Does the client download mods from servers if it has the same version?
I want to know how much needless traffic is generated. Has MT a mechanism to reduce the download sizes?
There are some servers where you wait 10min just for the assets to download.
If not what would the best way to deal with it? Create hashes, transfer them, match then and then copy/link the local copy in the cache for the server?

This is a mostly frozen copy of the Minetest forums through 2017. If you know phpBB3 and would like to host any G-rated forum here, you can email: me@minetest.org If the email doesn't work, find out who's taken over Final Minetest from OldCoder and email them to get write access or an admin account.
I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.
Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow,
away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.

The client doesnt download the mods, it just downloads the media (textures, sounds, models) and the node and item definitions.
Media is cached, so you dont download it twice (except models).
