I recently (a few hours ago) encountered an issue with my phone: downloads refuse to start

In the "downloads" application the download switches back and forth from "in progress" to "failed" several times a second. I tried an alternate download manager, resetting my phone, clearing all browser data... nothing.

Any suggestions?

Play store works fine. So does dropbox. It's the browser that's giving me the issues. I tried Chrome but that wouldn't download anything either.
