How do I download files on the Fallout 3 nexus website

[corrlate]

Call me stupid but please tell me, it gives me information about the mod, even tells me how many people downloaded it. But it doesn't give me the option to anywhere on the page. You guys seem to know how, so how?

Click the "Files" tab and then click the name of the mod and a box will appear asking you to choose the server closest to you to download from.

This picture is from the Oblivion side, but the download is exactly the same.

 

Here is the location of the download

And here is a view of the file to download

It was done this way because there may be more than one file that can be downloaded, such as a OMOD ready version, a zipped .esp version or anything else.

Also you know, you can stagger downloads and run 2-3 at one time while you are surfing. The trick is probably picking different servers one for one server an one for another, but it really doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is that you can start downloading an then move on an keep surfing.

 

Then Keep all your downloads in a folder which you created named downloads. Mind you, not on the desktop, somewhere on the harddrive. Don't delete them after you are done, because you might need them later, or might decide to start over an re-install, or even might need the read me because you need to know how to use the stuff. The key is that it's just like making a mod, inside your download folder you created other folders like armor, vaults, weapons, food, ect this way everything is broken down into groups so that you are not looking thru a list of 200 files for one thing.

 

 

Then a mod which is large like 100-200 Mb is going to take a while, so wait till you run upstairs to watch TV before you start downloading it.
