- Phone Keeps Saying Currently Unable To Download Windows 7
- Phone Keeps Saying Currently Unable To Download On Youtube
Actually, fairly certain I just fixed it:
On iTunes on a computer, go to the iTunes store then to your account. At the very top I bet you will see something that says:
See more of The Droid Guy on Facebook. Create New Account. The installation of lollipop update few days ago for my Galaxy S5 I keep getting a message pop up on my screen saying “currently unable to download, please try later”. Why keep it in your phone? If it’s a utility app, I’m sure there’s a lot of apps like. Support 'Currently unable to download. Please try again later.' Please try again later.'

Click on Download Now. You will see the download is the U2 booklet. Now try your device to see if you see the error anymore. It seems to have solved it for me.
My guess for what is happened: You technically purchased the booklet along with rest of the album. If you did it on the device, then it tried to download the booklet but it failed (I'm guessing because of incompatibility with iBooks, or something like that...). Now it is stuck pending a download somewhere, so iBooks continues to try to download it but fails each time because it is incompatible. Going on to your account in iTunes (on your computer) shows the pending download and you activate it to download to your computer instead of your device. After downloading, it is no longer pending so iBooks on your device no longer tries to download it all the time.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3, which I often use as a hotspot for my laptop when WiFi is out of reach. I have a good deal with my carrier so that I have unlimited and fast connection anywhere. Everyone's happy.
Recently, my connection has been beginning to slow down, only sometimes, so I did some testing, and I found that whenever the connection is slow, and I go into Flight Mode (a.k.a. forcibly disconnect the internet connection), I get an anonymous popup message (The smaller ones at the bottom, not the alert() style ones):
Currently unable to continue download, please try again later.
Now, I didn't initiate any download, so I presume some application is doing it. I've uninstalled everything but the bare essentials, and it still happens.
Is there a way for me to know what my browser is downloading, what kinds of requests it's sending, how much and from where?

I have read in several websites that users with the Samsung Galaxy S3 are getting that exact same message when having MMSes that fail to download (probably old ones...).

If possible, delete all and repeat the steps taken to get the message. If you don't get the message, the problem is solved and in the future we all know from where it is comming.
My original comment on the question:
Further into that issue, other users of your device have reported the same message in relation to the MMSes. Do you have any MMSes on your device?
I think a log reader would be able to help you.
aLogcat is a good, free one.
Here's what I would try:
- Install the App.
- Run the aLogcat app once to enable logging (not sure if you really have to do this).
- Repeat what you did before, to make the popup error message show up.
- Run the aLogcat app again, and check out the most recent logs. It'll probably be in red, and it should identify which app showed the message.
Hope that helps.
Update:
Your comment said that it didn't help. I don't know any specific tools to monitor what app is downloading.
I have used SystemPanel before to monitor the overall phone system. It will shows you upload/download network traffic for the whole phone, and it can also show you what apps are active.
Turn on monitoring in the app, go through the process again to get the error message, then check out which processes show as active during that period.
You might be able to find the culprit that way.
Some screenshots of SystemPanel:

With historical usage of an individual process, you might be able to correlate with the network traffic.
