Currently downloading everything to MO2 and setting to not check for updates huehuehue
People gonna see torrents for a "preset packages" of Skyrim mods
As an outsider to Bethesda modding, given how difficult it looks, I'm surprised to hear this isn't already a thing.
Modding community will never allow it, when Nexus allowed people to keep downloading old mods a bunch of authors decried it since they wanted the ability to remove a mod from the internet forever. It was 'theirs' (even though it's just modified Bethesda data)
well wabbajack works with nexus (You just buy one month for autodownloads) but I guess that'll have to change

Ok, so what is the current alternative nice option for SkyrimSE mods?
Preferably one with a mod manager/download client. Vortex is kind of janky but it did the job. I'd prefer not to manage any of this stuff manually, like cavemen. it's been decades you shouldn't need to do that

MO2 can do anything Vortex can, and in fact, Stalker and Stalker 2 modders prefer it. The files just need to be hosted elsewhere. A lot of modmakers advise against using Vortex to begin with.

I miss FilePlanet. That's where I got my first Morrowind mods many years ago
At least GameBanana still exists, though there aren't as many uploads there as Nexus. Still good that there's an alternative

Fuck Nexus Mods. You already need an account to download anything.
Well, unless someone makes an alternative, people are going to use it.
They do need to provide a lot of bandwidth, which isn't free, though I wonder how viable it'd be for someone to create a Nexus-like Website using magnet URLs and BitTorrent as a backend.
Maybe too much of a technical bar to attract users.
There are JS based torrent downloaders. That would work for the normies to get files, but you'd still have to find a way to convince people to host files on the backend. It'd probably take a full-on desktop client wrapper with an embedded torrent client but that's a pretty hard sell for the average nerd if you're upfront, and probably a harder sell if you're dishonest about it.

Obviously they will. Years down the road. 🤗
I have a bridge to sell anyone who believes that.
Time to cancel the paid subscription for fast download i guess.
Nexus Mods is far too late on the monetization aspect. The restrictions placed on mod downloading sucks, and it hard pushes buying a membership. Not to mention they basically gave up on vortex and its a buggy mess even if you run it native.

sure buddy, unfortunately they done that already. I especially love the 3 mbps cap on downloads with free accounts.
File a lawsuit. Paying customers are supposed to do that if they were given an explanation but in bad-faith language.
Hahaha yea right… give it 6-12 months and that will change
I wish I could say this surprised me, but I’ve kind of been expecting this for awhile. They’ve been slowly getting worse for years, it went from just a hobby project to a corporation.
