If I install a game on a USB Drive and I unplug it for whatever reason... and I start the game via the wiiU Menu, (without Usb Drive attached) could it bricks my console?

So Wii Sports Club still wont let you play any of the games, they are still greyed out :( or am i missing something
Yeah, for now Wii Sports Club will not work as the only version of Wii Sports Club that is available for download in the eShop is the demo. We are only using the title.tik from the disc, not the actual contents. For now, you will have to use Loadiine in order to play the full version of Wii Sports Club.
 
Ok my download seems incomplete even if it's wrote finished.

The complete size have changed at this time ...

Will it resume incomplete WUDs ?
Ermmm... I don't think so (and you are not downloading WUDs, its mmm... something else... :/ [let's just call it "eshop content"])

Use NUSGrabber.exe (command prompt version)

Sorry if this has been asked before but I'm trying to understand New Super Luigi U (USA). Is it considered DLC as far as the eShop is concerned? I do not see it available to download on NUS, though I see a .tik is available for it.

I think a thread stating what games are NOT available via eShop/NUS (or rather what is retail/disc only) might be a good idea.

According to the title database the DLC isn't available on their CDN: http://wiiubrew.org/wiki/Title_database
 
I've been able to install to the internal drive but no luck with external. Pressing A/X both install to internal. What am i missing?
 
So I see a lot of people on here always talking about errors they are getting. I have never encountered any errors ever.
I'll just put here everything I do and use. Maybe we can compare differences between setups to see if we can weed out where these errors come from.
To start, I am using the 32GB model Wii U. I have a 128GB PNY microSD in an adapter. For my USB drive I am using a WD Passport Ultra 1.5TB HDD. The hard drive plugs into a powered hub, which then plugs into the Wii U. I'll be changing to a Y cable soon, so if anything changes after that I'll make a note of it.
I download my games with NUSGrabber via command line. I reach my max network download speeds (about 7-10MB/s) when using this method, and have never had any failed or broken downloads.
Right after the game downloads I also download updates with NUSGrabber (Because the Title ID of updates is identical except one character, I can just hit the up arrow which brings in the last command on Command Prompt, and then replace a 0 with an E)
I transfer them to my SD in "SD:/Install/*Game Name* or *Game Name* Update. I can do this because I also use wupinstaller mod y.
I then go into my Wii U and run the browser exploit through loadiine.ovh (I set my to autolaunch HBL).
From there I load wupinstaller mod y.
I then select both the update and the game to install in one go. Sometimes I do multiple games and updates.
The only issue I've ever had was on my part forgetting to put title.tik into the game install folder.

New Super Luigi U is tricky, the eshop version is a DLC, requires New Super Mario Bros U to run, while the disc version is a standalone game, the two versions have different title IDs while bearing the same name.

However New Super Mario Bros U + New Super Luigi U is available as both eshop and disc version, try that.
