### Troubleshooting

#### connect.sid

For downloading and listening to the latest Track, your `connect.sid`
needs to be entered in the bottom of the Downloader. It is a cookie that
identifies your Monstercat Account. Here's how to obtain it:

1) Log in on [monstercat.com](https://monstercat.com) and ensure that you have a valid Monstercat Gold subscription
2) Go to your browser cookies and search for `connect.monstercat.com`
[Quick link for Chrome](chrome://settings/cookies/detail?site=connect.monstercat.com)
3) Find the content of `connect.sid`. It is a string starting with `s%3A` and has around 90 characters.
4) Copy that string into the `connect.sid` Textfield at the bottom of the Downloader.

#### Downloader

Sometimes, the cache runs into issues and that may contribute to issues in the Downloader.
Simply disable the cache, restart the application and enable it again.

> If you still have issues - no problem!
> Hit me up on [Discord](https://discord.gg/ZEusvHS) or send Feedback directly from the application!
