There should be a log in %USERPROFILE%\WUU with some debug info - I've tested WUU (early 1.7 at least) with 600 addons, but there shouldn't be any limits unless I've forgotten something :) I'll try a couple thousand addons tomorrow, delaying 1.8 for a day.
I did a little testing of my own, and I saw that I can use versions up to and including 1.7.576 but starting with 1.7.580 this problem starts. I hope this helps. I'm also using the windows version if that helps any
WUU 1.8.587 on Vista64. two problems. first, this error message is misleading:
2008-09-08 11:48:44: (WARN) Download of oUF failed, URL=snapshot/oUF-master.zip: [Error 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: u'c:\\users\\vith\\appdata\\local\\temp\\Wurm\\oUF-r200809071153.zip'
the problem was actually that i needed to prepend %(site)s to Download Name Expression, whereas earlier i had to remove it from Addon Information Page
second issue is this is what it said when it worked:

lejordet, I don't suppose you're going to start playing WAR and update this EXCELLENT app to support WAR addons? I've been a huge fan of WUU for a long time. Sad that I can't use it for WAR now. Either way, thanks for an invaluable app.
Getting errors like this whenever an update on WoW-Interface is "pending approval" (the download link opens a popup with a list of older versions). It also stalls the rest of the updates when using One-Button Update.

The misleading message is a problem yes, it seems it's what Python reports when the file is not a "real" zip file.
As for the "forbidden" files, I'm not sure: files that have no extension should be accepted (WUU uses a white list for file extensions when unpacking, to prevent potentially dangerous files from being extracted). Not sure why that happens though.

Yeah, I know OBU is a bit "fragile" - fixing it is a tough task at this point, but I'll look at it.

The thing is, I barely have time for WUU as it is ;) Such as right now - my last post in this thread was a month ago, where I "promised" to release 1.8 within the next day or so :( Unfortunately (or fortunately) I got some new tasks/new position at work, so I've been trying to finish some old tasks to prepare for it, and generally been working much, and for some reason, I prioritize WUU quite low ;)
Fixing some of the long-standing bugs in WUU would require ripping out a lot of code and almost writing parts of it from scratch (due to either bad decisions from my side when I started WUU, conditions changing (websites, etc.) so that the original idea doesn't fit the current situation, or plain old "the code grew too complex to maintain").
Anyhow, I've been stuck on RAR unpacking on Vista 64, and found the issue: 32-bit Python (which I use for WUU) can't use 64-bit 7-zip to unpack files, since I don't get any "feedback" from 7z.exe then. So if you have Vista64, install 32-bit 7-zip ;)
Anyhow, looking through Jncl's last changes, and releasing 1.8 (non-beta) today!
Here's the COMPLETE change list from 1.6 release to 1.8 release (that is, the changes seen by users that haven't used the beta versions):

EDIT: I'll get it out on SourceForge later today if and when I figure out the new file release system :P

Odd, but what ever :)
I've checked a bit, and posts in mailing lists/forums indicate that this might be because your antivirus is still scanning the file after the download when WUU tries to unpack it. I'll try adding a slight delay there, might help (these zip files are tiny, so I guess adding half a second or so will help; making this user configurable of course)
An odd failure when trying to download the latest version - it barely starts and immediately pops up a window with:
Download failed: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
My girlfriend had the same problem yesterday (we share a connection, FWIW).
When I went to the download link on the home page I was able to download the release with no problem, as well as the latest beta (which, oddly, is older than the release - you may want that link to point to the release as well). I continue to not be able to auto update, and I'm about to just install it directly (so won't test it any more).
I'm running on Win XP SP2, updating from 1.8.587.
[edit] Once updated, it works just fine, as normal. As always, many thanks for providing such a great tool.
Ah, thanks for the report: I had forgotten to upload the digital signature of the .zip file, so the 404 was for that - and of course the updater won't update without the signature ;)
Is this compatible with the new curseforge client? (Can it be used to download the addons at curseforge later on when the files.wowace.com is shut down?)

I think only the Curse client will be able to download the files from Curseforge, or you can do it manually (I hope). WUU probably won't be able to get the addons from there, but I don't know this discussion very much.
