Question Android Market - Download unsuccessful.

Hey guys, ive done some searching but don't seem to be able to find anything that will fix this.

Whatever app I try to download from the market app I get the message that is in the title.

I have cleared the android market app cache and the download manager cache but still the same problem, im at a loss with this and the only thing I can see to do is wipe and start again, but I don't really want to do this so any ideas on how tho fix it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I know this happens with some, not all apps, regularly with HD2 Android builds. The trick in these scenarios is to unmount your SD card and then download these apps. If it's happening to all of your apps, I'm afraid I don't have the answer.
I'm on that Twitter thing the young people like.
@ThePatrickBauer if you like infantile humor and SATAN.

It seems that the Android Market is down. I have similar issues, tried all the known tricks and then saw Twitter...

This is really strange. I just managed to download/install Current Widget, but I cant even begin to download Angry Birds. It began downloading Retro Clock Widget, but stopped halfway through, and just says "Download Unsuccesfull"..

Settings -> SD Card -> Unmount
Download/install apps from Market
Settings -> SD Card -> Mount

It doesnt seem to help me right now, though..
