Help Sluggish Downloads

I've been using AppBrain to interface with the Android Market and I have been running into an issue where I try to install a couple of apps, it says it's starting download, but then nothing happens. I even turned on and off my 3G a few times, with no luck. This has happened once before. Is there something wrong or is this a case where the Android Market is a POS?
 
when you click "install" on appbrain, do you go over to your phone and open appbrain and click "sync with appbrain" and then "perform installs"?

Yes. Then I end up on a screen where it shows empty progress bars for the apps I tried to download.

I just went into the Android Market and tried to download one of the programs independently from AppBrain. Still didn't work. Must be a hiccup from the Market... oh well.
