Trouble Accessing Data Through arweave.net?

If a file will not load through arweave.net, the fastest way to narrow it down is to request the same identifier from a different public Arweave gateway. That tells you whether the data itself is unavailable or whether one gateway is having trouble serving it.

arweave.net is a public gateway run independently of ArDrive and Turbo. We cannot change how it behaves or re-seed data there, but we can help you make sense of what the gateways are returning.

What to do

  1. Confirm the upload finished and the transaction or data item is finalized. A block explorer is the quickest way to check this.

  2. Copy one affected transaction ID or data-item ID.

  3. Load that identifier through another public Arweave gateway.

  4. Compare what each gateway returns.

What the results mean

  • It loads through another gateway but not through arweave.net: The data is there, so the issue is with how that gateway is serving or indexing it. Contact the gateway operator through the Arweave Discord.

  • It fails through every gateway: This points to transaction confirmation, upload processing, or data availability rather than a single gateway. Visit our contact page with one identifier and ArDrive or Turbo support can help.

  • The transaction never finalized or the upload failed: Confirm the status on a block explorer, then start with File Upload Issues And Workarounds and follow the steps for the service you uploaded with.

What to include if you contact us

  • One affected transaction ID or data-item ID

  • The gateway URLs you tested

  • The HTTP status or error you saw from each gateway

  • Whether the upload is finalized

  • Roughly when the problem started
