This is probably caused by the download timing out - you can delete the partially downloaded file(s) and try again.

This is the second VMWare user with timeouts. I wonder if there's some bug in VMWare.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

The timeout happens to me occasionally outside of vmware.

Re-starting without a backup will not fix things as extensions are downloaded to permanent storage unless you are booting from an iso in the vm every time.

Assuming your extensions folder is at /mnt/sda1/tce/optional and your download timed out whilst downloading an extension named extension_name, you would delete it like this:
Code: [Select]
$ rm /mnt/sda1/tce/optional/extension_name.tcz*
