It is not a torrent or anything it is a mod for a game. I have no idea what could be causing this because I got the program yesterday. I also don't know if this is the area to post problems, but I need some assistance.

I have already done a Google search too. Either am a total idiot or am missing something.

I suspect your link was temporary and it expired.

This could be true. I will try to download it again, and if the problem persists it might be on your side.

Seems to be running nicely so far. Maybe the link did expire, but I didn't check. What I should of done is copy the link of download and post into Chrome and see if the download worked, but I didn't. Oh well it is working now.
P.S Thanks for any help Usher.

The last conclusion is highly untrue since FDM downloads what the links give it and FDM won't be the cause of the problem if the links expired or are bad links to start with. If they fail then it's the Server side you got the file link from that is the problem not FDM and the user needs to contact their Server support and tell them about it. Telling FDM to fix the other Servers problem is a non starter.

I have the same phenomenon as you. I have tried deleting and reinstalling but it doesn't seem to work. I have downloaded the pc game mod techloky but it seems that FDM doesn't accept this version. I'm really confused as to how to handle it because I need to download them urgently to work. Anyone know please help me out. Thank You!

I asked and found a fix. Now I can use the pc game mod techloky again and it works quite stable.

What fix? Could you describe it for other users?
I can only add once more that copy-and-paste link from a browser to FDM doesn't work in many cases. I have explained it many times: install FDM extension in your browser, open download page, click needed link and let FDM catch download with all bells-and-whistles (referrer, session ID etc.).
