I have noticed that any new translations are not downloaded automatically. When I go to the translation update page and choose to update everything, this works fine.

I have installed the module with the following settings:
Source: both local and external
Update modus: added
Frequency: weekly
Update disable modules: disabled

Do you have cron setup? Ie. if you go to your Administration >> Reports page what does it say about the last runtime of cron?

I now have a situation in which translation updates are 'pending': the status page displays modules to be updated, but the update does not take place.

I couldn't even update the files manually.

I have a site that used to be bilingual (handled manually, before l10n_update). Now I need to add three more languages. I set them up, then went to l10n Update to make them as fresh as they make it. Refresh information collects the data about all available remote translations all right. However, when I press update, nothing happens. There is a sites/all/translations folder set in settings but only the primary language .po files are downloaded and stored there, none of the new languages. Repeated update attempts yield nothing, no download, no update but the remote files are listed all right. No change if I remove l10n_update, drop its tables from the database and start everything all over again, the result will be the same. I also tried to change the default language of the site temporarily to see if this has any effect but this isn't the case, either.

@edvanleeuwen, in #1370436: Update translations on cron does not update. I discovered that update on cron never worked. Use the latest dev release and let me know if it works now.

@djg_tram, you are changing the subject. That is confusing the issue and is bad practice. Manual update should work, also with multiple languages. Does the server have full access? Do you experience any time outs?

Sorry if this is not 100%related to this item but Id really like to suggest a method to download modules etc for Drupal like a shopping cart to reduce the individual files that need to be uploaded to a drupal site... Is there anything that can be done to enable this functionality on drupal.org?

@eversee, You are welcome to suggest is here, but it will not be heard by people who work on and maintain drupal.org. You may try the "Drupal.org improvents" group on g.d.o or perhaps create an issue on the Webmasters issue queue. For your own benefit I advise you to have a look at the Drush project a tools used by drupal power users who, like you, don't want to waste their time on endless downloading and unpacking.
