Error Package download failed

Evening all,

I am trying to install some programs but when I go to download new items I get the error message "Error Package download failed"

I have tried searching and can't see anything about it.

What am I doing wrong?

I have tried about 20 and it happens on all of them.

Safari works fine so it can't be the wifi connection.

Re: Error Package download failed

two problems i had, same as yours russell

try to install the iradio version 1.0b4
get a box come up, Error package download failed!
iradio crashing fix, version 1.0
try installing that, error package download...


tried to install avplayer, but it says you need to install mobilefinder package first.

Sounds like you are running out of space on the app partition, use bosstool to move your fonts and ringtones.

If bosstool wont install you'll have to uninstall some apps to make some space for it.

The only app I have been able to install though is Isim.

I only have the standard ringtones so surely it cannot already be full.

Cheers Hutch, but don't I need to download that via the installer program?

That is the main problem, I can't download anything from there.

Sounds like your installer may have a problem, may be worth Restoring and reunlocking.

Re: Error Package download failed

I have had this problem with the GBA emulator (gpsphone) and the ps1 emulator (psx4all i think). The thing is, once it buggers up once, you wont be able to install anything untill you propperly shutdown installer. If you look at the top of your phone after you get the error, the twirly thing keeps spinning even though you aren't downloading anything.

So when that happens, hold the home button until Installer goes away, then open it up again and you can download a something else without the error.

Has anybody else had problems with the emulators? I can never seem to download them, I think there is something wrong with my source.
