Did you get a message from ASM stating "mod details not available"?
ASM uses Steam's Web API to get most of it's information regarding mod versions and details. Without this Web API, ASM would have to download all mods every time to determine if it needs to be updated or not.
The problem with using the Web API is that a key is required. The key has a daily limit and if exceeded, can cause data errors to occur when the mod information is requested. ASM has defined it's own key, but with the increase in usage of ASM, this has caused the ASM default key to exceed it's daily limit on more than one occasion.
To prevent this daily limit affecting you, you can register for your own Web API key. This then allows you to operate ASM without being affected by other users.
