Downloading and file serving changes

[downhill]

Maybe there should be an option for big mods to add there own download servers? So if it is several 100 MB, a little poke if they could get a bit of the bandwidth themselves? But another thing.. I'm wondering why there isn't the old search option still there? Searching for mods on nexus is done easier by google than on the site itself, I don't think that's good advertisement? I never really looked in the NMM code, so I don't know how much work it would be, but a nice "update" button if some mods have new versions would be nice.

Just thought I'd say that I *always* "download manually"...;) It's so easy to do I've never thought about doing it another way...! Thanks again for a great group of sites!

@daemoniclord: it seems that youve fallen prey to the common misconception the ESO is TES 6. theyre quite different amigo. There will be a separate Elder Scrolls game like all of the previous titles (ie TES 1-5) and then there will also be the Elder Scrolls Online.
I do agree that it is unlikely that ESO will be modable, but TES 6 definitely will.

I also apologize if that sounded condescending or rude in any way. im just trying to help inform

@downhill; I think you're referring to the Advanced Search functions on the mods sites. Click the "Files" button at the top of the page and a detailed set of search criteria and sort options appears on the middle-right. :thumbsup:

' Drag the file in to the "mods" window in NMM. '

Doesen't seem to work for me, but draging files to a shortcut does for me, but only one file at a time. It would be nice if we could add more files at once.

I also found a rather annoying thing when using custom categories and adding files manually (not sure if it would happen when downloading with NMM, I usually don't do that):

NMM randomly assignes categories to files I add, so when I don't categorize them while adding them, I have to search for them using the classic view (forcing everything in unassigned would greatly help there, I think).

 

I posted that on the Beta-feedback forums already, but with how many people post there things can go unnoticed easily.

The whole matter of downloading, manually or with NMM, has become a complete nightmare for me. I know the connection on my end is fine, but it's gotten to a point where I can't download anything at all. No problems uploading when it comes to images, but I can forget about downloading mods. I suppose I'm just going to have to wait it out and pray that one day the servers won't be in utter shambles.

I never use the 'drag and drop' method to add mods because I have an irrational distrust of such features. However the 'Add Mod from File' button works flawlessly and automatically syncs the mod info from the Nexus as long as you don't change the file name. I've said it before and I'll say it again, keep up the great work guys, the Nexus is still the best at what it does in my book. Edited January 11, 2014 by Sixdd
