    Hi,
    When ever I try to download a mod it downloads for sometime then stops at the middle and says:
    "Repo Error
    Could not download the file
    (Check console for details)"
    Then there is a Loading Circle

    And in C:\Users\*****\Documents\BeamNG.drive\mods
    there is a file called "db.json" with a size around 1KB
    and there is a empty folder called "repo"
    When downloading the mod, there is no change made the the "mods" Folder and/or the "repo" Folder andthe "db.json"

    Two things could be happening:
    1. Your connection is unstable, and the download is interrupting / failing.
    2. Something is blocking the game from saving the mods it is downloading. In this case please check your Antivirus and anything similar you might have. This list is a good start: https://wiki.beamng.com/Incompatible_Third_Party_Software

    most of the large size mods (e.g 1.2GB) have this error but most of the small size mods don't
    And Turning off the antivirus did not work
    Is there a way to download through Chrome or somewhere other than BeamNG directly?

    Yes, the orange 'Download' button visible on any mod's page on the repository:
