Default Droid 2 stuck in "An update is currently being downloaded"

My droid has been trying to update since I bought it several days ago. When I go to Settings > About Phone > System Updates, it says:

"An update is currently being downloaded. You will be notified when the download is complete." A downloading icon is no longer showing.

After days of this, on both wifi and 3g, it's clearly not downloading.

Originally, I switched from 3g to wifi in the middle of the download. And from what I've googled, that's what did it. I've found several reports of this problem but no solutions.

The Droid is rooted.

I've found that fota downloads updates. I've tried looking for fota data, and any other filename that might suggest a partial download. I believe there's a partial download somewhere and that is causing the system to believe an update is being downloaded? I tried booting without the SD card to see if data on the SD card is causing this to happen. And I received the same downloading message above without the SD card in place.

Any ideas?

Default Same here...

I have also been having this issue, but with applications in the market... I noticed that the .apk file does download to my sdcard/downloads folder and I can manually install it, but I don't want to do that every time I install/update an app. It doesn't happen every time, but very frequently. Thanks to anyone that can help!

Fixed it by clearing the data for the market.
