Download limit

What's your opinion on the download limit? Personally it's driving me nuts.
Especially when trying to download the complete list of mods from sober.

Bandwidth costs money and if every member of the community (currently over 76,000) had unlimited download capability/capacity the costs would be astronomical.

The current limit applies to us all and is fair IMHO.....the alternative would be to charge for each download and I don't think many if any of us would like to see that come about.

Aside from Sober's already sorted mod list, if you could just grab 20 or 30 mods and chuck them all on your PC you're heading for bad mod soup, a few a day gives you ample opportunity to check they work well together.

Once you've got them, back them up on to DVDs or external drive so should the worst happen to your install you don't have to wait again.

Considering the fact that they are free, yeah, it's fair.
