Oh the files eventually download, but it usually requires good luck on a release day and / or multiple attempts. My internet is pretty darn reliable here, 100MB down, 10MB up and I have a dedicated server that's up 24/7 so definitely not an issue on my end with spotty internet or I'd have other issues that would be easy to detect. I've heard from other gamers on other F95 threads as well that they routinely have issues where downloads will stop in the middle with the hosters.Most games here are torrented - through invite-only private trackers. An F95zone member will, on occasion, torrent things through open trackers but this is rare because it requires someone have an above-average knowledge of torrenting just to help a handful of people that can't DL through the hosting services.
None of the developers that I've chatted with have any interest in torrenting because their software build systems can be configured to auto-upload to various hosts and their Patreons aren't asking for this.
The question you have to ask yourself is "why am I having a problem when thousands of people are downloading this successfully"...
I simply prefer torrents because I don't mind seeding to help people out and they are more reliable. I've been seeding another game for about 3 months from another thread.
