Maybe it wasn't able to download the PDF.  I've updated BWS to not require the PDF download.

No, downloaded  it, but now there are other error messages involving fixpack and trilogy, downloading get stuffed, of five, only one active, then it is some auto checking, if I retry it, four or five mods get downloaded and then the same thing. Another strange thing that I noticed is that Sandrah, Revised stuff and couple of other mods have incorrect size although I downloaded them just now. I quit and exited but no matter, I will try again these days and that warrior feats of Might and guile look mighty fine, so no problem. Here is result of test of downloaded mods if it helps somehow, if not just ignore it:  :)

Found Lena NPC, Assassinations and couple of other mods in C:\Users\\AppData\Local cannibalized.  :mellow:  Now, that is strange turn of events, I put Lena in BWS downloads manually, now she is eaten to the bone, only 0 bytes...

Seems that BWS has heavy grudge against mods in zip format, wasted Animus, Questpack 3.2 and couple others which I downloaded manually and put in BWS download folder, most of them was zip...

Zip format is fine.

The Global\modname.ini file has a Size= line with a number (file size in bytes). BWS compares thjs with the size of the archive file in the downloads folder (if you click the archive and press alt+enter for file properties, it is the upper size number).

Yeah, Ok, but what happened? I have no other choice but to think that BWS hates zip with passion:

Yeah, there are more under...

Strange. Nothing changed recently in the download code. You said that your security software was complaining about wget earlier. Did you disable the security software temporarily?

Yes, I disabled AVG, and enabled wget when Windows firewall prompt me, maybe I should disable firewall too? I did all by the textbook, tested mods in downloads and links, made backup and used some assistant to put Big world - BWS in separate folder before I started with downloading, all that I think of what went wrong is  that I enabled option install components in batches.

EDIT:Poor Lena :( , now when both her links are dead, how can I resurrect her?

Install in batches doesn't come into play until later in the process, and I always use it, so no harm there. Can you export your selection and attach it here?

Also can you attach your log files from BiG World Setup\Logs?

Bah, just finished AVG scanning and it informed me that it found 2 "threats", Ascension and Weidu exe's and dealt with it, I will delete this AVG garbage, it isn't worth of nickle...

Sure:

First two are from BWS/logs, third is from Bak-201603042252 inside logs, other six from Bak-201603041907 also from logs. Hope this would be of some help, if I messed something like usual please tell me...

The download log indicates that the download for Assassinations v11 worked - it got the complete file. But the subsequent size check failed. Seems like there might be a bug in the BWS download check code. However that wouldn't truncate the file to 3KB. Did you manually replace the Assassinations zip file?

I will make some code changes later today to make BWS smarter about file size mismatches.

Nope, nada manually, just put those mods which require manual installation and whose test links failed in BWS/downloads. By the way, I noticed strange things while downloaded, 90% of mods from PPG went red ( especially Coran) so I was often forced to pause them, BGTeam downloads were slow like snails, same goes for Sandrah ( occupied 1 track for 2 hours, in the end I got incorrect size or somesuch ) and so on...

I just updated BWS with some fixes for the archive checking and download process.

I'm going for another attempt with BWS. But before that I will ask for help from some kind soul here to provide links for Lena NPC ( her current link is dead I'm afraid ) if it is possible and available. Also I will humble ask for update of Might and guile mod ( those warriors feats new component looks really interesting ) if it can be done ( I guess I can manually enable it myself but I would rather not touch anything if I can help it ).

Not quite sure about this one but I still think that is minor typo error. Dependencies  "RR (component 0) is preferred to cdtweaks (component 2160, 2161 or 2162) or bg2_tweaks (component 2160, 2161 or 2162)" is probably "Item revision-IR (component 0) is preferred to cdtweaks (component 2160, 2161 or 2162) or bg2_tweaks (component 2160, 2161 or 2162). I see no reason why Rogue rebalancing 0 [Proper dual-wielding implementation for Thieves and Bards] would be in conflict with this (rebalanced weapon proficiencies) ...
