Wow first off i'm sorry for beating a dead horse but I can't for the life of me install summerboard. I tried reinstalling the installer app than resetting my iphone. I can't seem to download anything because I keep getting the Error: Package Download Failed! message. I just bought this 16gb iphone yesterday and unlocked, jailbroke and activated with ziphone. Any suggestions as to why I keep getting this error. The 1st thing I did was go into sources and install the community sources than I hit refresh all sources. I then tried installing summerboard and that damn error keeps popping up! oh man i'm about ready to throw my iphone into the wall. All i'm trying to do is use a picture I have as a background instead of just having that black screen.
Got a tip for us?

This is a common problem, check your Wifi connection. If that doesn't work, try to restore your network settings, and if THAT doesn't work then restore the phone and run ziphone all over again. The last option is a MEGA pain, but may just well work.
re
you go into settings then tap general and at the bottom you will see reset tap that then hit reset network settings

If this is strictly limited to summerboard ONLY, then i would try again tomorrow or the next day, it very well could be a server problem if its only that one package
Same here... I did a full restore too... damn it. Should of looked here first.
*I'm also getting that error for BSD Subsystem as well now.

Yeah, just give it some time and it will all be up and running again soon. Hopefully.
If you are refering to me no I did not. I also used iLiberty. I've had no negative effects from doing it that way either.
The same problem here!! I can't install the NES, and the 1.1.4 weaks are not working too, just appear one of them to download... just yesterday I restore and jailbreak my iphone 
Seems there is a problem with installer.
I have a 16 gig iphone that worked yesterday, and now its not working
i also got 4 new 8 gigs today, and all of them gets the download error. So maby their servers are down?
Also tried with an iTouch! same error, so i can say this is not just a problem for you!

Hey people. I just jailbraked my 16Gb iPhone today, and as well, I keep recieving the "Package download failed!" when attempting to download almost anything. I hope this is quickly fixed.

It would seem the repository is down
try adding http://apptapp.saurik.com/ to your list of sources.
And installing fake_bsd
I think it will work for most of the stuff you want to do.
