There's also the issue that with games that do work, the Downloader is cripplingly slow at showing the menu. It takes anywhere between 5 to 10 minutes, or sometimes even longer or it doesn't load at all. The way this can be handled is by, instead of loading the entire available mods list from GameBanana, load it chunk wise, always only by like 10 or so. That way, the system won't be overloaded, and it will actually show mods as well. A good example of this is when I go into Pokémon Legends: Arceus. It simply takes forever to load and so I just give up and to it manually.
