Above is incorrect, if you watch it then it stops at the size it ends up being its just the server acts like its the real end of the file.

1. https://neue.itch.io/m00d

2. 2GB

3. Yesterday

4. Yes

5. UK

6. Fails at 200-500MB

7. Browser

Trying to launch an update here, the fact it fails and acts like it downloaded fine but is corrupted is confusing to users and I'm postponing launch because of this, at least if the system reported the fail correctly to the browser users would know it downloaded wrong and the issue was on itch's side.

Yes is exactly like you described.

Hey there!  I received another report about the issue just now from a user claiming they purchased the game and tried downloading in the last half hour and encountered the issue.  

1. https://eromancer.itch.io/pure-onyx-october-2023
2. 1.7 GB
3. On the 4th(? approximately) of this month
4. Uploaded via Butler
5. US
6. The recent report suggests the download ended early

Here's the report: https://itch.io/post/8922752

Thanks, I was able to confirm it’s still happening here. Investigating.

Oh so this might be why my recent download was cut abruptly. Anyways, here's my report:

 1. Free GUI icon pack

2. Around 15MB

3. It says that it's uploaded 2 days ago

4. 

5. Indonesia

6. At first try the downloaded file was 8MB. On second try it's downloaded correctly.

7. via browser

This is rather interesting, with the file being only 15MB. Most downloads fail silently above 100+ MB.

  1. Link to the affected game page: https://skyward-gamess.itch.io/the-faceless-man
  2. Size of the file you’re attempting to download: 3GB

  4. Was the file uploaded using Butler? (This is only relevant for page owners): Yes
  5. Your geographical location (if you’re comfortable sharing): Brazil
  6. A brief summary of the issue - does the download cut out? Slow down? etc.: Users are saying the zip file is corrupted
  7. Are you downloading via the app or through your browser?:

  6. A brief summary of the issue - does the download cut out? Slow down? etc.

    - We're receiving reports about downloads from the website and via the app both.

Please fix this issue!

Faced this issue yesterday and also just now.

 2 - Multiple files, from 150mb to 250 mb 

 3 - Uploaded May 2023 

 5 - South Asia

 6 - Downloads fine, but files are corrupt. I checked the 7zip files in an editor, the file starts with the correct header and has binary data. Same with zip files.

7. Browser

https://naughtyroad.itch.io/light-of-my-life
Download using the browser (Chrome).
All three available downloads (pc/linux, Mac, Android) fail, file size ~8 GB for the first two, ~2GB for the last.

The failure is that the download breaks somewhere halfway through, and the message in chrome is "failure - forbidden". There are no corrupted files, it just aborts the download.

This is my own game page, but also reported by some of my customers (which is why I went on and gave it a spin).
Edit, just noticed the question list, adding: 

  1. Link to the affected game page https://naughtyroad.itch.io/light-of-my-life
  2. Size of the file you’re attempting to download: varies, between 2GB and 8 GB
  3. Was the file recently uploaded? (If so, when?): 67 days ago.
  4. Was the file uploaded using Butler? (This is only relevant for page owners): Yes
  5. Your geographical location (if you’re comfortable sharing): Netherlands
  6. A brief summary of the issue - does the download cut out? Slow down? etc.: The failure is that the download breaks somewhere halfway through, and the message in chrome is "failure - forbidden". There are no corrupted files, it just aborts the download.
  7. Are you downloading via the app or through your browser? Browser (Chrome).

2- from 300 to 2gb

3- most are some months old

4-.

5- Argentina

6- it gets prohibited

7- through my browser in my phone

Got two reports from players having trouble downloading one of my games. One was reported today just a few hours ago, the two days ago or so.

  1. https://labchurros.itch.io/undergroundcathedral
  2.  2gb
  3. One or two months ago
  4. No Butler
  5. Don't know
  6. They say it was cutting off. One reported being able to download it only after getting a download manager.
  7. One of them was through the browser the other I don't know.

1. https://killahseven.itch.io/my-new-family
2. 2.9Gb
3. 3 days ago
4.
5. France
6. download seems to work fine up to 1.2Gb, then my browser says it's done all of a sudden, when it's not even half way through. Of course the supposed compressed archive i should have is not complete so it is not recognised as a valid compressed archive.
7. DDL through browser on a PC

But yeah, as Strehnx said, pretty much all dowload from your site have been failing for a couple days. Not literally all of them, but most of those i tried. The one i mentionned is just the last one i tried. I thought it was a problem on my side and spent hours trying to fix it. Good luck fixing it.

still getting reports of this for both Mac and PC versions of (NSFW) https://altosandherdone.itch.io/the-headmaster
6GB each, uploaded via butler 9-Jun-2023 (not by me)
reports of downloads appearing to complete but massively truncated (2GB or less) via browser as recently as today, one France, one US

1. https://deviantdev.itch.io/dominatrix-simulator

2. 4,6Gb

3.  Last updated version was on June 14,2023

4.

5. Germany

6. Download is getting cancelled after 2Gb and after that the File is corrupt (ZIP compressed file error, ZIP file is invalid), download speed is capped at 6mb

7. Trough my browser

  1. https://sirshrinkums.itch.io/gsim  (NSFW)
  2. About 8gb
  3. About 10 days ago.
  4. idk
  5. Each time I attempted download, I get a different size file around 8gb and each time 7zip, WINRAR, and Windows builtin archive extractor says the arrchive is corrupt. Upon further inspection it seems not all of the file completed as it is a UE4 game but contains no executable and is possibly missing other files as well. 
  6. Tried several browsers.

Glad to see I'm not the only one with these issues. Can we get an estimate on the time until fix? I have basically the same issue text as spamboxje1601.

Have had a hard time updating a few games, they would stall and restart after around 100 MB, most have eventually worked, accept Shards of God, updated about a week ago, just won't finish downloading.

Details:

url- https://hvavra.itch.io/shards-of-god

size- 134 MB

uploaded last week sometime

location- Canada

resets before finishing download

using the desktop app on Kubuntu 22.04

Just an update for everyone. We are still testing and debugging. We just pushed out a configuration change that based on my testing seems to have alleviated the issue. Please do keep reporting if you are seeing issues though, as it will give me more pages to test.

I wrote a comment some Hours ago.

My Problem got solved and i can download without problems again.

If you guys did an update, Its Working !

I was able to download my games. Whatever you are doing it's working. 👍

Hey there :D.  I just received another report about downloads failing.  A customer tried to download this project multiple times and was met with slow download times, then it failed partway through each time.  Figured I should report it here in case it's related, as I haven't had reports of failed downloads until this month.

1. https://eromancer.itch.io/pure-onyx-october-2023

2. 1.7 GB
3. On the 4th(? approximately) of this month
4. Uploaded via Butler
5. User is in the Philippines 
6. They said it failed around 60% multiple times

I hope not.

That region seems to have problems regularly. https://itch.io/t/3039327/images-are-not-loading-at-all-and-downloads-dont-work-...
