Cannot Download Some Mods Using v3.5.1.0
« on: 2025-01-09 13:34:30 »
Hi,

So I'm using 7H v3.5.1.0 (as I can't get v4.x working with my FF7 install) and it seems to all be working fine, apart from one major problem - some (quite a few, actually - but not all) of the mods in the 'Browse Catalog' window are refusing to download.

There are no error messages or anything - they're just stuck at 0 progress with 'unknown' in the 'Time Left' column. If I try to cancel them nothing happens - they just stay stuck in the downloads pane, unmoving. When I close 7H it asks me if I'm sure as there are pending downloads. When I reopen the downloads have cleared but the same happens again when I re-try.

This seems to be random - for example I initially tried the '60/30 FPS Gameplay' mod and it got stuck as described above. I tried it several times and the last time it worked. Then, in the same session, I tried 'Cosmo Memory' and it downloaded straight away, but then 'Ninostyle Batle' and 'Ninostyle Chibi' got stuck. Once again a few tries later they installed.

I'm not sure if this is just a server issue, or something misconfigured on my end. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to fix it, or any other pertinent information I can provide to help diagnose it?

Thanks.

maybe server reached limit
you can try download mods indivually then import IRO for the timebeing.  for each mod that has issue try search qhimm for that mod and then see if there is a direct download link available.  if there is not check the catalog.xml and you'll be able to figure out the links from the xml data contained within it you should get an error message shown if they dont download via browser.

what you'd be looking for if checking the catalog file:

section  <Link>iros://Url/http$syw.7thheaven.rocks/iros/[Tsunamods].SYW.Unified.Spells.Textures.V1.03.iro.7z</Link>

that would be link: https://syw.7thheaven.rocks/iros/[Tsunamods].SYW.Unified.Spells.Textures.V1.03.iro.7z  you'd then require to extract as that one uses 7zip compress extract then can import the extracted iro file

Thanks wdx. I'm not sure it's a server limit issue though - I've been manually downloading via the direct URLs and it's been fine.

What I've noticed though, is that if a mod is repeatedly getting stuck as described in my post above, if I turn my internet connection off and back on again (e.g. by setting 'Airplane' mode) it will then work. That could be something to do with my setup of course, but 7H appears to be the only program I use regularly that is affected so I don't know.

Anyway it doesn't really matter now as like I said I've been downloading manually and have pretty much got everything I need now, but thanks for the help all the same, I appreciate it.
