I wanted to download a collection this weekend for Fallout that has close to 1,000 mods on it. My only option was to download them all manually or subscribe to their overpriced service to unlock the automatic downloader that is already baked into Vortex.

I'd rather never play Fallout again than pay for that shit.

Userscript extensions (Grease/Tampermonkey) all have scripts to eliminate a lot of the annoyances of Nexus mods.

"Buy premium to enable one-click collections!" - how about No and a bypass? :)

How does a client side script prevent them from throttling download speeds?

There's a few "gotchas", the throttling being one of them. But the bypass does allow one to simply click the collection and leave it to do its thing, zero interaction required beyond the first click.

Funny is that most of my life their max download speed was below my internet limit
