How do I get purchased music to download? I've received an error .3253

Question

I purchased an iPod Shuffle today.  I have tried twice to download purchases from iTunes and receive an "error .3253".  States that the connection has been re-started.  My internet connection is just fine.  Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

HOW DO I DO THAT?
I have copied them on my Windows7 laptop to a flash drive.  When I look at the flash drive while I'm on the laptop it all looks to be there but then when I get on my MAC with Snow Leopard the only thing that shows are the selections that I added myself from my own cds.
This is making me crazy because I need to get these backed up so I can send my computer in and in case they delete whats on my hard drive i do not want to lose any of my i-tunes and I already lost some last summer when someone stole my computers.
I was supposed to mail my laptop in a week ago but still trying to do the itunes copy so I can transfer to my MAC.
Is there a way to copy just one selection to the flash drive?
When I open it up it has  stuff like
It has 4 folders: Music, Videos, My DropBox, Pictures
and a file called purchased.txt,
a file called desktop.ini  with exec on the icon
and a file called Itunes Library with exec on the icon
A folder that says Music and when I open that there is another file labeled Music and then A folder that says Itunes and also in that is a Folder that says Playlists
Inside the 1st Music folder is another music folder and inside that is a folder called Itunes and one called playlists
and a file called desktop.ini with exec on the icon
when I open the Itunes file it shows a folder called album artwork, a file call itunes itunes library.itl with exec on the icon
a file with itunes genius.itdb and exec on icon
and a file with itunes library extra.itdb
if I click on the itunes library.itl then it opens up to my copied selections that I got off cds.
if I click on the other two .itdb files it does nothing
inside the album artwork are two files : download, and cache and you can click on those and get files with number like 03, 15
NEVER THE ITUNES LIBRARY
