October was the month ModsDrop stopped being a quiet file store. Downloads per day roughly quadrupled between the first week and the fourth, half of today’s library arrived during the month, and the files went to 141 countries. Here are the numbers for 1 to 24 October 2026, from the site’s own records, and what they say about who uses a mod site and what they download.

Downloads

14,536 counted downloads of 1,882 different files between 1 and 24 October, the last day still running when we counted. A counted download is one that went through a file page and passed the checks that exclude robots and an uploader’s own downloads; repeated requests for the same file from the same visitor are not counted again straight away.

Period	Downloads
1–7 October	2,838
8–14 October	3,412
15–21 October	4,856
22–24 October (three days)	3,430

The first day of the month brought 289 downloads. The first day above a thousand was 21 October, with 1,039, and the best so far is 23 October, with 1,216.

Where the downloads went

141 countries. The twelve largest:

Country	Downloads	Share
United States	2,355	16%
France	1,241	9%
Germany	910	6%
Hungary	855	6%
United Kingdom	650	4%
Poland	563	4%
Turkey	476	3%
Brazil	364	3%
Canada	343	2%
Romania	312	2%
Italy	302	2%
Spain	295	2%

The twelve together account for 60% of all downloads; the other 129 countries share the remaining 40%. The United States leads, as it does on any English-language games site. France in second place is new: the French edition of crashmods.com, where many of these files are linked from, opened on 20 October. Hungary is where the site is run from, and it has an unusually large modding audience for its size.

Eight of the twelve are in the EEA or the United Kingdom, and together they supply 35% of all downloads. That matters for how the site pays for itself: in Europe no advert loads until the visitor agrees to the cookie question, so a large share of these downloads earns nothing at all. It is also why the uploaders’ share is split by downloads weighted by country, as the earnings explainer sets out.

The library

On 24 October ModsDrop held 5,928 files, 614 GB in all, from 17 uploader accounts. 2,950 of those files, half the library, were published in October.

File size	Files	Share
Under 50 MB	3,398	57%
50–250 MB	1,906	32%
250 MB–1 GB	580	10%
Over 1 GB	43	under 1%

The big files get the attention, but most mods are small: skins, config packs, sound packs, single cars with sensible textures. Why mod files are so big explains what makes the other 10% heavy.

5,782 files carry a clean VirusTotal result on their page. 121 are too large for VirusTotal to accept, and their pages say so; a handful were still in the scanning queue when we counted.

What people downloaded

The fifteen most downloaded files of the month, as of the morning of 24 October. Every one is a BeamNG.drive mod.

#	File	Downloads	Size
1	Improved Dyno Free	246	11 MB
2	Tesla Model 3 [PACK]	244	30 MB
3	BMW M3 E46	203	694 MB
4	Bicycle	179	138 MB
5	Honda Civic EG6 – Drag Builds	166	272 MB
6	BMW M5 E60/61 (G Power)	135	451 MB
7	Toyota Supra A80 (MK4)	131	297 MB
8	Lamborghini Urus	129	262 MB
9	Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk	124	815 MB
10	Mercedes-Benz G-Class 2027	122	78 MB
11	Mercedes-Benz C-Class W206	112	82 MB
12	Chevrolet Silverado & GMC Sierra GMT900	111	377 MB
13	BMW M4 F82 2015–2020	105	631 MB
14	Ferrari 296 – Scintilla-Based Convertible	92	434 MB
15	BMW M4 G82/G83 LCI	85	150 MB

The most downloaded file of the month is 11 MB, the second 30 MB. Four of the fifteen are under 100 MB. Small, useful files that finish on any connection keep beating large showpieces, which is the most practical lesson in this whole report for anyone who uploads.

What comes next

Truck-sim files only started arriving in the last week of the month, and the first batch is still in single and double digits. Farming Simulator 25’s Beans & Alpacas expansion lands on 27 October. November’s report, in early December, will show whether BeamNG keeps every place in the top fifteen.
