Are you using any download accelerators or download manager? What web browser are you using? Are you using a shared Internet connection or does your ISP use CG-NAT?

Nowhere can be found that there is a limit of downloading 2 files at once. If you are gonna block people because of downloading more than 2, at least write it down on the download page. You list the files in a way that it is just logical to open all the links and start downloading them all at once.
I wanted to play ProMods for the first time. So I just created an account, wanted to download everything and now we get blocked for a few hours?!

Some say, I'm addicted to ETS2. But then I say. No, it's ProMods, it's a way of life.

And also 300 times in the topic you bumped. So if you're incapable to read the instructions on the download page and the topic you're bumping you actually deserve to be blocked...

So this is quite frustrating.. I have downloaded multiple versions to try and figure out a compatibility issue with the current VR version of ETS2.
Each time I have paid the £1 fee to download.. but I've tried to download 3 different def files to go with the packs I've paid for and now the site has banned me from downloading.

Pretty unfair considering I'm paying for the service. How can I get a def file (ST) for v2.52 now? Or a refund on the 3 files I just bought so I can go back to Vanilla and get my full VR support.

I'm not going to wait a few hours to download again.
What a dumb system. Its 2022 who's limiting downloads ffs.

Hi,

The system does not discriminate, it automatically warns and then times out users who have opened too many simultaneous connections. It also cannot detect any differences between historical def files or other files.

Thankfully the time-outs only last a short time so it should lift automatically sooner rather than later.

ProMods generates approximately 60TB of traffic each release. If we didn't have this system ProMods would not exist.
