The game should be able to access online files, without having to download them to a local file, using a Downloader.

This would be beneficial for the in-game release checker, as well as any future add-on management modifications.

Everything accessing the web is caching stuff locally, even if only for a short amount of time. What do you want to change about the way it works?

There should be the ability to cache downloaded data to memory (perhaps a string) for one-time use, rather than save it to a local file.

Maybe using https://curl.se/libcurl/c/getinmemory.html
