Lately I've been playing a lot of Planetside 2. I'm not very good at it (and won't be for a while, thanks to the grind) but there is NOTHING like watching a battle with 120 people in tanks, fighters, and stuff going at each other. Puts SW:Battlefront to shame, really.
I've also been playing some Rocket League, just when I have a spare 20min as opposed to the 1.5hr+ stretches where I can zone out and shoot things.

We all are sad about kerbalstuff.com shutting down. I am making an alternative to all game mod websites. Get ready 4 fun!
What makes your version better? From reading your old thread, you intend to make a repository for all games. Doesn't that exist already, a la CurseForge? (Which is a perfectly okay mod repository, by the way.)
Another problem I have is you seem to assume three things, all of which are incorrect:
1. There is no current, well-liked solution for mod hosting available. (There is, see @kcs123's post above)
2. Mod authors will trust you, a newbie on the KSP forums with no apparent experience who doesn't appear to know much if anything about the community and could leave, to host their mods.
3. People will leave SpaceDock and come to your site, when you have not (yet) given them a reason to do so.
I also have concern about hosting. From @SirCmpwn's farewell letter, bandwidth and hosting costs reached over $100 a month, and will no doubt grow over time. How do you intend to pay for this? This isn't the kind of operation you'll be running in the background on your desktop. File hosting is brutal bandwidth-wise, and you'll also need to store about 75GB (and counting) of mods, to say nothing of images etc.
Can you also give us some info on what the site will be like, besides "get ready 4 fun?" Will there be ads? Who will maintain it? Will there be an email notification system? Also, what's it going to be called?

Wait. What, exactly, are you doing when you copy over the file. Can you also take a screenshot of the error message you get? (use F1, or Fn-F1 on a mac, it will appear in your "Screenshots" folder in the KSP directory. Then upload it to a file-sharing site like imgur and paste the image link.)

Awesome. Does look like it needs a bit of work-if you view the cutaway at an angle, other parts should occlude it. Otherwise it looks sloppy.

There should be a logic check to make sure the script waits for the download to finish. Probably the simplest way would be to check the folder size and if there was no change for more than a few minutes, it goes ahead and moves the files.
Alright, thanks a lot! I'll try that out once I get back to my desk.

How will you respond to the egg thrown at you yesterday?
I think that eggs are certainly a major problem in America today. We need to put a stop to illegal immigreggtion. *Mumbles something about arming border patrol agents with electric mixers*
Q: How do you think your recent remarks regarding banning bacon from entering the country have affected your standing in the polls?

I'm actually a double agent! This is a sting operation! I'm working with you! Oh, the nuclear-powered rocket? Erm, it's not nuclear powered... Here, take a look at it. I'll give you your privacy. Look, this super-heavy door is to give you all the privacy you need!
You are pulled over in an airliner with a key labeled "Cockpit," a smartphone, and a book titled "How To Fly A Plane."

A: Well, our engineers have actually dug up some ancient technology codenamed End Flight. This will bring great prosperity to the fields of grass currently covered by debris!
Q: How will you contain the fallout from the use of this new technology?

Kerbin is a flat disk, centered on the KSC! That's why planes roll down the runway with no propulsion; they're attracted by the gravity generator at the center!

Use it.

@Tex_NL is correct. Currently the only versions of the game are for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Versions for consoles will be released eventually. (As in, we basically have no idea besides "sometime before the Earth is incinerated due to expansion of the sun.") Do you have a computer? KSP is not a very demanding game, especially on low settings. Most computers more advanced than a Chromebook can probably run it, if badly.

AutoHotkey can do that quite easily.

You'll need to write some simple logic to decide when to move the files (so they get moved only after the download is complete).
That seems like it would work... However, what exactly is AutoHotKey, and how would I use it?

Can you provide evidence that the system continuously or on average pulls 350 watts? The overwhelming majority of even enthusiast systems out there simply do not.
I meant at load. I haven't directly measured it at the wall mainly because watt meters are super expensive but I've used some PSU calculators.

Keep your GameData folder in dropbox. That lets you straight out install a mod from somewhere else. It's been a long time since I've used dropbox, so I don't know how easy it is to configure it to use multiple folders like that. But worst case you can use symbolic links to achieve this.
I was thinking of doing that, but my Dropbox doesn't have enough storage to sync everything.

Sadly, the job of policing of spelling has been eliminated by technology and automation...
Also autocorrect.

600 watts is well beyond what most systems actually use nowadays. Even ridiculous computers tend to use a lot less.
While I agree with your first statement, "ridiculous computers" can use a whole lot of power. My computer, a (relatively) modest build with a GTX 960 and 6600K, pulls about 350 watts, with only the CPU overclocked. If you were to ramp up your OC or get a high-end GPU (or two) you could find yourself easily pushing 600W. LinusTechTips built an absolutely stupid system with 7 GPUs and a 28-core Xeon and power draw was in the region of 1530 watts. Obviously somewhat of an edge case, though.
