I have had nothing but horrible experience with GOOGLE CHECK OUT. One program took 14 hours to down load, another 18 hours, and I am currently downloading a program that is right now in its 6th hour. I guess I have anywhere from 8 hours to 12 hours to go.

The developer's all claim to have received their money immediately. I thought I was losing my mind, until I came upon this article. I encourage everyone to take the time and read this article published in PC World about GOOGLE CHECKOUT. Thank you.

I have downloaded over 200 apps (paid and free) and not had any major issues. Some were slow at times (a minute or two vs. seconds), but all eventually downloaded completely and installed with no problems.

Sounds like maybe you are having some connection speed issues(?).

Never had any issues using it. The article you linked is from 2006.

No issues here. Everything has been fairly 'instant'. The article is dated from Aug 2006 as well.

No issues here either.

No issues, ever! Been very happy with the process for both free and paid apps.

No issues here. Dunno why you're having so much trouble. Go in an get a replacement phone maybe?

There are other people that have had issues with Google Checkout... I've seen a couple threads pop up... however, a more recent article might be fitting

They may just be a troll. This is their second such post. See here > http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-applications/8741-google-checkout-beware.html

Why post twice? The first post not get enough attention?

I had an account with Google before I had the Droid so purchases have been no problem. When I have a bad connection then the download can be very slow, but it still would be less than 5 minutes. Most downloads are in a few seconds.

I didn't even notice it was the same OP.... hmmm shame on me for feeding...

Something is wrong with your phone or your connection. Uninstall all apps and do a factory data reset and see if you still have the issue. A previously installed app could be causing problems.
