Downloads failed dialog doesn't appear

[P1XZL]

Every time I try to start CKAN it keeps being stuck on the repositories. I have reinstalled ckan multiple times, even tried an older version and it still crashed. What do I do?

[P1XZL]

I'm trying to just use the kerbal mod installer. Also, do you have any idea on how I could fix that malware issue and completely reset the ckan configs?

[P1XZL]

Sorry for that, yes I added the repository myself. I thought that was like a plugin for ckan. Btw I cannot access the settings because it keeps freezing.

[P1XZL]

I'll try that, thanks. I'll come back if something went wrong or not

[P1XZL]

Ay man, thanks. It works again! Now I can go bombard my gamedata folder with mods again

[P1XZL]

Oh and something else completely, what is the best version for modding?

[HebaruSan]

This is just my personal opinion, but I would use 1.12.5 with a compatible version range of 1.10–1.12. Most mods released for that range still work.

I'll try that, one thing tho, I use 1.11.1 now just to try and I see a lot of mods there that I never saw on ckan KSP version 1.12.5

[HebaruSan]

Yeah, if you click that link, it will tell you how to make those mods appear for 1.12.5 as well.

... aaand there's also a bug here. It should be popping this up instead of freezing.

Reopening to fix. (The cause seems to be the usual Winforms threading stuff.)
