Default Photoslide (and other) apps not downloading from Market

I see there is an update to Photoslide in the market but it's not downloading. It just says "starting to download" and sits there and never actually starts to transfer. Been almost 17 hours now. I've restarted several times... tried using 3G, 2G, wifi, etc...

I've read tons of people complaining about other apps doing this, and they say to remove the app and re-install the updated one --- but I don't even get an "uninstall" option --- just Install

Its doing the same thing for me with HelloIM and SnapPhoto Pro. I hope this isnt something permanent for root users. I'm definately going to need my refund if I can't update the apps that I've paid for.

Honestly, I can't see google doing that. Hell, they were posting the link to xda to let people know how to root their phone. Plus, (I hope) they're not (that) stupid.. if they make it so that rooted phones cant get apps going the legit route, they're pretty much forcing a pirate scene.

well over 35 hours and I still cant get the updated version of the photoslide app. I've managed to uninstall it and I can't even re-install it now. Of course, I can't find ANYONE to ask about this... I'm a little upset at the moment, really making me scared of shelling money out for anything else in this buggy market.

I had to update my credit card information on Google Checkout. I don't think they allow you to change it on the G1, so you have to change your info via PC.

All of a sudden, it downloaded. Took almost 40 hours of trying off and on. Removed the product, switched to 3G to 2G, wifi, let it run for hours, cancelled it for hours, rebooted a bunch of times.. just.. all of a sudden it worked.
