Looks like you're dat-fox-helper is stuck on an older version of the site and not updating. Which version of the helper are you using? I recently published a new version that should have much better performance and reliability.

I’m using v0.2.1 on Fedora Linux 31. I installed it yesterday using the method the extension suggestions. Other Dat-sites appear to work fine.

Does this issue persist? I may be that peers were down preventing you from getting an up-to-date version. If not, you could try deleting the data in your library directory (~/.local/datfox/library/dat2/ee17...).

Does this issue persist?

Yes, on a Linux system and on a macOS system.

[…] your library directory ~/.local/datfox/library/dat2/[…]

Mine was located in dat1. When is dat2 shipping, anyway?

deleting the data in your library

That resolved the issue. I deleted it on both my systems without making a backup. That was probably stupid. Not sure how to help you debug this without those directories.

Sorry, dat1 is correct. Experimental dat2 support is working, but still have to implement backwards-compatibility.

It sounds like maybe the data on disk got corrupted, preventing an update to latest version of the archive. Maybe a hyperdrive issue. I'll close this issue for the time being, but keep in mind that these kind of errors can occur.
