Trying to restore lion - message 'unable to install additional components' what can I do?

I upgraded my MacBook pro internally from 10.6.8. A big mistake. Didn't make a timemachine backup - another big one. Tried to return to 10.6.8. Long and short - stuck with lion reinstall facility which continues to tell me it can't download additional components (whatever they are) What can I do ????

If you're getting the can't get Lion's additional components, then Apple's servers are borked or you have a flakey Internet connection and you'll have to keep trying. To revert back to SL, see Kappy's going back to SL from Lion guide
