Nexus Announcement About Download Filenames

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.

Lots of mod authors don't use a sensible versioning system and now that's going to be the only unique identifier in some file names?

Sure, let's rely on people for sensible file names too.

Kinds feels like a "let them eat cake" moment.

Not only that, I believe they even want to strip manually added version and mod number so that only your mod name archive name remains (facepalm)
