I just jailbroke my iPhone 5

I have not managed to install anything.

Have you?

Yes.

The servers are getting a lot of traffic, hit hard, so there will be errors, etc. Give it time. Either keep trying, or just wait.

About 70 thousand people have installed tweaks, unfortunately, the other 179 thousand people are having trouble

Since I am new to the Jailbreak I have been taking the time to scope out apps/themes that catch my interest so when I finally can download apps I know exactly what I need to download.

I got Bite SMS installed before the servers were totally overloaded. It take some time and a few times retrying.

Just give it a little time and hope that people calm down a bit :). I am hoping to get some more tweaks but haven't had any luck past Bite SMS...but Bite is the MAIN reason why I jailbreak.

I wonder why most of us can get bite and not anything else.

Yes. It's easy if you use the hint I listed below. Don't install big groups packages. Grab the smaller pieces.

Start with mobile substrate
Libhide
Preferenceloader
Weeloader
Activator

THEN install the apps you want. Lots of other apps require some of those. If they don't load, the app won't either. This is why you'll see bitesms download and not install.

Save yourself, and the servers, a lot of hassle using this tip.
