hey guys,

need advise here please.

i have everything uploaded to the correct places and the actual gaming server is running just dandy, even downloading from the redirect perfectly.

but i am having a small issue that keeps getting on my nerves a little.

the actual mod keeps downloading 3 or 4 times one after another...
why is this happening?

would appreciate any help here as i am at a loss.

the mod is the same size on the server and the redirect, and named exactly the same but still, when downloding the mod it gets so far then restarts the download again.very strange.

again would appreciate any help to resolve this issue please guys.

thank you

The mod is downloading over and over because the one on your redirect doesn't match exactly the one on the server (it might be corrupted or just be a slightly different version).

To solve the problem, delete the mod file on your redirect space and then re-upload it directly from the server.

Just an update on this problem for future reference - the problem was caused by having capital letters in the mod folder name on a 64 bit Windows OS. Once the capital letters were lowered to lower case, everything was fine.

Ahhh thats a good thing to know now, didnt know that before.

Now I see why I always use all lower case in mod folder names.

Yeah, it's hyphens in the mod folder name which cause the problem with Linux, and capital letters for 64 bit Windows.
