i am going to try to describe the feature the way SKLauncher uses it because i think its very powerful and useful to have
given a file eg: mods/someMod.jar it would usually redistribute that jar
unless there exists a file mods/someMod.jar.url.txt with a single line inside specifying the url
this can be used to download from cursecdn, jenkins or wherever else the mod dev serves the files
It would be preferable to rehosting
and i would appreciate adding this, i need it for adding simple MCUpdater-fastcraft support to my modpack building stuff
