Nexus Mods wont allow large file downloads

[jwhite1054]

It looks like I have this solved but I made the topic that to help others. Ive been trying to download the Community Asset bundle for over an hour. Im using Chrome. Once it gets to 1 gig, it stops. Tried 4 times on 3 different servers. Then I decided to get a download manager and try that. It stopped after 1 gig again, but eventually resumed until .... 2 gig then stopped dead. Wouldnt restart at all. So I did the unthinkable. I used Microsoft Edge.

 

And guess what?

 

Full download with no issues. Have no idea what caused it, but hopefully this will help others

Might not this issue be specific to your computer setup and/or the result of some browser setting?

 

I ask because I've never had a problem with large file downloads from Nexus Mods. I use Firefox exclusively.

Hoping not to have to try edge, but I'm on my 4th attempt trying to download the Battletech CAB today, so it's getting to a very frustrating stage.

It downloaded fine for me last week, but todays update don't wanna work.

Edit: switching to edge did finally work. Download appeared to hang the the point if failed on FF, but I was able to pause, then restart it and it finished successfully.

I'm having the same problem with the exact same file. Gets to about a gig, and then drops off. With Edge after it stopped I was able to pause and resume unlike with Chrome, but then shortly after it was like 'ok you've got the whole file!' and it was only 1.3 gb out of 2.6, and couldn't resume again.

It might be a matter of luck so I'm trying it yet again. Getting pretty frustrated though, I've been doing this for hours now.

There was an issue with our download server that should have been fixed now. Can you please try again?

It's still failing at around 1.1gb. I just tried downloading Commonwealth Conifers - Seasons for FO4, and it fails. The message board for that mod has multiple recent postings of failures as of now.
