Getting 404 Error when downloading Mods
Was downloading mods before midnight then after midnight wasn't able to download anything at all. I keep getting 404 Error on a couple mods I've tried to download with my cookies cleared and other things in case it was my browser being a jerk to me.

Here's a list of them I tried to download with the 404 Error:
https://modthesims.info/d/547889/abductor-1-32.html
https://modthesims.info/d/615096/c-script-utility.html
https://modthesims.info/d/650494/wr...-royalties.html
https://modthesims.info/d/597106/1-...all-plants.html
https://modthesims.info/d/566034/no...y-sparkles.html

So far every mod i tried have a 404 error so I'm not sure anymore if it's the site or if its my end. Hopefully there's a fix to this.

I get both 404 and 500 errors when attempting to download from MTS as well so it's something to do with whatever MTS uses to host downloads being down. Been happening since around 12a EST here. I'm also not in the same section (TS2 vs TS3) with multiple different modders/downloads. All the same issue.

We're just going to have to wait until it gets fixed unfortunately.

I'm experiencing this too right now, I'm relieved that I'm not the only one! Every time I download something it says 404 not found

@Tashikrth -Thanks for responding to this because downloads fromthe site have been broken since about midnight which is over five hours.I even checked on more than one browser as I tested on both FIrefox and Waterfox.It was the same on both browsers.

I've just tried one upload and it downloaded just fine and my Pleasantview EPic Challenge sims might get a new shopping district in the coming years as the town moves into the mid 17th century.I donwloaded a terrain map and that's what I wanted.

Thanks for the info and heads up guys. I'm glad it wasn't just me nor just on my end.

It was happening to many of us last night and I've downloaded a few things to test and the downloads are mostly working now.

@Tashiketh

Hi, around 18th of March I've been notified that one of my files cannot be downloaded
( bonus pack archive ) the problem is still here, it's either I get "cant read from the source " error
or the download process starts, but it gets aborted

Can this be fixed?

Unfortunately, part of the reason the downloads went down on the 18th was due to some disk corruption. I'm in the process of moving everything to a new server (and I just checked, the backup copy works from on the new server), but the current version is unfortunately unavailable for now.

Hopefully next week I'll have everything ready to switch over. Thanks for your patience.

Hello @Tashiketh
I had a 404 error and also a 403 error (?) that stated something along the lines of "Permission Denied". When I saw this, I used the back arrow to return to the previous page and I think that was when the 403 error displayed.
I was not downloading at the time; only replying to a comment. If it should make any difference I was using a smart phone rather than my desktop and I definitely was signed in.
I tried again later to reply to the comment but it was okay then.
