Cannot download additional components for Mac OS X Lion

[AppleMacFinder]

I have messed up with my partition table, so I rescued my files using Ubuntu LiveCD,
reformatted the entire drive and going to make a clean install.

I am using a bootable Mac OS X Lion installation DVD which is fine and previously worked.
However, I get "cannot download additional components" error, despite I am connected to the Internet.
Please tell me, how to solve that problem?

Downgrading the RAM back to stock RAM solved the problem!
Never thought the OS can refuse to install just because the RAM is "too good to be true"

i had the same problem found i had defective ram you can test yours with this MemTest

FYI just because about this mac reads all the RAM you might still have a defective stick

RAM is fine, I have tested it - both with advanced Apple Hardware Test and Memtest
(by the way, Memtest is unable to test all 8GB, even in command-line mode)

It seems, I have had this problem because 1600MHz is not officially supported.

good to know I guess there are a few reasons thats Cannont download additional components error drove me nuts for 3 days before I read about putting original back in

maybe in your case it has to do with them being 1600Mhz

I should try some day when I have time to try a clean install now that my 8GB are tested and working to see if it works
