      I'm trying to download Modern Combat 2 onto my iPhone over Wifi, but the little blue progress bar keeps on resetting every time the download is about 60% complete. Why is this happening?

      I don't know, but this happens on every large-file download I try over wifi. I guess if something takes too long, it automatically quits thinking there was an error? I don't know.

      Try a hard reset, and if that doesn't work, then do a barrel roll.

      So all of you guys are able to download large apps over Wifi directly onto your iDevices without any problems? I'm talking about 200mb+.

      I had the same problem installing NOVA 2, but after I left my iPod alone overnight it finally installed. It only happens for huge apps like that, though.

      I've had that happen a few times on my iPad. It just started about a month ago...never had the problem before then. I haven't figured out a way to fix it though... :confused:

      If the iPhone auto-locks, does the app still continue to download?
