Feature suggestion: Download only specific mods in repo #224

Closed ShoppyCodes closed 5 years ago

It would be great to be able to select only certain mods to download in a repo. E.g.

You have 3 mods in a repo:

Mod A Mod B Mod C

You wish to only download A and B, so you deselect C and do not download it at all until otherwise selected.

Currently you have to download everything even if you're not going to use it or already have it downloaded in a different name (e.g. mod_C and ModC), creating copies of potentially massive files.

I'm currently downloading over 10GB of duplicate files.

You should use the files provided by the repo if you wish to reuse a folder either copy it over into the new repo folder or use symlinks if the same naming standards arent applied.
