Hi,

First sorry for my bad english.
Second, someone know what happen on desura or in my desura's client? I have two news games to install but, always when I tried install it desura's client tell me the next error:

Desura's wrote: Failed to download MCF Header from Eu12.dl.desura.com:62003: Error (ftp://eu12.dl.desura.com:62003/mcf) [couldn't connect to host] [58.7]


I tried reboot my pc.
I tried desura's client in windows and linux (always the same error).
I tried force update the client, but the error still here.
I tried find something in google, but I found nothing related with this problem

If anyone could help me I'll be grateful. Thanks!

PS: The error happens when the desura's client was in the validation process.

I get exactly the same error, whatever game I try to install.
Anyone got an answer?

Me too.. I'm so dissapointed because I want to play desura for the first time but even months ago it said this..

The error that happens to me, it's not fault from desura's client. My internet connection is restricted by the admin so I couldn't use the desura's client in my network, but I can download the games from desura website.

Sorry guys! Desura's client doesn't work in all networks.

I think that you have to allow Desura through your firewall to install games. And that's where I get stuck.

Hey guys make sure you allow Desura through your firewall/antivirus program and open up the port 63200. Let me know if you still have issues with this.

I STILL HAVE THIS ISSUE, but how do i open port 63002? haven't tried that yet

Ok, sorry. I almost forgot this thread. You're right, the problem was an unknown firewall in the network. I solve my problem.Thanks to all
And "thisisnttoasty", check your pc or router firewall. If you can not solve the problem, ask to you ISP or talk with your network administrator.

The easyest way around this is to download the gams/mods with your web browser.

Thanks nezumiwriter for putting me onto this very easy fix.
