When you've created as many mods as Dante has, it's completely infeasible to manage them as forum attachments -- offsite hosting is necessary. The Solidfiles downloader is a known piece of malware, which most people simply avoid. It might be slightly more convenient for users if Dante would switch to a different filehost (sby uses
box and
mediafire; I'm fond of
mega.nz). However, Dante has
so many files that any migration would require a significant amount of work.
If you're bothered by the malware
and you're willing to help migrate and verify files, then send a PM to Dante and see what he says. Otherwise, just be grateful that he has chosen to share his work with all of us.
