    I done this couple of times, but the app still wants to download additional data, and after a few moments it shows that there is no network, or lost connection.
    (My internet is perfectly fine)
    What is wrong?

    Thank you for this infomative post, however, I cannot even install it fully. I get the error during the installation the first dialogue box says, “Downloading data. Please wait for a few seconds…
    Then shortly after that is when I get the next dialogue box it says, “Connection error. Check your internet connection.

    I’ve tried several APKs and get the same errors every time. After those messages it force closes. Any help is appreciated. Thanks again for this information in case I can ever get it installed and need to fix the issue described in this article. You are appreciated.

    Michael.

    The app is shut down, it’s on the server side on whoever hosted showbox. Spread the bad news.

    same problem – “Connection erro. Check your internet connection” .
    It appears the showbox site has finally been taken down for piracy.
