Nono, i'm downloading files with downloadFile and i want to check progress, is there a way i can do this? (Of the file individually)

fileGetSize

fileGetSize 

you need to open the file with fileOpen -- This works with text files only i belive.

Okay, nevermind, its working, but the randomly (normaly at 2nd or 3rd file), the download gets fucked up and fileOpen starts giving up errors.

Why is this?

  
  
local fileDownload = 0 
local endingFile = 17 
local fileName = "" 
addEventHandler('onClientResourceStart',resourceRoot, function() 
local file = fileOpen("wheelDownload.txt") 
if file then 
    local size = fileGetSize(file) 
    local txt = fileRead(file,size) 
    if txt == "true" then 
    else 
    downloadFile("wheels/"..wheels[1].name..".dff") 
    fileName = wheels[1].name 
    fileDownload = 1 
    addEventHandler('onClientRender',root,drawLoad) 
    end 
else 
    downloadFile("wheels/"..wheels[1].name..".dff") 
    fileName = wheels[1].name 
    fileDownload = 1 
    addEventHandler('onClientRender',root,drawLoad) 
end 
end) 
  
local x,y = guiGetScreenSize() 
function drawLoad() 
dxDrawText("Downloading File: "..fileName..".dff", x*0.4,y*0.5,x*0.5,y*0.6,tocolor(255,255,255,255), 1.5, "default") 
local p = fileDownload/endingFile * (x*0.2) 
local file = fileOpen("wheels/"..fileName..".dff",true) 
if file then 
local size =fileGetSize(file) 
local size = math.floor(size/1000) 
outputConsole(size .. " / "..wheels[fileDownload].size) 
local psize = (size / wheels[fileDownload].size) * (x*0.2) 
dxDrawRectangle( x*0.4,y*0.55,psize,y*0.025,tocolor(0,0,0,255)) 
end 
dxDrawRectangle( x*0.4,y*0.6,p,y*0.025,tocolor(0,0,0,255)) 
end 
  
addEventHandler('onClientFileDownloadComplete',root,function(file,result) 
    if result then 
        fileDownload = fileDownload + 1 
            if fileDownload > 17 then 
            removeEventHandler('onClientRender',root, drawLoad) 
            local file = fileCreate("wheelDownload.txt") 
            fileWrite(file, "true") 
            fileClose(file) 
            return 
            end 
        downloadFile("wheels/"..wheels[fileDownload].name..".dff") 
        outputConsole(fileDownload) 
        fileName = wheels[fileDownload].name 
    else 
    downloadFile("wheels/"..wheels[fileDownload].name..".dff") 
    end 
end)

It's because you're getting the file size and handling maths inside of the handler.

not sure but multiple times using fileOpen on same file without closing can also cause issues with fileOpen(but i don't know if this is issue with your script)

Of course it would probably cause problems, because you're not supposed to open the same file without closing it.

Happy new year btw
