I have the latest cetutube (0.9.11-2) installed on my N900, as well as all the python* dependencies mentioned by Manik on December 8. It's able to play videos, but when I try to download something I get a pop-up saying that the video has been added to your download queue . When I go back to the application's home screen and select Downloads, the download shows as paused . When I select resume all downloads , the status changes from paused to queued .Hmm. As I was typing this, I tried it again, and the video actually started downloading, but the one I'm actually trying to download is still queued and showing 0% progress.1. When I select Download , why is the download initially paused, so I have to go back to the download page to resume it? It should just start downloading immediately.2. Why do some videos stay in the queued state indefinitely?
