I thought I knew what was wrong -- the Download folder on the (it turns out) SD card was read-only. I formatted it, but that didn't help. The download folder RETURNED, and it's READ ONLY again! If that's where downloads go, I'm hosed because it won't stop making it read only.

This is the sort of thing that drives me crazy. I cannot download most apps using my PC because they're all trying to be so cutesy and download ONLY to the android device directly.

I tried a search, but search from the file manager apparently goes into another dimension because it's still at 0% after fifteen minutes. The eDGe isn't THAT big. Now the search is hung and there is apparently no way to kill a search.

My friend tried to link his Droid phone with my eDGe last night to give me task killer. It didn't work, and when I tried to download it, I couldn't. He gave it to me on a thumbdrive but it wouldn't install because it wants to be on a PHONE. Wish I had it because there is no TASK KILLER on the eDGe.

Then I tried unmounting the SD card and removing it, figuring, where would an eDGe download if it didn't HAVE the card? No! I failed to download again. (but it's still searching)

I'll remove the SD card and reload it, being careful to NOT put a Download folder on it. Does anyone know where downloads TRY to go?
