p3r mods hang when downloading then crash when cancelled

[deadlyfrank778-lang]

my reloaded II went from letting me download mods perfectly fine to hanging the instant i attempt to download any mod(and no new mods had initialized in between)
tried updating it, killing it with task manager, even restarting my computer, but it still dies(and the game loads perfectly fine, somehow)
haven't tried it with p4g or p5r mods yet but it'll probably act the same way
below is a relevant crash report i can make no sense of because of the fact i'm stupid

Have you tried manually downloading in web browser?
Sometimes GameBanana servers struggle, and this surfaces as errors on Reloaded side, even if I have retries in place.
