I am registered with the site, and can get to it from my phone (W810) just fine. So the phone and its Internet settings aren't an issue. However, 9 times out of 10, I can't actually download anything; the phone pops-up either or both of these messages:
"File type not supported by phone, download anyway?"
"Selected file contains errors and cannot be downloaded."
It isn't a function of content type, since even simple JPG and GIF image files produce these errors. (For example, I can't get any of the Da Vinci Code images.) It also doesn't seem to matter if the content was accessed directly on the phone, or first added to "My Content" on the PC and then accessed from "My Content" on the phone. And for PC-based searching for content, I am of course specifying my phone correctly.
This has been going on for months. I've tried the Contact page on the Sony Ericsson site, and always get a canned response to the effect of, "We've been having problems with the site and we're working on it."
Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone shed some light on it? I always hold this over my Motorola-using friends - all the cool stuff available for free from
. So it's embarassing when none of it is actually accessible!

A little more info...
Animated .GIF files almost always produce the above error.
.JPG files sometimes work, and sometimes download into crap. Here's an example, one of the WTA images. It looks like this on the
site.
When I download it to the phone, it looks like this. It also looks this way on the PC, if I copy it to there from the phone
I also can no longer download the "Casino Royale" trailer. The download progress bar quickly turns into a "Download failed" message
The Fun & Downloads site is all kinds of f'ed up!
