That's funny,

in each post the same replies.

    "This is not the right category..."
    "Try it again..."
    "Have you done the right things?..."

But no one takes care about the problem, even the mods are doing anything.

The fact is, since the service "transfer.sh" is hosted by storj.io, it doesn't work proberly anymore.

You can read this in many threads....
https://github.com/dutchcoders/transfer.sh/issues/277
https://github.com/dutchcoders/transfer.sh/issues/272
https://github.com/dutchcoders/transfer.sh/issues/271
https://github.com/dutchcoders/transfer.sh/issues/190
https://github.com/dutchcoders/transfer.sh/issues/220
https://github.com/dutchcoders/transfer.sh/issues/198

Same issue here, no one is responsible for this. And storj.io seems to do not really something.

You can check the functionality for your own:
- Download "curl" (e.g. for windows)
- unpack it
- create a text file (e.g. "Hello.txt")
- save it in the same directory
- and do this on the command-line:
    
    curl --upload-file ./hello.txt https://transfer.sh/hello.txt

You will see it doesn't work... ("could not save metadata")

Conclusion:
When minehut is not changing the "/dl" to another (reliable) file hoster it will not work anymore.

Hi,

yes you are right. Minehut relies on a service which is not reliable anymore.

The problems have been going on for months and storj.io cannot fix them.

Maybe it will work tomorrow, or next week, or next month, or even never.

Minehut can do nothing but change the file hoster, maybe file.io is an alternative. File.io is already recommended by minehut for uploading files.

Maybe they can change the file hoster in the "/dl" command. File.io can also adressed by the "curl" command.

The next alternative is to host the file server be themselves. The source for transfer.sh is free of charge on github.

Greetings

Ok, but then if transfer.sh maybe won't work EVER, does that mean our worlds (and mine) will be locked in minehut until storj.io fixes transfer.sh? 

PS I suggest minehut to add a feature in the panel that you can download worlds from THERE.

While I completely understand, the reason why we are limited to how we can help players with this is because it's completely out of Minehut's power and we have to rely on the downloading site for it to be fixed.

Hi @Koroonotchii

 

can you explain how is this "completely out of Minehut's power"?

@schrisis completely diagnosed the problem and gave you a solution -> change file hosting provider.

A quick web search suggested as alternative  https://www.file.io/ , probably there are other.

The only thing that is required is to adapt the upload command to be compliant with file.io API

 

As an alternative you could allow downloading files directly from the web ui - though I'm pretty sure this requires enabling additional components on the website and would require more work

THANK YOU!!!!!! Ive been going round and round with a mod on their discord that is boarder line insulting my intelligence about file.io. The response she keeps giving me is its a money issue, Yet file.io is free to use like transfer is, and thats its out of their hands. Which is ridiculous in my opinion.                            EDIT:*  It sure seems like it wants to, but just wont.

This issue happens because the downloading system that Minehut uses isn't working properly. Keep trying every now and again and it should work eventually. You can also check to see if the site is up here

It's only my speculation that transfer.sh will never ever work, but it seems that the priority from storj.io is not on transfer.sh.

But you are right if transfer.sh is not fixed your world will stuck in minehut forever until minehut will implement another solution.

It would be a good idea to add this feature in the panel.

Thanks so much. Is there any way that I can contact Minehut so I can (in any way other that transfer.sh) ask them to somehow download my world?

I would recommend contacting support here

Im mealy sharing the information that is already on the forums to a question someone had.  Im aware that you guys are going to do nothing to fix it currently, *EDIT- Or ever since it seems its been going on for months...but its ok, I opened a support ticket with League, hopefully they are more professional and will try to come up with a solution, instead of excuses.

Has anyone seen any new information on this?  I just had a chat with Super League support and they basically said this happens when the software goes down just keep trying.  Has anyone been able to download a world since January?  It is June 29th now and I can't seem to figure out how to download a backup of the world my son and his friends play in.

Deciding whether that happens or not is not up to me, post that in the Suggestions Category and await opinions from others. Right now, Minehut doesn't have the power to fix the problems with the download provider.
