Some mod creators, while filling up the fields during the mod post creation process, they add a page link rather than a download link in the download field, where after they publish the mod with that, users that click the download button would open a page rather than download a file, screwing with their expectations.

While we don't want to prevent people from doing it, a compromise would be to inform users what to expect from that download button, so if that download link isn't a file link, then a message would appear above or below the download section mentioning it.

html to be provided here later.
