Ah man, I'd been holding off on setting up another TES game on my PC since going to Linux. Now I'm going to have to go pre-emptive mod shopping for the essentials, and do it for so many games!

It's a real shame that between crypto currencies, federated servers, and bittorrent we still haven't come up with a fair and robust system for hosting large content archives.

The need for corporate-funded servers is killing video sites, mod sites, emulators, streaming, libraries, and so much more. Even the "self-hosted" crowd is like 90% dependent on cloud-hosting companies.
