ive been trying to get on the server but the updater will either move so slow that even after letting it run for over an hour the progress bar hasnt moved more than a smidge OR it just stops mid-way through the checking for files to be updated.

is there someplace i can download the file manually?

ive logged onto other servers to see if the issue persisted there but have not had any problems with updating etc on them.

PLEASE HELP I WANNA PLAY!!!

I was having this issue too: the max download speed I hit was 55 KB/s. I might be able to upload the files for you elsewhere, temporarily, but... I'll wait to see what the staff says.

Edit, as a temporary fix:

"Cristiel"
 
I've uploaded all of the necessary files as super compressed .7z files, which is 7-zip for any that don't know. Just extract the hak files to your My documents / NWN 2 Folder / Hak folder, and the module contents to the My documents / NWN 2 Folder / Modules folder.

You can download the files here:

We were aware of a possible issue with the ADL after the recent power failure.

I'm sure when cryptc crawls out of his pit he will take a look. In the meantime, here is some music

Problem is that currently I can't host the main ADL source, so only the mirror on an ftp in italy is working... won't be resolved immediately but I'm looking into alternatives

I tried hooking ADL up to dropbox, but obviously toolset doesn't support https and dropbox only supports https... so afraid this problem will be around a while longer...

But Dropbox is the PW admin's friend! File hosting for the autodownloader shouldn't be more complicated than pointing the autodownloader to Dropbox/Public/SCoD. Regardless of what the toolset or dropbox claims, it really does work.

Like I said, it doesn't appear to allow me to put in an HTTPS address there, it gives me an error and says "Download URL must be a valid HTTP or FTP URI."

if you know a workaround, please share, since I am not even allowed to close that dialogbox in toolset with that address in it.

I think when I did it I just deleted the "s" from the https public link. Besides making it work, you have the bonus of feeling like you've just cheated the internet of. . something. .

Hm, not when clicking the hyper link though...

Has anyone actually tried this for an ADL? since it would be a pain to change, so if it doesn't work it'll prolly stay completely broken for dl's a while...

Yes, I hosted PW files off of dropbox for years, and I'm fairly sure there are other PW's that do so as well. It was the recommended file host when the autodownloader was first added.

Maybe they changed things at some point? Perhaps need to ask some other PW admins if they are currently using DB for it.

NWN2 hasn't been updated in a looong time, and I doubt dropbox changed its format that drastically in the past 4 months.
