I could never get the downloader to transfer files from my PC to my BBerry. I got lucky once when I installed a new SD card but after that it never worked. Today I think I finally figured out the problem. I have a corporate Bberry. My company has a policy that they remotely administer requiring the the media card be encrypted. As of today my Bberry no longer was remotely administered hence I could remove the media card encryption (I guess this is one good thing to be said about getting laid off). As soon as the encryption was turned off and I formatted the SD card, the Downloader software once again worked transferred podcasts to the Bberry.
Marcus, does this make sense?
