When the app reaches a high download count, it generates a whoosh index error: ord() expected a character, but string of length 0 found. It could be an error 500 on the live server that impacts some of the features related to the plugins such as download, search...
A temporary fix would be:
Delete all the files inside qgis-app/whoosh_index
Run the command make rebuild_index
We should keep this troubleshooting note somewhere and try to apply a proper fix to prevent this issue.
