Can't Connect to Content Server.
I just downloaded OpenTTD the other day and I saw that I couldn't connect to the content server I thought it was that the servers were down but four days had passed and still no luck. So now I'm here asking you guys for help. I can't check any Online Content or all I get is the error code saying, "Could Not Connect To Content Server......" I am Running on Windows 7 64-bit and using version 1.3.1. So please help
Re: Can't Connect to Content Server.
First of all, I recommend to check your internet connection... as it requires internet to work. I just tried that from my computer and it works well, even I upgraded some NewGRFs. Using 32-bit r25389 through.
All in all, could you download anything from BaNaNaS itself manually ? It could be some sever problem, else there's a bug within that built (which is should be... unlikely).

Bananas site is up, but binaries site is not. http://www.isup.me/binaries.openttd.org says it's not just me.

His problem is with BaNaNaS, not with binaries. He have OpenTTD already.Sylf wrote:Bananas site is up, but binaries site is not.

Re: Can't Connect to Content Server.
I haven't had any problems connecting to BaNaNaS or via in-game, but I have had random and intermittent connectivity issues with tt-forums and openttd.org today.

Re: Can't Connect to Content Server.
Fine here too.
Josephmate,
Is OpenTTD blocked by your firewall?
If not, do you have the same problem with the 32bits version?

Re: Can't Connect to Content Server.
OpenTTD uses TCP and UDP port 3979 for server <-> client communication, UDP port 3978 for masterserver (advertise) communication (outbound), and TCP port 3978 for content service, a.k.a. BaNaNaS (outbound)

Re: Can't Connect to Content Server.
That can be misleading. Our load balancer may pick a different mirror for isup.me compared to the mirror you get yourself. The mirror selection will favour a mirror near your location but also take into account the current load of the different mirrors.Sylf wrote:Bananas site is up, but binaries site is not. http://www.isup.me/binaries.openttd.org says it's not just me.

Re: Can't Connect to Content Server.
From a quick code dive, I see that OpenTTD uses content.openttd.org port 3978 to retrieve list of available downloadables, and uses binaries.openttd.org port 80 by default to download the actual downloadable files.YNM wrote:His problem is with BaNaNaS, not with binaries.

It it seems all services are back, so I'll drop the subject.
Re: Can't Connect to Content Server.
I checked myself to the download links in BaNaNaS over the web, and indeed it's binaries.openttd.org.Sylf wrote:From a quick code dive, I see that OpenTTD uses content.openttd.org port 3978 to retrieve list of available downloadables, and uses binaries.openttd.org port 80 by default to download the actual downloadable files.

Re: Can't Connect to Content Server.
Retreiving the list of available content is handled by a different server than the load balancer on binaries.openttd.org. That in turn will re-direct you to a mirror which then actually and finally serves the content to you. binaries.openttd.org itself will never give you a file, it's "only" re-directs you to a mirror based on availability of requested content, load of the single mirrors and distance between you and the mirrors.

Re: Can't Connect to Content Server.
There was a period of downtime on the US mirror yesterday morning. This was unfortunately outside of my control, and was due to a power problem at the datacentre. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Re: Can't Connect to Content Server.
Having similar issues, my home network has not changed. Now cannot access openttd content servers unless I connect my VPN. I added Openttd.exe to my antivirus/firewall excepted applications. I tried disabling my Symantec E.P. and still no content servers. not until I connect my VPN to a local server.
Re: Can't Connect to Content Server.
Are you seeing a specific error message when you attempt to connect? Also, are you able to reach https://bananas.openttd.org/ ?uprrfan530 wrote: ↑05 Mar 2021 02:15 Having similar issues, my home network has not changed.

Re: Can't Connect to Content Server.
Okay and now I'm going to report my own issue. I can connect, but when I try to download, the download stalls, and then around 30 seconds later I'm kicked back out to the main menu. No error messages.
