Download more than one mod at once

[CCVia]

Hello!

I've moved to the mods-status branch and I'm downloading all the mods through Steam Workshop. The smaller ones are downloading without any problem, but if I start searching and installing all the mods I need at once, some of them are never making it to the server. The download apparently starts but it never finishes and they never make it to the mod list (simply disappear).

This is the output I get when I try to download two mods at once. Note the port error:

Is it possible every time I click the download button I'm starting a new steamcmd instance using the same port?

Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks!!

More info on this:

I've found online there is a known bug with steamcmd causing errors with larger than 1Gb downloads (connection timeout). I might be experiencing two different problems; one with the port and another with this bug.

[Dahlgren]

If I remember correctly this is a limitation with SteamCMD and it's metadata files. I've intended do add a blocker to ensure only one download occurs at the same time but never got around to it.

SteamCMD has an hardcoded timeout and the download will stop once the timeout is reach. Downloading the same mod again will resume the download.

Damn it, that timeout is a complete nonsense. Looking for a fix I've found a lot of people pissed off for this. Thank you for clarifying it!

I've downloaded everything and I guess now it will become easier because I won't need to download as many mods. I bet it is not a priority but maybe establishing some sort of a queue would be useful.

Thanks a lot for your help!!
