When they say "some" what they really mean is "everyone".

I had that problem when i first installed it mentioning something about Directx so reinstalled that and then the game. After that it worked fine. Do you get an specific messages?

If anyone is having issues with a negative download being displayed... goto the folder you are storing the capsule temporary files and you should be a load of 100 meg files. (102,400). You MAY notice that one of the files is not fully downloaded (not file 76 btw..), so delete that one.

NOTE: The download will start downloading from the file that is missing, including ALL the ones you have already downloaded after that.. so copy them out whilst that corrupted file is downloading, then when it's starts the next file you actually have downloaded, copy them all back in :-)

With luck your download should now be complete and ready to install.

EDIT: Actually DELETE file 76 do it forces it to resume from file 76 :-)

EDIT 2: Bah.. forget it.. I have even gone as far as changing the dates on the files, but it won't recognise that I've already got the files.. it insists on resuming from the last known downloaded file. REALLY irritating as I'm only on file 15 of 76 that I have already downloaded *sigh*.
