For non-Premium users that number is 5, for Premium users that number is 10. This obviously isn't good for the servers so we've coded in a queuing system that will only allow you to download a certain amount of files at a time. With the rise of sites that provide easy compatible lists that allow you to download mods more quickly (because you trust the source and don't read all the file descriptions) we've seen lots of users trying to download 50, 100, even 200 files at the same time in NMM. Once again, NMM will always check that server first, but if that server is down, overloaded (shouldn't be for Premium) or struggling then NMM will automatically find a different server instead.Īs mentioned in my previous news article on the subject, we've also changed the amount of concurrent downloads you can have running at any one time. For Premium Members, you can now pick the specific Premium server you would prefer to download from. This doesn't 100% guarantee NMM will always use the server's near to you, but it will always try them first before moving on to servers that will actually work for you or won't be overloaded. Lots of people don't seem to know that if you go in to NMM's options you can pick your closest location.

We've changed the way in which NMM picks the servers it uses based on your NMM option settings. This has probably helped to rectify 95% of all the original download issues that existed. Rinse, repeat until a server that actually works for you is found. However, on top of that, NMM has been recoded to now try the same server 3 times, and if all 3 attempts fail then NMM will then try to download from another server entirely. On the back-end, non-NMM side of things we're fixing the bugs that were/are causing the 'file does not exist with this ID' error, which were also causing the issues with NMM. With 0.47.0 the proof is in the pudding, while writing this update I started 50 downloads in NMM, by the end of writing all 50 had finished with a 100% completion ratio. That is to say, if I started 10 downloads, 2-3 would complete as expected, 7-8 would fail.

On 0.46.0 I was getting a 25% completion ratio on downloads. The main focus of this version is to dramatically improve, if not altogether eradicate the incomplete download issues that have plagued NMM for the past month or more and to also reduce the rather substantial requirements and strains that NMM is placing on our server-side infrastructure. Over the past few weeks the NMM crew have been working tirelessly on a new version of NMM.
