    I think it was only after you have incomplete downloads (like, if you sat in the save preview and the thumbnails from the search you did were never fetched), and then waited 20 seconds for the downloadmanager thread to shut down. The downloads were never canceled or completed by the main thread that started the download. So when you exit the game it tries to cancel them and clean up any data. It was calling the Cancel() function on each remaining download, which would deadlock every time

    jacob2: at what particular time would it occur?

    (continued) when I put the extra thread safety back in my mod I missed a line. If you exited at a certain time it would go past two threading locks and then attempt to use the lock again. It just waiting forever for the lock to be released. Not sure how much you know about threading, buy try not to have any deadlocks (:

    DoritosTaco: hmm? You want to use lua with Java? Or just learn both lua and Java? I know lua has an official tutorial, is pretty short because lua is so simple. PortalPlayer: it was a deadlock. My mod has a thread running which handles all the downloads. I recently ported it to TPT++ to "fix" the crash when opening saves (old code was terrible and unsafe, it was easier to replace it all since my mod already had it). I made it a little more thread safe for tpt++ despite it not being necessary.

    jacob1: yeah, in Windows I had to alt+tab out and close it externally.

    DoritosTaco: use lua for that :), lua is so powerful you can do almost anything. PortalPlayer: lol. On linux I had to manually kill it ):. I did think it was weird that nobody reported the bug. MrCube1337: thanks :D
