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!

Put iPod in DFU mode, click restore > restore and update, pause download on iTunes.

Remove iPod from usb. Restart iPod. Now resume the download.

Reconnect iPod to computer, put back into DFU mode. Wait for it to finish then click restore iPod. It will use the downloaded ipsw to restore. Works every time. I think the error is in the processing of the download at the same time it's trying to use it to restore. Because it isn't processed it can't use it so immediately it gives the error "9006"
