Suggestion: Make the site entirely free to use again by removing the download speed cap for free users.
I honestly don't understand how the decision to give free users an EXTREMELY slow download speed didn't kill the website and the community. For those that I knew from back in the day (including myself) Nexus Mods is already Dead. Bring back the good old days and offer good incentives for premium not extremely scummy incentives.
Yeah limited download speed for those that block ads. But free users who don't block ads? Keep it unlimited. Have some dignity...
I am downloading a mod for ME2 LE. 4GB download and I am capped at 1.5mb/s even though I have ads on. It has taken 20 minutes so far to download this mod and it says I still have another 30 minutes. This isn't making me want to buy premium. This is making me want to find a way to completely get around the download speed problem by using scripts. It makes me never want to come back to this website ever again. And it makes me not want to upload any mods I make to this website. And sooner or later other users (that don't have lifetime premium) will wake up and see this too and how scummy of a practice this is.
It is expensive to run a website. I know. But there are better non-scummy ways to make the money to pay for it. And limiting download speed FOR A MOD WEBSITE just shows how little you care about the community that keeps your bills paid.
I do hope that this site gets fixed eventually. But until then I won't be coming back. I will be using other sites such as CurseForge to get my mods when available.
