Comment on Nexus Mods Sale Sparks Concern in Modding Community

Also, it could use a modding app with BitTorrent-like functionality, so that downloaders could share their copies as well.

So…old mods would eventually die because of zero seeders. It’s a fact of life that this would happen

I wonder if this could be solved on protocol level, i.e. automatically preserve objects with least redundancy, as known to the server.
Like if federated servers hold 50 copies of a file, it’s likely not worthy of saving, but if there is only 1 or 2, it must be stored.
