Can't download patch or installation, gets stuck at 0B/s
Hello,
I was unable to install the latest-ish patch, it would download a little bit and get stuck at 0B/s. Launching the patch installer several times would download a little more each time, before getting stuck at 0B/s again. After doing that a dozen times, it would get stuck at 0B/s immediately. So I tried something else: I uninstalled PoE with the intent of downloading it again from scratch. The installer for the whole 26gb does the same thing: it would download 10mb or so, before getting stuck at 0B/s. I looked for some quick/free VPN to rule out an ISP issue. Running BattlePing makes no difference, although I'm not entirely sure the download is being routed through their servers... I can still try a full non-free VPN. Does anyone know what is going on? And my laptop has the same issue, in case that rules out some possible causes. Thanks. Last bumped on Nov 27, 2020, 6:56:17 AM

After poking around a little, I have identified the problem to be the file:
http://patchcdn.pathofexile.com/3.12.5.1/fmod64.dll The server sends the HTTP/1.1 200 OK response to that request, message length of 1795584, but the response's body never comes. |

I was actually able to download that file on my phone and copy it to PoE's installation path, replacing the file of 0 bytes there.
Would that be the ISP blocking the download of a "harmful" DLL? But then it still fails to download: http://patchcdn.pathofexile.com/3.12.5.1/Bundles2/Art/particles/environment_effects/labyrinth_2.bundle.bin With the same symptoms: HTTP/1.1 200 OK, message length of 1141274, then the response's body just doesn't arrive. Weird, weird, weird... |
