Nope, it didn't work. Got the same error message when trying to re download the file. Guess I'll have to wait for Apple to get back to me.

8008 seems to be mac server or file issue. iTunes needs to improve their service in this area and have some sort of mechanism to detect errors either in their servers or file corruption.

When deleting the .tmp files and re-downloading them do you have to buy the episode again or does itunes refund you for the error?

Works fabulously - thank you for the tips! My movie downloaded in the end and I thought I would have to purchase again.

Nice one
