If you are experiencing issues when trying to upload or download to Content Hub, please try the following:
- Ensure the Aspera client is up to date, and the only version installed. (the most recent is available here)
-
Clear the Aspera Transfer queue, and make sure it is visible when trying to upload/download (sometimes the confirmation prompt may become hidden behind a web browser).
- (Download Only) Check your Aspera Preferences > Transfers > Download Locations is set to a valid path.
- Quit Aspera, clear the cache and cookies in the Chrome browser, and restart Chrome (the application, not the session).
- Refrain from having the Chrome browser full screen, and try again. Allow Content Hub to open Aspera automatically.
- Restart your computer (as needed).
If you are still experiencing issues after ensuring your Aspera is up to date, you may have an issue with the Aspera setup and permission configurations.
