Anybody else having issues trying to download the files for this game?

I haven't tried it. Looking at the reviews, it seems everyone is though.
According to Droid gamers you can download the extra data from http://db.tt/PPre4cBJ and just extract it to SD/Android/data . Note that I haven't tried this yet. Some people complain of slowdown so I want here from somebody else with DInc2 first.

The SD files do download, they just take a long while to begin downloading, so it looks like the phone isn't doing anything for a period of time. Once it starts, it still takes a while.
Port is really great btw. For those who don't know, it was built on a new engine created by a very talented fan game maker named Taxman (Christian Whitehead). His engine is very advanced and customizable, and the game was rebuilt with loving care to detail. Now supports widescreen natively without any of the visuals having been cropped or whatnot. It also includes both the original Japanese soundtrack as well as the different US soundtrack, whichever you prefer. It basically has everything, you can now even play as Tails as unlockable.
For those who have never played this- it's generally considered a contender for best Sonic game ever. It was originally released on the short lived Sega CD- an expansion you could hook into the Sega Genesis during the 90s. It was ported to different systems several times, but the version currently being released for all the different gaming platforms this week is the definitive version. This includes this Android version (though it's also on iOS, PC, Xbox 360, and PS3). If you're interested in this series at all, try it out. The touch controls are incredibly responsive too. Nothing complex either, just a dpad and one button (as well as a pause button).

Bit the bullet and got it. Had to manually install the files, but after that I must say it does work really well, and it controls great - better then the sonic games do on gensoid. If you're a sonic fan at all and aren't planning to get one of the other versions, its well worth the 2$.
Only minor bug I've seen is that sometimes when there's a sound effect the music will fade out and then fade back in. I never played the original though (never got a sega cd, which in retrospect was probably good, given the lack of games...), so I don't know if that's a flaw inherant to the game or not.

as I know , this is a port for sonic 1 which didn't have the charge spin yet
Sonic 1 and Sonic CD are totally different games.
That said there is an option in settings where you can change how the spin dash works. In Genesis mode you hold down and press the action button repeatdly. Where in original you hold down and just hold the action button.

Took 4 hours over 4G, but got it to download. Was for sure worth the wait.
i have the same issue as you which have no sound effect on my galaxy tab
the intro movie have music then all silence in the game....which make this game worthless.... hope they could fix this
Down + A to charge spin. Some devices seem to like tapping A to spin. Some devices with wonky multi-touch would work better with holding down and then holding A.
Also for those of you having issues with the download, use the links in this thread to manually download and transfer over to your device. I'll put the game on my Evo 3D later to see if I can get sound to work.
So, I just installed it onto my Evo 3D. Sound works fine, but I downloaded the extra download via a computer from the provided link and installed the /files directory provided in the /sdcard/Android/data/com.sega.soniccd/ directory. When you extract the RAR file, it creates a lot of com.sega.soniccd folders, you just need it to be in one.
I think those of you that are having sound issues have a corrupt download.
Oh, and the charged spin can be difficult if your device doesn't handle multi-touch too well.
