Sometimes people have bad interneties or whatever but what if we were able to select an option to stop downloading peoples customs? It'll probably prevent a bit of pings and what not. I've been told you can change the permission in the customs folder but why not make it an obvious option?

/opt autoupdate 0

Keep in mind a that'll also stop it downloading mod files when it needs them.

Could probably do with a GUI option for it

I never knew that was an option either. What if the gui option could distinguish the DL for customs and mod files?

It would be great if it was in the advanced options. Additionally it wouldn't waste space on a user's HDD or SSD with customs he may not care to see and would rather have the drive space.

U can disable textures from options. This way it only downloads the headtexture. Downside is that u dont see your own textures, if u care about that.
