Whenever I try joining any server in Doomseeker and it starts downloading the necessary wads, I get some variation of this error before it finishes:

No idea what the problem could be. Anyone know?

My guess is that you don't have permission to write to Program Files.

Can you try setting a different path to download WADs to?
Options > Configure > File Paths > Choose a path.
Then, Options > Configure > WadSeeker > General > Directory where Wadseeker will put WADs into > put the same path there.

Made a directory outside of program files, it's working now, thanks :smile:
