"bad header lead due to a read buffer overflow" What does this mean?

What does this mean? I'm using TMODLoader and it said this while trying to download the Calamity Mod.

Have you made sure you PROPERLY installed tModLoader and you're not using an outdated version of it?

I found the solution. this happens when your mod lists are not identical

Do you mind expanding on this? I am having the same problem and don't fully understand what you mean

Say you join a modded server. The server host has selected a list of mods to be active on said server. If you have additional mods enabled or you have any of the necessary mods disabled it will produce this error, your list of enabled mods needs to match exactly

I believe this error happens when one of your mods "corrupts", essentially, at least that's what I've encountered the error through. You should be able to solve it by unsubscribing to the faulty mod's workshop page, and then instead downloading it through the in-game mod browser. I believe this happens due to Tmodloader trying to automatically download mods that one may be missing when joining a server, however these "corrupted" mods are in a weird purgatorial state of being both installed and not at the same time (at least I think so, I'm not sure as I don't have much experience with modding and the likes), so Tmodloader gets confused and produces the error.

Thanks a lot! I had a similar problem with losing connection and resubscribing to mods helped solve it!

I got this in vanilla though... In a Get Fixed Boi playthrough. Multiplayer as client on a friend's server. We're past wall of flesh. I had been in the server for a good while already. I tabbed in and out a few times to check discord messages when this popped up.
