Download System

[florinm03]

• Improving download performance

• Add reliable hash verification

  • to ensure file integrity (file integrity is not as much of a concern due to other issues potentially breaking integrity like unverified server downloads)
  • for user convenience: when having the same mod but different name to not need to redownload

• Enrich the UI with real-time information such as download speed and ETA

SHA1 might be overkill if we don't need integrity, check MD5, CRC32, or FNV1 "for binaries it's alright and it's very fast"
