Make the download button exposed (not hidden behind install)
This is just annoying how when you want to download a mod, you have to click the tiny arrow to get the .jar download button to show up. It would be far more convenient if they were equally spaced and obvious, seeing how much space there is around the button. It would be far quicker for people who would rather not install the mod through the app, and makes plain sense from a user friendly standpoint

Give people the option to use or not use your loader

No to the new website
Merged I intensely dislike your new website. It's clearly not for plugins for games, its designed to force you into downloading the installer as nearly every download button directs you to the installer not to the plugin. This is a terrible user experien...0 Future consideration

Make it easy to download the mod without the program again
Merged I get that you're pushing the app, but we don't want it. We want the download button side-by-side with "install with CurseForge" again. I don't need or want that program to copy files over when it introduces more issues than it solves.0 Future consideration

Default manual download
Merged Probably a lot of people who don't use the app needs to always click the little arrow and for me that can get annoying, you can't just force them to use the app if they don't know how to download manually.0 Future consideration

Stop hiding download button behind an aditional button
Merged There is a place for two buttons in here. But the site hides one button behind another, with no other real purpose but to force more people into using your Curseforge app by artificially making the site less convinient to use.0 Future consideration

Don't hide download file behind "install app" button, if we don't want the app then we don't want the app
Merged It is making it tedious to download files without downloading your app. Don't make it this way it's disgusting and only pushes people away from using your service overall. Just make your things so good that people will want to download it, instead...0 Future consideration

do not hide the download button for mod files behind an additional dropdown

The "Download" button should stay as a separate button instead of being a dropdown menu

Instead of a down context menu for downloading, put two of them next to each other.

historically this was a thing and they removed it, so sadly I doubt it will be added back.
yea if you want keep the "install button but put near it anywhere the download button it's annoying
Still not a thing in the new beta? Wow, looks like they really want us to use their app so badly? Never gonna happen. Not with such attitude
