Do you have cl_allowDownload 1?

If this happens after you have voted for the next map, which you dont have in etmain, this may solve the problem

If not, try change com_hunkmegs , 256 should be enough.

I think that Razjee got it.

 

I was surprised to see that "recursive error", which normally means that a function is calling itself, either directly or indirectly.  A recursive 'loop' must have a way to terminate the 'self-loop' or it will run out of Memory.  The OS or calling program must have a way to stop that runaway code as a last resort..  It looks like, IF Com_hunkmegs (allocated memory for those com-related functions) is too small AND the downloading function just keeps trying to download the file, (even if the Hunk-size is "filled up"), THEN ET stops it, without crashing. 

 

The Client software left some "clues" instead of the OS having to kill it.  It was an "abend", but behaved nicely.  😄
