Worldwide Leadership Download on Android

There is a 32.6 KB compressed download for the Worldwide Leadership Training that will not download. This has been going on for months. Can you fix?

Which download are you talking about? The only "Worldwide Leadership Training" that I see on my Android Gospel Library is Library > Leadership > 2012 Worldwide Leadership Training Meeting. I am able to download and read that particular item with no problems. I'm running Android 4.4.2 as well.

Could you be more specific about what "will not download" means? Do you see error messages? What remedial steps have you tried?

Attempted to download the Worldwide Leadership Training in the Videos section of the app, and got this message: An error occurred while downloading "Worldwide Leadership Training". I attempted it again and the status at the top of my phone briefly showed "Downloading...", but it didn't download. So I downloaded other videos then tried the Training download again later and got the same results. (Samsung Galaxy S4)

I have the same problem. I get "Error downloading Worldwide Leadership Training" every time I open the app or refresh the catalog. I've tried deleting everything from the leadership catalog, but I still get the error. Is there a way to reset the database? Maybe the 2012 Worldwide Leadership Training Meeting used to be called just Worldwide Leadership Training and the rename went funny.

It looks like it's coming from the Videos library. If I subscribe, then unsubscribe, or do a remove all, I still get the same problem.

Almost every time I start GL, it attempts to download and I get the same error message:

"An error occurred while downloading 'Leadership Training Library'".

I sent feedback through the app to the developers but there has been no response. I wonder if they cannot duplicate the problem or if they just don't know what to do about it.

No problem. I am using Android 4.1.2 if that has a bearing on the situation.

It's found in Library > Videos > Worldwide Leadership Training. It sounds like user lajackson might be downloading something different from the rest of the users in this topic. The error message everyone else gets is "An error occurred while downloading 'Worldwide Leadership Training'". Not to disregard lajackson's issue, or that it isn't perhaps related, but I thought I'd point out that the error message is different from the others here.

That is correct. I am not attempting to download anything from Worldwide Leadership Training.

I get the Leadership Training Library error message each day as I start up GL and it tries to download something on its own. I suppose it is possible that the root cause of the problem is the same, however. But until I hear something one way or the other, I am in the dark.

I had the "failed to download 'Leadership Training Library'" error message. It went away after I refreshed the "Library" catalog and removed all entries under "Leadership". I don't know if both are necessary.

I tried that with no success.

and removed all entries under "Leadership".

Yikes! I use most of that stuff regularly. Did you ever reload it?

That's my Handbook 2, my leadership guides and guidebooks, and lots of other material I use all the time for training.

If I thought it would help, I would delete it and reload it. (Although I have not yet figured out how to delete individual items from Gospel Library.)

Do a long touch on the item. You'll be presented with the option to remove the item.

Ah, yes. Thanks.

Yesterday I opened every item in the Leadership folder. One item had not yet downloaded but successfully did and opened. I did not see the problem error message today. Perhaps I accidentally fixed it.

I tried what you mentioned, in my library it showed that I had under Leadership > Worldwide Leadership Training both Worldwide Leadership Training & 2012 Worldwide Leadership Training Meeting downloaded, and I could access both. However, I didn't have Leadership > Videos > Leadership Training Library. When I tried to download the leadership training library, it told me it was unable to download it. Then I tried deleting worldwide leadership training & 2012 Worldwide Leadership Training Meeting, then redownloading them. Only the 2012 Meeting worked, the other gave me the same error (An error occurred while downloading "Leadership Training Library").

I don't use these, I only downloaded them in the first place because I tried to download everything in the Leadership category. But I am curious what is causing the issue.

(Before I checked the error message again, I verified that I did have the latest version of Gospel Library. My device is an HTC Evo 3D with Android 4.0.3)

This is an old error that has come back again. I also received it this weekend. I do not know why.

I would suggest you report it to the email address in Gospel Library for the developers to look at the situation again and see if they can resolve it one more time.

I see this thread has been dead for awhile with no solution. I started having the same problem for about a month now. I too am not trying to download anything, but the message comes up every time I start the app, and more annoyingly, now every time I task switch between the app and my journaling I'm doing in Google Keep, I get the error when the GL app comes back on screen.

Android 5.01 on Nexus 5.

When it happened last time, quite some time ago, I reported it and the problem went away after about a week.

I expect there is nothing to be done about it and that the developers will have to fix it.

The other possibility I have considered is that something really is trying to download. Last time, I considered getting into a strong WiFi spot and forcing a download of everything. I never did that, but I was in WiFi often enough that things were able to update.

Did everything finish downloading on its own? I don't know. The problem went away.
