Not sure when or what update made this a thing, but I went to mess with my mods for the first time in months, and there's this big, ugly, semi-transparent bar sitting right on top of my mods list, with a button in the middle that says "get more mods", as if I had any trouble finding mods. I can't find anything in the settings to make it go away. If this is intentional, then why? FFS, this ain't Staples. People using Vortex don't need a easy button sitting in the middle of their display to mash because they couldn't figure out how to get to Nexus to download more mods.

Thanks. I had no idea Vortex was Chrome-based, which explains everything.

I'm not so much looking for a way to fix it as just wondering why. I went to bed around the time I posted that, and when I came back, it was taking up 30GB in memory, although it did finish downloading my mods without any issues. It seems strange that it would (I'm guessing) allocate space for all downloaded files to RAM even for inactive or queued downloads, and then continue holding all that RAM even after the download has long since been written to HDD. As you guys have said, I can download the same files through my browser, and it'll never come close to taking up 30GB of RAM. Is this some kind of redundancy, or just a glitch in how Vortex uses memory?

I'm downloading some really large mods ATM, but no mods are actually being installed right now. The only one currently downloading is about 2.5GB, but I have some other in the pipe that are even larger. BTW, it's still going up. At the current rate of increase, it should be enough to crash my PC within a couple of hours.
