FastDL mod downloading
-
Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with FastDL mod downloading on my BO2 server. For clarity, that should be the feature that allows the server to assert its mod list to clients, and if they dont have it, points them to a url which the mod can be downloaded over http before connecting.
My mod consists of merely 4 files totaling around 36MB, so nothing crazy. When a client connects, usually the 'large' ~30MB file downloads almost instantly with no issues, but the remaining smaller files (around 6KB each) consistently time out or fail to download. The server is hosted on a VM and I'm currently using HFS as my HTTP file server. I've verified that all files are accessible via browser from an external machine, permissions are correct, and the firewall is properly configured.
Before HFS, I also tried GitHub Pages. While the files were downloadable through a browser, the Pluto client would time out entirely. I'm assuming due to redirects and HTTPS enforcement that the game's HTTP client can't handle? With HFS I at least get partial success, but the behavior is strange since it can successfully download some but not all files and the remaining ones time out. This makes me think it's not a bandwidth or server load issue, but rather something related to connection handling. Possibly HFS closing or resetting the connection after the first transfer, or some kind of anti-flood protection kicking in and throttling the subsequent rapid requests from the same IP? Ive combed through the settings and I can't figure it out and was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to get fastDL working.
Has anyone run into this specific behavior before? What should I try?

Update: Moved the http server from hfs on windows to apache httpd. Same exact behavior. Server reachable, all permissions correct. The client only ever downloads 2 files on first connect attempt, 1 file on the second attempt and the final attempt downloads the last file and connects to server.
