@Yagisan or anyone that can answer this.
First let me say how fantastic Wabbajack is. It's amazing what this does.

Here is a pic where I'm stuck. It's been here for a long time. Internet connection is working
How do I proceed?


Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

Quit and restart the Wabbajack. It will pick up where it was when you quit. You may need to do this a few times, if there are connection issues.
