Is there any way to download any file with any extension? For some reason I'm not able to download any .rar files or other weird extensions. I remember astro allowing you to download anything you want when I had my g1, but no luck getting it to work on this phone. Any suggestions or ideas?

Get astro, then open it and go to settings and make sure t has enabled browser download

you can do the same thing with linda file manager also... like said before just make sure that browser DL patch is checked...
Yup that worked for me. Thanks guys.

It might be that the apk file is corrupted or it is not really an apk file. I have instances where android told me that content is not supported while downloading an apk file as it is in the .bin file format. All I did is just to download and change the fipe type to apk to make it work.

I've had nothing but trouble transferring apk's through any browser on android, bluetooth, or even link in a text message.
But rename the extension to '.jpg' or some other regularly sent extension and it works almost everytime.
Frustrating work around, but a work around none-the-less.

Use a different browser besides the stock one. Try dolphin or miren browser.

True... but one thing nobody told you, was...
Go to Astro (file Manager), and go to it's preferences (menu > More), there is an option to Enable Browser Downloads.
THIS is what most places recommend, including the latest SwiftKey Beta.
or google download crutch, it will let you download anything on your phone. least it used to on my g1. never had a problem d/l'ing anything on my vibrant.

eg: astro file manager, file expert etc..

Ya this is the best app for transferring any file format(even .apk).
Yeah, android considers them as protected files(?) So, you can't send them, so are apk's.

thanks for all answers..
ill try to DL that one coz im using OI File Manager which is an stock File Manager of O1.. Thanx alot
wooow! nice app =)
Since android sucks at downloading all file types, what are you guys using to download those files that dont download with the stock browser?
I've tried astros download all files option and i still cant download anything.
I think i also tried download all files and that doesnt work either.
Its just a pain in the ass when i have to go home and downloadnfiles on my computer than tranfer to my phone

I download any file fine. Some websites don't get along, but I can download any file type fine, but that is if the website gets along lol. There are times when it comes out as a .bin file. That is easily fixed by just renaming it to whatever file extension it was supposed to be.

Same here, I never have a problem trying to download anything. I did have a problem verifying captchas once, but I just switched browsers. I had the problem in Opera Mini, but it was fixed as soon as I started using the stock browser. What are you trying to download?
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
I use Opera when the stock browser won't do it.
When I had my cappy I could download apk and zip files and stuff that people posted on the forums while browsing on my phone. I can't do that anymore. It just keeps saying download unsuccessful. It is kind of a paint to see something I want then have to go to the computer. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to change something in the settings? Thanks for any input.

Do you have a folder in the internel sdcard named DOWNLOAD ?
If not create it and try downloading again. (using default browser).
You should be able to download anything off of internet.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck!
Try downloading "download all files" from the market, it allows the stock browser to download any file type

I checked for the download folder and it was there. I downloaded that app from the market and that did the trick. I am not sure why I never had to do that on my captivate. Maybe it was the rom I was running. Thanks for the help, guys.

I have the same problems with downloads being unsuccessful with the stock browser. But on all other browsers our seems to work fine. I just copy paste the link into a different browser if I want to download something. Dolphin and opera both work fine.
