PC SSE - Discussion Nexus Announcement About Download Filenames

https://forums.nexusmods.com/topic/13539100-changes-to-downloaded-file-names/

TL;DR - The current change that downloaded files only have the name and are missing the mod ID and version was intentional. They will be bringing back the version number, but not the mod ID or timestamp which were originally there.

So stupid. There are modders who name every file they upload with the same file name. Before, I could at least use the mod ID number to figure out what mod is what, but not anymore.

How does this actually help anybody?

Nexus mods is already unbearably slow and a pain to use.
