boozhah Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Nexus should add a preference that will allow a user to share any of his/her downloads, and/or there personal rating of them so other users may look and possibly find some mods they have in common, or may like. there are some upsides to this Greater way to endorse a downloadBetter way to track what people are into downloadingEasier for others to find certain downloads there peers maybe using for certain effects or texturesOwner of the mod can see who rates it up There are some downsides to this People can see what you download (bad if you download something embarrasing)Owner of the mod can see who rates it down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Big downside; site performance. The download history table has about 80 million rows and counting on TESNexus alone. The time it takes to search this table is rather large (ask anyone with a large download history who has Premium Membership). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avetre Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Perhaps there could be a button that allows a user to add a given mod to a public favorites list? That should solve all three of those problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderCrazy Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Hey, I have an idea.How about, on the public list that you are proposing, it only holds up to a certain amount before wiping itself? Should help performance a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddah Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 As the biggest abuser of the site, this would bring it the site to it's knees. The last time I let it load it literally took minutes to complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushkatu Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 It did not load for me(the download history page) with a 2mb internet connection and over 2.500 files downloaded.With a 20mb internet connection it takes a couple of seconds to load 10 to 20. I also think it depends on what PC you have. Both PCs I use are rather slow, at least one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satanslilhelper Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I like the "My Favourite Files" idea mentioned by Avetre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyMilla Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Actually, I would prefer a "Currently used mods" list, something like GameSpot's 'Now playing' list. That's more informative for me than a simple download list. From my own experience, I seldom use all the mods that I download from nexus, and only a selected few have a permanent spot in my load order. However, as my idea would require that either Robin create something like the Curse client (which I never used due to my privacy related paranoia and due my quitting Word of Warcraft as soon as the end-game raid-grind began) or that the users voluntarily sumbit/upload their active mod lists manually or by exporting their load order from FOMM, I think my idea is stillborn.

ub3rman123 Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 How about just giving people a textbox to type in their favorite mods, link if they want? That'd lessen load times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
