I try to download the USKP on the nexus site using the mod manager to download it and when I click it the web page says connecting but the page will nt load and it does not download.

Please help I really want the USKP.

I'm not sure you're supposed to bugshoot Nexus stuff here.
Anyways chances are the servers are just overloaded, their servers are like that these days.

Wait and try again later.

I am just asking for some general help.

I tried to download it a few days ago and it did the same thing.

The tab in the top right of the screen says connecting briefly and then it instantly turns back to the the page not doing anything.

Well then bring it up in the NMM forums on Nexus. Thats what they're there for.

I ask here for those helpful people that actually frequent here.

Downloaded + installed the new Nexus version yesterday without any issues - go to the Nexus site and post there if your problems continue.
