http://rtor.nyx.feralhosting.com/files/WoT_DLC.torrent It's been sitting there for a while but I can't get stable performance out of it. Neither can I finish it 100% before it either disconnects or comes up with a hash error.

If you have any issues with the DLC server please post them in this thread. Please provide as much information as you can. (traceroute, speedtest) For 404 errors please contact Aslain directly. Current status: 2020-06-20: We have moved to a new hosting provider located in Falkenstein, Germany. Much more stable solution but long-distance routes seem to have less throughput. There are no plans to use a global CDN. But we might add individual servers in locations with a really bad global connection. old: 2020-09-29: small issue caused the DLC server to be offline for 2-3 hours. one-off event that we can easily prevent in the future. 2020-06-18: ISP seems to have locked up the webserver without communication.... currently investigating. 2020-06-19: Throttled all individual connections to 2MB/s, will look into more stable alternative solutions after this incident. 2020-05: IO issues currently, standby. Above has been fixed. Moved to a better storage solution. Slow download? first check if it's your own connection with a speedtest. Some remote locations can have very slow download speeds due to the DLC server being centralised in Western Europe, feel free to post your country, speedtest result & download speed of the Aslain modpack if you have this issue.

Not when leeching from a web seed sadly. The repo has HTTPS support so you can always use that. I'm still actively working on the issue by trying to fix it through other means.

Web seed over torrent caused the same issues that regular http caused. Will look for other methods of resolving the problem.

If anyone here wants to actively debug this and lives (or has a server) in either America or Asia (or any other location that seems to have download interuptions) contact me in pm on this forum.

Sounds like a plan, I'll use web-seed to bypass having to write another script to add and remove it from an actual torrent client. We'll add it as a link either in the installer or somewhere around the download location. I'll respond to this thread once this is up and running. Thanks for the suggestion.

Looks like somehow your local connection doesn't like big HTTP transfers, seeing as you also have trouble downloading them from your own (US-based(I think)) server. I have no idea how or why this is happening... maybe your ISP is throttling something. (wouldn't image so but you never know) 9MB/s is still not by far reaching the potential speed that server-to-server would give us. Is your server connection 1Gb/s or 100Mb/s? So... setting up FTP is doable if the installer supports it. (waiting for a confirm from Aslain on that one) Nothing wrong with giving people a choice between ftp/http ofcourse. see ^ Right now there only is support for downloading the installer itself through the torrent platform. We'd have to either make a torrent for every single file, or throw all files in a single torrent and only download part of that torrent. Problem with the last solution is that these files get changed quite often. So a new torrent has to be generated every time a small update takes place. It's possible but from my pov inefficient. Also the installer would have to support the torrent protocol. I have no experience in programming installers so again, Aslain has to look into that. As for the downloads being interrupted every few minutes over the HTTP protocol, do you also see this happening on your own server or only on the DLC server? offtopic: thanks for the extended debugging on your part. wget is love wget is life.

The server has a "shared" (<25% use on average): 2x 10Gbit/s exit to Switzerland 1x 10Gbit/s exit to US-California 2x 10Gbit/s exit to NL-Amsterdam 1x 10Gbit/s exit to NL-Utrecht With a combined cap of 10Gbit/s out of which on average we only use 1-2Gbit/s. The server/web server supports upto 100k concurrent connections. which we are nowhere close to. This is not a speed issue. Raw files are located here: http://rtor.nyx.feralhosting.com/files/ This is most likely the case. Indeed the server is located in Europe but there is at least 1 dedicated line running to the West Coast, I can't provide more than that with a 0$ budget. Chances are that your ISPs infrastructure is not optimized for high bandwidth cross-Atlantic traffic. Try downloading some big files directly through HTTP and see if you can get some decent speeds on those.
