Nexus mods faster download

After installing an extension of your choice, you can go to the install link and well.. This new update makes getting the link for manual downloads a lot faster, courtesy of nexus staff. The script should also now work fine for premium users, if for some reason you're using this. Basically what the script does behind the scenes is simply request the page the button would lead you to and grab the real download link for you, practically bypassing it for the user.

The script is in the end a roundabout way to bypass the redirect. The actual speed will depend on your connection and latency to the nexusmods servers among other factors. Sometimes preparing a download will take 5 seconds regardless. Still, you will skip the annoying redirects. NOTE: If you are a premium user this script probably won't work for you.

As you might have imagined, I'm not premium so I can't really check to know for sure. Skip to content. Star Userscript to fix the dumb new nexusmods update 68 stars 1 fork. Branches Tags.

By limiting the speeds, we ensure that our expenses remain linked to the number of users who use our site and not the connection speeds of our user base.

As a result, it's far easier to budget our bandwidth bills based on our active user base because more users typically means more ad revenue which means the increased bandwidth costs will be offset by the increased advertising income. If we didn't cap our downloads we could not budget in the same way. If you're reading this, you've cost us money.

To keep this site running we need to pay a very hefty price. From direct expenses, like the servers and bandwidth that are used to serve the page content to you, to more indirect but equally important expenses like our office space, the staff that maintain and improve the site, the hardware we work on, software license fees, HR, payroll, legal fees, insurance and so on and so forth. All of these expenses need to be accounted for in order to keep these sites up and running well.

If you'd like a full breakdown of what Nexus Mods needs money for, we've dedicated an entire page of the site to an infographic that puts it all in to easy to read data points. You can see that page here. In this age of Adblockers, we believe that the users who financially support the site should be rewarded for their help. Whether by directly donating towards the site by buying Premium Memberships or simply by choosing to not use an Adblocker while browsing the site, these users are the ones who help to keep the site up and fully operational.

Without them, Nexus Mods would simply cease to exist. We believe the help they provide, consciously or unconsciously, should be incentivised and rewarded. On the flip side, we do not want to punish users who want to use Adblockers but do not financially contribute to the running of the site. There are myriad different reasons why users choose to use Adblockers, and a lot of them are perfectly valid.

For these users, their experience is not changing at all. They'll still be able to browse the site and receive the exact same experience as they always have done in the past.

In conclusion, we like to reward users who contribute financially to the running of the site, but not punish users who use Adblockers. Speed caps Premium Members who have financially supported Nexus Mods are able to download without a speed cap as they are directly supporting the upkeep of the sites.
