Hi.
OK the manual thing is a mistake
it is the mini tutorial on web start when it asks you if you want a tutorial.
to the person having problems with bulk download.
I have tried, it is true that it gets stuck at 0.8% however it is only because it is downloading a very big pack.
let it download for a bit and it should continue
problem is percentage only updates when downloading each pack.
just wait for a bit, if it really doesn't download let me know and I'll think of something to do
