Invalid Modpack Location

[Lemonbus]

Hello there! I've recently been trying to make a custom modpack for a few friends and I but I've been having trouble with getting the zip to download at all. I've tried three different links from different websites, all of which all you to directly download the file by clicking on it or otherwise opening it with a browser. So far I've either been hit with the "The Modpack Location you entered is not a valid location." message, or it successfully updates but fails to download when in the launcher. In the Technic Launcher console I can tell that it's not able to fetch the file at least from OneDrive, as the "Tries Remaining" goes down without any other information. So far I've tried direct links from: Google Drive, GitHub (Using a direct link from the "Releases" part of a repo) and OneDrive. I've had my friends test each of the links to ensure there are no permission issues, so I'm not sure what the issue could be. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you in advance!

what's wrong with using Dropbox?

is the link a direct download, with an ?dl=1 at the end?

Each link I tried is a direct download link, as it starts the download immediately after loading the link (not like an ad.fly type way where it loads after a few seconds, it starts the download instantly). As I said, I have confirmed that my links work for people other than myself. I personally don't have a Dropbox but what I've heard from others is that you need pay money to get a direct download link. I can try testing that later today though, I'll post again after.

Nope, you only have to pay for something different these days, direct downloads are still a thing you can do for free. Just be aware of download data limits.
