HELP!! iTunes error 9006?!

Okay, I forgot my iPhone passcode so Im trying to restore it.

But halfway after its done when it says 'iPhone Software Updating (processing file)'' The error pops up saying

''There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone ''iPhone'' A unknown error occured (9006).

Make sure your networks settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again.''

I tried like 10 times and the same thing keeps happening!

My network settings are active and connected, I made sure all the firewall and everything was off,

restarted my computer, changed the control pannel LAN settings, everything.

Nothing works! :/

PLEASE HELP!

THANK YOU!
