I have a mirror of the files
if you want you could include that as an alternative
yeah that'll work
OP, do this:
actually you know what else OP could do? include that list in this add-on so it never has to download that stuff - it would compress well too
by doing this you make it so mirrors can be deployed, but the list of files is never blocked - it's included with the mod, if they can't get the mod they can't get jack stuff anyway.
then have a "mirrors" option - swollow's mirror and lugnut's mirror, they'll both have the same file structure so you're just modifying the webaddress
i'm not gonna make a bullstuff API, but the filenames are going to be exactly the same - include the list of file names inside the add-on, then just pull specific add-ons depending on which mirror is selected
this is not loving hard and can work very well
