What the hell is wrong with The Nexus lately?

[Scyris]

I am wondering whats wrong with the nexus lately, a week or 2 ago I never had any trouble, but lately I can never get any mods to download, they keep timing out, fs1 server says mods are hidden 90% of the time (even though they aren't), Downloading mods via NMM is not really working either, they keep timing out especally if its FS1. Is anyone else having problems? or is it just me an dmaybe how I am routed to the server is messed up atm. I could just download them manually as I am used to this, but, I kinda like how NMM keeps track of what mods you installed, where the files are (for easy uninstall), and notifies me of any updates to my mods. Then again I can rarely if ever even get manual downloads of mods to start, especally ones where you don't get the sever selection prompt for where you wanna download it from.

 

Anyway, is this just a problem I am having? or are others having issues like this do?

Server that seems to screw up the most for me is http://fs1.nexusmods.com/

 

P.s. Nexus guys, it'd be lovely if you could put in a auto resume/auto retry feature into Nexus Mod Manager for when issues like these pop up, as it is now if the file fails to download you have to manually remove it from the queue, go to the mod page and try again.

There are a few threads about it.

This one's sorta a general we're aware of it thread, l'm not sure how many more indepth posts there are on the next pages of the thread but anyway.

They're working on it, but theres been a HUGe amount of traffic lately. up till about 2 months ago, I would see about 700 other users per server when i tried to download a file as non-premium. Today I saw over 3k on each of the servers.

Well part fo the reason why is probally because the steam workshop for skyrim, then people who make those mods let them know about Nexus. 4+ million people play steam daily, that can cause a shitton of traffic. Also wow 3k? best I seen was around 2000.

[slainia]

yeah 3k - per server, you know how there are like...5? servers to chose from? - when I tried to download something this morning. was...pretty impressive. Lol.

And yes, things like that are definitely making nexus more popular.

 

Edit - the highest I just saw on a dl was 4.6k for one server. o.O

Scyris i've run into the same problem I also like using NMM more if it stops downloading or says error instead of complete what I do is keep trying to downloading whatever you are trying to get downloaded until it downloads thats all the advice I can give you because it worked for me if you try it I hope it works for you too
