i don't like the per download suggestion maybe a subscription system like X amount of dollars a month gets you Y amount of downloads a day/week.
the trouble with subscriptions is once you get your downloads you dont often need much anymore so the average user gets 20-30 downloads when starting out then "maybe" only need or want 2-5 downloads a year after that.


the system we have works great its just that a new member who needs or wants those 20-30 mods has to do it over 2 or 3 days and if thats asking too much of them then i think they are asking a bit much from a completely free to use service thats neal spends his money, time, and effort to provide to our members.


a bit of looking a gift horse in the mouth i think

Any idiot who gets a free horse checks the teeth... the horse didn't come free for no reason, obviously?

Not saying I wouldn't want a horse with bad teeth, it just means that it isn't as useful as one with good teeth.

I've waited years for this game (SH5) to be playable, I can easily wait a few more days or even a week.
