Ok, I understand premium members getting benefits because they've paid for it, but capping us non-premiums at 1MB/sec? It is taking me an hour to download a 119 mb file! This is honestly ridiculous and really does hit those who can't afford a premium membership (such as myself) in the proverbials, if it wasn't for the fact of the quality of mods here I would probably stop using this site.

At the allowed speed, a 119MB file would take just under 2 minutes to download... :whistling:

I routinely max-out my DSL connection at 200KB/sec so it doesn't matter what the Nexus limit is, a 119MB file takes me just about 10 mins total.

What i would like to see in future releases of NMM is a way of determining which mods were the last downloaded by say.... their date, so that when you arrive at CTD land you can easier find the

mods or plugins that are suspect for conflict.

 

With this many mods available and i redid SAPHIRE last night converting her from a thief who repeatedly says... I HAVE NO BUSINESS WITH YOU so Get OUT OF MY FACE! to a Blonde Bar room Lover.... it would be great to have a sherlock holmes mod that can specifically tell you where your problems ARE turning their titles red or something like that when certain mods don't work well together.

 

That and the WHOLE Body style choices so that they all work together like peanut butter and jelly.

Downloading with NMM has become almost impossible, their servers are either busy or unavailable, it's ridiculous.

 

That's the same problem I'm having this morning also... Hurricane related currently?

 

 

 

 

That's very possible. Many servers, and even internet trunk lines on the US east coast are still off line - not just in NYC but all across the region. That forces a lot of traffic onto any other working trunk lines possibly bogging them down as well.

The problem could have been worse, a lot of users are also off line in that region. You are having problems downloading a game - while they don't have any internet service - and often no electrical power at all. My guess is it will be several weeks before everything is back to normal - and even then there could be some instances of reduced service as companies patch together a working system with whatever equipment they can get.

I'm also getting constant errors. About half the time I get 'Server busy or unavailable, retrying'. The other half I get 'Error: <address>, unable to finish the download'. I've had that happen with files as small as 2KB.

 

I also get errors using the site, including clicking on a download link that's clearly visible on Nexus and being told that it's been set private. "This is not a site error, the user has set it to private." (But if it were actually set private, I wouldn't see it on the page! Besides, five minute later I tried again and managed to get one of the ones that was screwing up. WME compatibility fixes for Better That Gun and Arenovalis, btw.)

 

I'm a premium member, so the issues aren't contained to people who are free members.
