I can no longer download some of my own mods

Post by Optera »

Using either the mod portal or the in game download i always get an 404 for the newest version of these 2 mods:
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Inventory ... /downloads
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/StorageTank2/downloads

Other mods and other versions of these two can be downloaded just fine.
This is really annoying as I run different installations of Factorio for development and playing and use updates to check if my mods download correctly.

Update: Last version is downloadable. But previous is still not.
Looks like everyone who uploaded their mods in last 12 hours must to re-upload it.

You uploaded new versions of your Factorio mods Storage Tank Mk2 and Inventory Sensor just earlier, but our mod data server ran out of space, so unfortunately they didn't save. Would you mind repuloading them?

Sorry for the trouble and have a nice weekend!

Thanks, for the info.
Reuploaded the affected mods and they seem to work now.

The most confusing part about this was how those broken uploads kept generating downloads. Does the portal count downloads by counting requests instead of successful downloads?

The download count increase is generated when the download link redirects you to the actual link to the file on the mods-data.factorio.com server, but the file wasn't there, so it failed too late for it not to be counted as a download.

Switching into :twisted:-thought-mode: This also means that a "motivated individual" can trivially push the count of stuff by click/abort/click/abort. Makes the informative value of the whole total-download-count thing even worse than it already is. And i don't even know how much of my own download counts i've generated via debugging :p.

TL;DR: When do we get a each-account-counts-as-one-download-only "concurrent installations count" feature?

Mod size limits?
Only last version for deprecated mods?

Well ofc space for mods isn't infinite.
It'd be good if all modders where to only keep the last few versions for each factorio version instead of hosting a complete archive of all versions.

Perhaps wube could move mods to a storage that only saves differences between version to reduce redundant data similar to how gitlab works.
