I agree with you Andreas, a big issue is having to upload the files to two different places. The STEX links idea is one potential work around to mitigate that. One thing to keeep in mind for everyone reading this thread is that this is more of a project than just simply making download dependencies, etc . . . easier to manage. I view this potential project as a complete interface for browsing, searching and downloading plug-ins. A very streamlined interface to acccomplish very specific goals. All this being said, I do realize that nothing can be perfect, and there may well be some caveats, nothing is perfect but something is better than nothing.

What I am thinking of a is a repository other than STEX, I would write a totally new (and very efficient) backend that is an effort independent of STEX. This would require plug-in developers to upload their files to a new site.

Yes, that is what I envision.

I love downloading all the great new bats, lots and mods that the many talented developers out there are putting out. I hate managing all those downloads and I find the STEX to be rather cumbersome (not a rip on Simtropolis at all, what an awesome site and amazing team running it, but being a Swiss Army knife has its drawbacks). Wouldn't it be great if there was a much, much slicker way of downloading files, automatically determining dependencies and dynamically building packages that include all the necessary dependencies if they are not already on your system, management system for the authors of all these great plug-ins, etc . . .? Here is where I'd like to step in and give something to the SimCity community -- I have a thought out plan of attack and the software development skills to make such a thing possible. However, its undoubtedly a good amount of work, so is there any interest in this? Would plug-in developers be willing to cooperate and make their downloads available on such a potential site? I can provide more details if there is interest.
