Cannot download files

See original GitHub issue

Hello Guys, You have an Amazing project, really like it, but I have an issue when I try to download some file from another computer outside my network I receive this response

Dat could not find any connections for that link.
There may not be any sources online.
Run 'dat doctor' if you keep having trouble.

And when I run a dat doctor command I receive

[info] Testing connection to public peer
[error] FAIL - Connection timeout, fail.
[error] FAIL - Connection timeout, fail.
[error] FAIL - Unable to connect to public server.
[error] FAIL - Data was not echoed back from public server.

I’m having this problem as well. On a corporate network so I suspect they have certain things locked down. Not sure if there’s something I can do.

❯ dat doctor
