If you are doing any downloads (especially torrents) you should be using a VPN.

1. Your ISP will usually send a letter telling you to stop, in some cases they’ve been known to cut peoples service.
2. Free vpns sell your data and usually have caps, but would probably prevent you from getting letters in the mail.
3. What is cheaper? A vpn account or paying for 2-3 streaming services?
4. I use a nordvpn account I bought from a reseller. Back when I got it nordvpn was still pretty good, but idk how people feel about it nowadays.

Have you tried to manually move the mods to the correct location after install?
