Havent seen this posted but i noticed that when you try to download from the market the file and you get DOWNLOAD WAS UNSUCCESSFULL your download is actually stored on your sdcard under sdcard/download. Now this happens ONLY if you try to download a file and it DOESNT install. in other words when the download bar fills up but you see it hasnt installed use a file browser go to download on ur sdcard and you'll see downloadfile, downloadfile1, etc. depending on how many times you tried to download that app or other apps. once you click on it and try to install via app manager it you will then see which file it is. as i said this worked for ME so i cant guarantee it will work for EVERYBODY. but it will save you the hassle of unmounting your card everytime you cant get it to install. FYI this will NOT work if you get the unsuccessfull install error. hope this helps someone.
