Homebrew [Release] freeShop - open source eShop alternative

[Joom]

Hi, does freeshop download directly from nintendo servers or are the CIAs saved somewhere on a private server?

They're downloaded from Nintendo's CDN.

They're downloaded from Nintendo's CDN.

Does that mean there is no need to follow this guide:
http://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial...-tickets-for-eshop-downloads-per-game.426478/

as both methods (using CIAngel to get the good tickets and then downloading from eshop directly vs freeshop download) will download from the same source? not sure what CDN means heh.

CDN = content delivery network; a dedicated server specifically used for delivering content. In my opinion, freeShop is much more convenient, but it really doesn't matter since they both essentially achieve the same goal.

So is there a way to make the games downloaded from freeshop show up on my legit eshop as purchased to be able to "own" it on my account?

It already does this by installing the title's ticket. Though the game won't be tied to your account.

the only way to count it as a "legit" purchase on your account server-side is to purchase the game.

Did you just format the card or did you format your NAND as well?

I'm having major issues with freeshop on one of my 3ds. I download about 10gb worth of stuff today with it and it was fine. After about that much though is refuses to download anything. It goes through getting tickets and tmd then it just sits at the download screen and keeps retrying. I thought it might be a network issue but I used my other 3ds to access freeshop and download games just fine. It did freeze on a download of a game. Are there some temp files or something I need to delete? Very confused as of now. Also my SD card is nowhere near full I have about 100gb free.

Um you have a 128gb card where did you buy it? It may be fake

 

[vvvwwww]

I bought a samsung evo from best buy I really doubt it is fake. Also I just retried the download and it is working now but EXTREMELY slow at 43kbps while my other 3ds right next to it downloading the same game is download it at nearly 1000kbps

edit: download got too slow and went back to retrying... other 3ds is still downloading normally

If the speed dips down too low, it can mistakenly think it's timed out and retry (usually if it gets close to 25 Kb/s. I added download configuration for people that have a slow connection for whatever reason.

Go to download settings and change buffer size to 64 KB and change timeout value to max (I think 12s), then retry the download. Those values should be good for you. You don't have to start from the beginning to retry just restart freeShop and it should pick up where it left off (unless it crashes or something).

I ended up trying another title (kid icarus) and it is working normally again, however when I try to redownload the game that I cancelled (fantasy life) it does the same error even with the download configuration set to your specs. Is there maybe an old file or something I need to delete? Thanks for your help

edit: the download slowed back down to like 50 kbps and keeps stalling, ran a speedtest just to make sure my internet was fine and it is. Downloaded another game with the other 3ds normally (800-1300kbps) and easily however the other one maxes at around 180kbps and is steadily at 60kbps. Is there some sort of cap on how much you can download in a day or something?

I haven't tried downloading two games at the same time with same IP, the CDN could be limiting you. I don't think there's much more you can do. You could lower buffer size even more in settings and restart freeShop again, but when it's too low is lowers the max speed you can achieve, and if it's a server-side limit then that's not the proper fix anyways.

Try to update LUMA3DS with LumaUpdater, or manually, but don't use StarUpdater (yeah, that's weird, but if i update with starUpdater, i have that issue too).
