Ask WG to stop updating both games within a short timespan then...
And servers usually tend to have issues anyways.... with all the people trying to get WoT modpack instantly... everyone hammers the refresh button, spam clicks links, because "Oh no, they're slow, maybe it'll help if I open the link 100 times"
I take it you posted on my profile instead of replying here? Anyways, you downloaded the wrong modpack, otherwise it wouldn't give you that error...
Read the download page carefully, since there's links to TWO different versions of World of Tanks. You want the first one. It clearly shows the version numbers on there.
You'll need to just wait....
WoT update and WoWs update on the same days = Server is going to break, from the many many thousands that wants to download right away.
The mod was updated at some point, and things changed...
One of the old tags doesn't work anymore, from what I could gather from the config...
You can try going into it, and changing, switchOnHold="false" to true. (Or maybe it's the active part... I'm not sure tbh.)
\res_mods\0.6.7.0\alt_minimap\settings.xml
I don't know that mod, so... does it come as a zip file, or as a .wotmod?
If it's .wotmod, then it goes into \World of Tanks\mods\
If it's zip file, extract it as the folder structure inside the zip should show.
Could be any one of the servers your connection passes through, that slows it down.
Not really something you just go fixing or speeding up. Just try again some other time, or if you have the option, try using a proxy or vpn.
That's about all I can tell you.
You can use "version" folder name... without the numbers.
Name it "version".....
If you're manually entering the actual numbers, no wonder you're complaining about it, hehe

WoWs custom folder text file doesn't mention it I think, but the WoT one does:
For example: res_mods\version\gui\.... instead of res_mods\0.9.14\gui\
That's what the whole "VERSION" folder is for... so installer can put it properly. It needs it. Is it really such a big problem to create one folder extra?
1: Pretty sure all computers, by default, without needing extra programs, can make zip files.
2: How would it then know to put the files in the correct folders...
Look in your download folder?
That's where it would be, unless you deleted it yourself again. If you deleted it, redownload the installer. It'll remember your selections.
