Thanks guys, this helped me a lot, I just waited for my connection to be less loaded (late at night) and downloaded the things I needed one by one, about CKAN autodetecting my already installed mods I tried that and its really hit and miss, some it detects but the majority it does not and I just wanted to have 1 place where I install all my mods, this idea of doing some mannualy and others with a software only serves to confuse me even more (I do believe the modding scene for KSP is a total mess but that might be just me, it feels very much like the modding scene for M&B Warband).
Just so I avoid a little bit of the flak about that last comment, is there a way for me to use mods and maintain a certain amount of organization in my parts list in game? I mean it's very hard to figure out especially if you try to play a campaing.
