unable to completely download nltk package in python. stops at omw

I am unable to complete the nltk package download. It always stops at the items omw (Open Multilingual Wordnet). These are the only two remaining ones. I have looked at other help items (i.e. install ntlk supporting packages or error installing Nltk) but the problem persists. It returns the error code 11001, i.e. wrong server location. But the server index http://ntlk.org/nltk_data/ worked for all other items. I am a bit lost here.

Print scree of error message can be found here

I use python 3.5 and have the latest nltk file (downloaded and unzipped it last night)

Many thanks!

Are you connecting to the internet with a proxy server? If so, try this:

nltk.set_proxy('http://proxy.example.com:3128', ('USERNAME', 'PASSWORD'))
nltk.download()

Alternatively, try this:

Open a terminal window (Use the “Run...” option on the Start menu). Go to the directory where Python is installed, for example C:\Program Files\Python 3.5\

type:

python -m nltk.downloader all

If all that fails, you should try downloading the data manually from here: http://www.nltk.org/nltk_data/ and then put your data in the C:\nltk_data directory.
