I just joined the site about a week ago. I have not been able to download any mods at all, Download sequence or process will not complete so the download can begin. ????

If you are unable to download it's because something is blocking connections to Dropbox on your computer. There was a host file hijack virus going around created by media companies to stop illegal downloading. It's possible you came across it. Check here for instructions on where to see if you have it and if you do, you can remove any lines mentioning dropbox.com and it should work (note you'll need to open notepad by right clicking and run as administrator to be able to edit this file if you are on Windows 10).

If that doesn't apply then perhaps you are using a VPN or something?

Hey, I can't download MasterController because of error:

cURL error 6: Could not resolve host: api.dropboxapi.com (see http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html)

Is it possible to download from alternative source?

Nothing changed. I tried download Master Controller on my phone via LTE and happened the same.

Hatrix77 - I suspect the issue is the country you are connecting from. If it disallows Dropbox content across the board and you don't have a way around it, then that would be consistent with the errors you are seeing that the rest of us might not be. We do not have a mirror server at this time, I'm afraid.

The cURL error to the API is indicative of a server error which is why I suspected it was this side of things but I'm afraid I'm not sure why no one else is seeing it.

I'm from Poland and I found a way to download it. I used a proxy from Netherlands.
