under invisible directories.

Old reliable, that is!
