Plug it in via USB.
Delete what ever it was you downloaded.

Then try.

For future reference, don't use transition to download multiple items at one time, for me this only leads to disaster.

unmount it run fsck and then mount it again.

Try via USB first

The last fsck I did was going for over 14 hours and fixed nothing, I then plugged it in to a PC and mounted it as mass storage, deleted the files, fixed!

My way of fixing this is to just reboot the device
Code:

sudo gainroot
reboot

If it doesn't fix it the first time, another reboot usually fixes it, but it's never more than 3 needed.
