Steam Workshop don't allow any maps to be uploaded and it would kill their Servers if a new Version comes out and 10000 of people would try to download it at the same time.

Still "You've been limited".
I already tried to use Microsft Edge but it's the same thing.

And what do you mean by "a single hit from you"?
hit = download attempt. I can now see multiple requests from Google Chrome as well as a single request from Edge to a different backend server (so it isn't us).

There is something on your computer preventing the download. Don't happen to have a third party Antivirus or Firewall (other than Windows Defender built into Windows 10)? I can not really help any more, I can see the requests getting through successfully but either Cloudflare or the servers are not liking what you're doing so you're getting limited straight away. You can always use the paid option (no, we're not forcing you to use this). Read the FAQ's for more as this is related to you - https://www.promods.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=26256
Right now I'm only using Windows Defender, so I don't know what is happening either. I'll probably use the paid option.
Thank you for trying to help me! :D

imme0, are you sure that the download hasn't started? The progress bar on Opera's taskbar icon shows that something is actually loading up, or something is getting downloaded.

Also, is there any reason why the site keeps me from downloading 3rd file out of 7 needed on the free download system? I think the system, which determines amount of currently used download threads is quite unreliable.

My download isn't working. I can download the def file just fine but when i try to download mod files it says i exceeded the donwload limit, although i haven't downloaded a file from the promods site for more than 3 weeks. Any help? i read that text that says that if i keep trying to download the mod i will get temp-banned my IP. Am i banned or something? Also, just so you know, i am trying to download the mod from my HOME network, and there are no other computers connected to it.

Of all the replies since my last reply I've checked the logs of each individual and can see attempts within seconds of each other meaning the servers are flagging active requests. They're restricting based off this, but this also means you've got something on your PC that is causing this to happen.

I see the major 3 browsers - Chrome, Edge and Firefox v68

In this time, the servers have successfully been processing downloads for many other people and are not at capacity. I've also been unable to replicate the issue myself.

Please ensure:
1) You're only using Windows Defender as your antivirus of choice. Many others will interfere with the download (and having only Windows Defender is actually safer than many other alternatives).
2) There is nobody else on your network, or IP address downloading at the same time.
3) Read the FAQ for the rest: https://www.promods.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=26256

The system is somewhat reliable, but a little grumpy under severe load like it has been for the last 2 days.
