Something wrong with Patreon's attachments

Edit: Patreon Support contacted me last night to let me know the issue was fixed. As far as I could tell, it is. But please let me know if you have issues downloading something.

Hello, friends.

Two subscribers let me know about a few posts which had missing files/attachments. When you click them it only shows a blank screen with the error message "not found". I thought this was a small issue but I now see that quite a lot of my posts are behaving like this. Even very recent ones.

I deeply regret that this is happening and apologize for the inconvenience. Patreon had an outage a few days ago and was offline for a while, I believe it has something to to with that. I can replace the files because I have a backup of everything here. No problem there, except for the fact that it will take a LONG time to do it. Assuming this is just a database error or something like that, I have sent a ticket to Patreon support. Maybe the issue can be fixed from their end. If they cannot do anything, I'll reupload the files.

I apologize for the inconvenience, especially for new subscribers who may not have downloaded a lot yet.

P.D. I'm compiling a list of posts with this problem, let me know if you detect a post which you can't download the maps.
