7th Heaven / Re: Errors downloading mods

« on: 2016-08-03 01:58:23 »

Hey, I've got the same problem with large mod files, I'm using Windows 7 x64. It appears (in my case at least) the problem is with the limited file size that Google Drive permits for download without checking with the user. But I've got a work around:

1. With 7th Heaven, select and download the mod as usual, only it can't download (it'll show some "Error Downloading xxx" or alike).

2. Now, quickly go to your Library location (should be \mods\7th Heaven according to tutorial), then go to temp folder. You'll see your attempted download mod, e.g. if you try to download mod Media Music and Sound, you'll see something like <some hexadecimal string>_Media___Music_and_Sound_2.0.iro

3. Open said *.iro file in your browser (I just dragged the file to my waiting Google Chrome). It should say something like Google exceeds maximum file size for virus scan.

4. Click on the File name link (not the Download anyway link) on this page. Google should redirect you to login to your chrome account (if you haven't already). It will load the download page, click the download link, then it will load the page that said the same thing (exceed file size), only with graphics (buttons and such).

5. Now click on the Download anyway button, you should be able to download the mod now (as *.iro file)!

6. After you finished your download, import the *.iro archive with 7th Heaven into your Library and it should be good to go!

I hope this helps! (if anyone still watch this thread that is...)

dear Alyza,
thank you for the hard work and yours is the best we can get today. anyway, as the same problems as the others, I had stucked while trying downloading the big mods (movies, music) in 50% or less. I had tried almost 10 times with no luck, all of the advices i had tried including the above, but unfortunately mind only downloding the same file. would you be so kind to share the .iro files if for any chance this thing happen to any of us?
Thank you in advance
