mod organizer 2 ssl error when downloading from nexus

Clicking the mod manager download button opens MO2 but then it fails with an SSL error. Manual downloads work fine. Logged out and back in already. Any ideas?

if updating doesn't do it, open the nexus tab in mo2's settings, disconnect and reconnect your account. a stale api key can throw errors that look like an ssl problem and people spend ages messing with certificates for nothing.

nine times out of ten it's an old MO2 build. update to the current release and the nexus downloads work again. if you're already up to date, check your windows clock is correct (a wrong date breaks ssl checks) and see whether your antivirus does https scanning, that can break it too.
