I am trying to install nRF Connect SDK v1.6.0. For some reason the download speed is extremely slow, and even fails without the ability to resume automatically. On two occasions Toolchain Manager v0.9.3 claimed it had successfully installed the SDK but I couldn't locate boards, projects, or even zephyr root folder in SEGGER, as if the download was incomplete. Is there a way I can manually download the necessary files and feed them to the Toolchain?
Hi Markus,
Thanks for your reply. This did the trick!
I think I also found what the original problem was... First time I ran 'ncsmgr init-ncs', it failed after pulling repositories to 'ncs/v1.6.0/.west/manifest-tmp/.git/'. Looking at the logs, I realized it has failed to move'.west/manifest-tmp' to 'nrf':

Note: switching to 'v1.6.0'.
You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.
If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:
git switch -c <new-branch-name>
Or undo this operation with:
git switch -
Turn off this advice by setting config variable advice.detachedHead to false

Took me a while but I eventually found it my antivirus was checking the files in '.west/manifest-tmp'. This would prevent the folder to be moved until the scan operation was complete. In reality, this would probably take a fraction of a second but was conflicting with the script's operation. It might make life easier for everyone if you introduce a short delay before that operation in your script.
Thanks a lot for your feedback, Iman! I’m glad to hear that you could resolve the issue :-)
