So it works sometimes but sometimes it doesn't. I don't know why but it's very unreliable

Try using a dev build which allows using websocket servers: https://github.com/SteamRE/DepotDownloader/actions/runs/10971966425

It seems like Steam is returning TCP servers that fail to accept connections.

Seems to be working! Would it make sense to create a release for this fix? To not depend on artifact output, since it's lifetime is 30 days only

Yeah, it'd be really appreciated. It's kind of annoying how unreliable it is with the connection.

Looks like this hasn't been included in the latest release yet. ^ It would be greatly appreciated if it could be released.
Edit: The artifact in PR build linked is so far doing much better

[modderchris]

issue not fixed, still happens in latest

[wopox1337]

🤔 in my case, the problem is solved and does not happen again after upgrading to 2.7.2

[modderchris]

hmm guess they DID patch it this week, will try a new download
