Download error. Tap to retry

After trying to rent a movie on iTunes directly from my iphone 3G (with 3.0) the movie appears in the downloads area but says 'Download Error. Tap to retry.' The movie will not download even if I'm connected to WiFi. How can I either get the movie to download or cancel the purchase? Have I been charged? At this point I'd like to just make it go away. Please help.

I have never seen anyone take this long to fix a link before. Surely a candidate for the Guinness World Records?

Good thing Mr. Jobs is back, maybe he can get Apple back on track..

I have had the same problem. How can I fix it? Does it do the same thing if you BUY the movie? Does it have this problem with TV episodes and music videos?

I have also found that by freeing up about 2 times the space required for my downloading rental has made the download commence.

Yes! Jonathan's fix worked for me as well. The song downloaded on my computer and the error disappeared from my iphone. Thanks.
