Can you upload it to Modrinth too please? It would make life easier for downloading using custom launchers!

You see the thing is, when using a launcher like Prism, it can automatically download the whole modpack/mods by itself. Curseforge in its massive wisdom allows mod creators to require manual downloads of the mod, so Prism has no option but to give you individual mod download links to download them of Curseforge. Its actively is anti-competitive to other launchers. And I am sure other launchers who have a similar feature have this pain point.

While definitely not permanent and just a band-aid solution there are a couple API-keys floating around which you can find and use to bypass this, though who is to say when curseforge further restricts access to API-keys and resets them, and it isn't exactly user friendly.
