DLC server is very slow today, seems to be capped at 175kB/s (which means a very long time to download 292MB of new DLC, about 30 mins).

There seem to be two different files for 1.13.0.0_16 web download: 105,529,035 bytes torrent download: 105,565,772 bytes I have a copy of both files, and the changelog at the start of the installer wizard is the same, so both claim to be #16. The smaller "web" version is very close (but not identical) in size to #15 (which was 105,528,757 bytes), so I assume the web version is an early pre-release build and the torrent version is a later final build. As has happened more than once in the last couple weeks, when I tried to download the torrent I saw there were no seeds (sometimes with many leechers waiting) so I just download the web version and do the initial seeding myself. Except in this case the file on the http mirror and the file in the torrent are not the same so that doesn't work.

Same issue just came up for Aslains_WoT_Modpack_Installer_v.1.13.0.0_16.exe

The file specified in the .torrent for Aslains_WoT_Modpack_Installer_v.1.12.1.1_06 is not the same file as can be downloaded from the direct links.

I've always had Prebattle Countdown Shadow Remover enabled, but this morning's battle after installing v.1.9.1.1_05 I find the countdown shadow is back.

Your .torrent file works fine as expected. Magnet links only contain the hash of the entire file (02446cc876eb11e758663b290c22b442a1deee70) in this case. It does not contain the breakdown of the 1189 pieces in the file or the piece hashes. The entire-file hash is sufficient for the torrent client to contact another torrent client who does have the .torrent file (initially this would be only the first seed) and ask for a copy of the .torrent data. Once it has that it can start downloading pieces of the file, but not before. Even if there are webseeds listed in the magnet link, they are of no use until the full .torrent data is available, because the client has no idea what how many pieces and what size are supposed to be in the torrent (so it can't ask the webseed for a specific chunk of the file), and no way to verify individual chunks. So magnet links do work, but .torrent files work much better.

Magnet link has been corrected, yes. But it's hard to be the first downloader without a .torrent file, have to wait a long time before the single seeder decides to share the hash structure (been sitting here 5 mins already). Still looking forward to the time when you can publish .torrent links instead of (or in addition to) magnet links. edit: it took 11 minutes before the single seed hasn't handed out the hash structure to any of us, by then there were 11 peers waiting to download. Once the hash structure goes out to someone then it works fine.

The magnet link for the torrent download of Aslain's WoT ModPack v1.9.1.1 #04 is incorrect, it downloads a WoWs modpack.

I already had manually added the tracker, although it seems I was one of only a couple people to do so based on the tracker count, everyone else I guess found each other eventually via DHT and peer exchange. But no worries, I'm sure there'll be a new modpack update soon and it will fix itself.

I used the link immediately before posting my comment. The URL does not include tracker information (it does include a webseed): https://preview.tinyurl.com/yaz35zqg

The magnet link for the torrent download seems to have lost the tracker information, making it harder to download.

It hadn't happened to me for a while (several weeks at least), but I just installed v.1.9.0.3_04 and immediately got the freeze-on-return-to-garage-at-end-of-battle problem. Missing my 3500 XP bonus :( The only other change that probably aren't relevant (but might be): * first battle I've won today, all previous ones I died and exited the battle before the end * first battle with Premium account in a month or so (got a free day from a mission) Aslains_WoT_Logs.zip

Thanks Aslain! For me the magnet link doesn't properly convey the webseed links, but that's likely on me for using uTorrent v2 Webseeds do work from a .torrent file, but I understand that's more trouble than generating a magnet link. The addition (or, restoration) is most welcome.

Your preferred configuration is saved locally, but all actual swapping of stuff needs to go through the server. It appears that the mod(s) blindly demounts all the equipment/camo from the currently-selected tank, sends it all to the depot, selects the new tank, then re-applies your preferred configuration to that tank. In my case it looks like it's demounting 9 pieces of camo and 3 equipment from the previous tank, and re-applying the same number to the new tank, taking about 1 second per item, even though I may have sufficient quantity of said items in my depot to not need to do that. I think previous versions (or perhaps it was a different mod) would only demount equipment/camo from an available tank in the garage if there wasn't enough stock in the depot to equip the new tank, which made switching back and forth between two tanks significantly faster. Out of curiosity, which of the camo/equipment/crew auto-equipping mods are you using?
