Less passive-agressive app promotion in beta website when manually downloading files

Testing out the beta website, while it has it's nice improvements from the old website layout, the "You're Still Downloading Manually??" splash that comes up when downloading files manually comes off as passive-agressive and judgy, and makes me want to use the app and even the website less. A slightly different phrase when promoting the app for people manually downloading files or not having that splash at all would be a marked improvement for user experience, I feel.

      Literally signed up to either submit this idea or vote for it if it was already here.

      I do have Curseforge installed but for some games (like The Sims 4) I just don't feel that Curseforge is ideal for all the downloading and maintenance and I'd rather do it manually, you know?

      And having 'Still downloading MANUALLY?' kind of seems like I'm being mocked for doing it in a way that is good for my sanity.
