(Skyrim SE) ESOCKETTIMEOUT and url missing

[AlmahOnNexus]

Hello good folks,

 

I hope you're staying safe and sane in these times! I've recently gotten back into Skyrim SE modding and wanted to give Vortex a try as I made some good experiences with NMM and Fallout 4 a few years back :smile: I would be grateful for some assistance in debugging a problem wherein mods for Skyrim SE are only successfully downloaded after numerous (1-6) attempts. Any help in the matter would be greatly appreciated and thank you! :smile:

 

Version: 1.3.22
Browser: Firefox and Chrome
OS: Windows 10

Process: I'm following Phoenix Flavour's setup guide to download essential Skyrim mods and I'm doing this by:

1. Clicking on a mod link that takes me to its mod page on Nexusmods
2. Navigating to the "Files" tab
3. Selecting "Mod Manager Download"
4. Vortex is open and shows a Download notification
5. The download fails with a ESOCKETTIMEOUT message (details below)
6. Attempting to use Nexus' Download Dialog and clicking "Download" results in more Download errors with the message, "No URL found for this download"
7. Closing the Nexus' Download Dialog
8. Repeat 3-7 again as necessary until the Download succeeds

Every mod download works eventually, but most of the time the mod initially fails with an ESOCKETTIMEOUT error the first time, and all subsequent clicks on Nexus' pop-up window with the "Download" button result in a "Missing URL"

Error message:

"Network connection to '' timed out, please try again."
code: ESOCKETTIMEOUT
connect: false

First recourse on any download error is download the mod manually. If that succeeds, drag the mod to the Vortex mods window.

 

Nexusmods has been hammered by folks downloading FNV Frontier (12GB). Hopefully, that time is about over. Try your download again.
