OSX Lion Clean Install Problems

I was trying to clean install Lion earlier today through the Lion Recovery. The reason for this was that I had too much junk on my computer, and i just wanted to start fresh. Now, i booted up Recovery, erased Macintosh HD and then proceeded to click on the install Lion button. It went through the usual terms and conditions, and then went onto downloading additional components. It has since gotten stuck on that, with no ETA timing or anything.

It is a mid 2009/2008 (cant remember) Macbook Pro, and it was previously running Lion. I do have an internet connection.

Can anyone help, or at least go through the install process?

Much appreciated.

PS: I am installing Lion again on the iMac so I can get the installEDR.dmg onto a disc and try that tommorow.

I can post pictures if requested.
