I can't say that this will help everyone but I thought it should be posted yet again for those with this problem to try out. When I tried downloading things it would get the red circle with the line acrossed it that said queued, 1kb. I tried everything that I could find on the forums here with little success until last night.
My isp has its own little software program that automatically sets my browser and internet settings when I use the net. I found that it was setting my connection to use a proxy server every time I opened my browser. I have to change this setting every session to get my downloads to work but heres what you can try.
Open Internet Explorer
Open the tools menu then select internet options
Under the Connections tab select your connection then Settings Uncheck the box that says Use a proxy server for this connection.
Note: if your Sims 3 launcher was opened you will need to restart it.
Hope this helps some of you that are having problems downloading.

Thanks for posting that! I have bookmarked this thread for future reference.

EDIT: I went onto Internet Explorer but there is nothing in the box, the LAN box is also unticked for proxy anyways.
So now I'm just confused. XD
EDIT again: just looked and found the Firefox one... it says never use a proxy... I guess my issue is different to yours.
