Use case: Easy first troubleshooting step if experiencing issues with a mod, especially if it was originally manually installed or there's reason to suspect that files may be missing/corrupted.

Minor but sharing here in case helpful as data point - it looks like at least one possible error that shows up when using this functionality is super verbose for the amount of time that it appears on screen, and I don't immediately see how to view it again without just pushing the "Redownload & Reinstall" button again. Not looking for resolution of my specific case but sharing the general sequence of events in case helpful re toast duration for dialogues containing error messages.

True, those errors are awful. I'll add custom messages at some point, but it wasn't convenient to do. I figured out a fancy way to do it recently (Dart Zones).

The error should just be 404: Download not found at the given url. or some such.
