    Hello.
    Is there a way to specify direct url to *.bundle file and download it as addressable and use it via AssetReference?
    In my project I getting list of links to all assetbundles from my server, but now I wish to use addressables. Is it worth upgrading to it?

    My research shows me, what trying to download addressable with direct link is kinda shooting yourself in the leg, because all the point of addressables as top-built library is you shouldn't think about exact location, because catalog solves any path.
    Approach I referenced declares the using of your own AssetBundleProvider, where you changed location solving algorithm.

    Hello @BeregAlto ! I am in the same situation! At the moment I'm managing the asset bundle manually, did you find a way how to use Addressables when having multiple links?
    Do you have any info on how to create your own asset bundle provider?
