After several attempts at "Check for Purchases", after several reboots, these two songs will not download. Any ideas on what to try next?

Answer 1

The iTunes Store has always worked flawlessly for me. Since upgrading to Snow Leopard and iTunes 9, I've had three issues with downloading purchases, once with a music track and twice with apps. iTunes says that the download failed "because the file is corrupt".
Also, iTunes 9 crashes two or three times a day now, and it's always been rock solid in the past.
The support guys immediately ask me to reinstall iTunes 9. Lame. I've tried reinstalling iTunes 9 and also did a clean install of Snow Leopard upgrade on top of a clean install of Leopard - MAJOR HASSLE. Still having the same problems, most recently this morning.
Apple is really screwing up here. iTunes purchases are impulse buys, and if they get to be a hassle I'll just go elsewhere. WAKE UP, YOU ARE LOSING MONEY.
It's particularly irritating to have to deal with overseas support people with a marginal grasp of the english language when we have 10% unemployment here.
