Downloading Issue
Added 2025-03-18 19:02:07 +0000 UTCI received messages from two members today saying that downloads stopped working since last night. There might be more people affected
I haven’t changed any settings, and I tested with three of my own accounts—both logged in and logged out—without any issues. Plus, other subscribers were able to download content just moments ago, so it’s clear that not everyone is affected
