The only problem with the download limit, is if you are clicking a mod, you get to the download section and accidentially click the download link and it starts, you cancel it and lose 1 download for that day. Or if you have a tab open, close the browser, reopen the browser and the download auto starts, losing another download for the day, hehe.
I've had at least 3 accidents of clicking the download link when I shouldn't have. I have no clue how I managed to do that, I am usually very good at controlling my mouse cursor, but it just happened. It might have had something to do with how items are placed when the page is loading, you click some place and the click is generated another place as the page is loaded, due to relocations of objects.

well those things happen but other then a new member who has no mods at all, who is really in need of more then 10 downloads a day or as in your example did you still need more then the 7 downloads you had left?
the limit is 10 because with very rare exceptions its more then the average member would ever need in one day when you download a mod, save it then put it on a disk so you never need to download it again, thats what i usually do. |

I just came up against this, and it is quite frustrating. The time when people are going to want to download most is when they first acquire the game, see a bunch of useful mods like Sober's list and then find they can't actually get it.
Maybe there should be a way to list a mirror alongside the file hosted here, so that someone uploading a mod has the option to put a link to one of the file locker sites. |

Thanks. I've found a few of the mods via Google, but still missing a few. I've got enough to have a play with for now anyway.

i like many other modders upload my mods here as well as another site so there is always more then one option availible to people. unfortunately gamefront is in the habbit of removing uploads that dont get regular downloads so most of my mods were deleted by them from my download page there. all too often its not easy to get a totally free site to host your mods without requiring people join to be able to download or even worse have paid memberships. the places out there that are completely free and easy to access by the public can be hard to find, they just arent that many dependable choices out there. |

Dropbox has a file sharing capability - it provides a link that you can give to people to download a particular file. Maximum file size is 300Mb, and 10Gb a day traffic.

My 2 cents worth of 10 downloads.
I just wanted to weigh in on the 3/10 download limit imposed by this site. Your requirement that I post something, just so that I can d/l an extra few items per day must have a purpose. If it's to foster community it may work for some, but for others it will mean posting something just to gain a few extra downloads. Happily I can voice my distaste at your d/l limits and gain my extra d/l's per day all at the same time. Not sure if that's a win win or not?

Yeah, it's just unreasonable to ask that you come along and introduce yourselves after getting all of these free downloads. Just monsterous.
Sense of entitlement much? |

Just by replying to each mod thread that you downloaded and saying thanks is a super easy way to show support and increase your post count....better than increasing it with angry posts anyway

And, tbh, ppl like you should be immediately cut off from downloads - insulting self-serving people don't deserve the amount of work modders put into making this game awesome. Agree. |
