I'm sure in not the only world who has this problem. I can't download from places like rapidshare, hotfile, megaupload, etc from my phone. I just get the less than 1mb file that never starts downloading. What gives? How can I download this way?

Have you tried a different pc?
pretty sure is asking about his phone, lol. try a different browser or maybe a download manager
i have had the same problem just try different browsers
Even easier, from the stock browser, just long press the item and select open in new window.

I know what you are talking about and it is irritating! I also have issues with multiupload links and not being able to log in to my premium accounts because the login is either cut off on the screen or blacked out. The best browser for both these issues in my mind is opera 11. Its fast and I am about to use titanium to back it up so I dont have to renter my username and password for certain sites unlike the stock browser when I install a new rom you loose all of that. You are able to save your bookmarks but that's about it.
HTC Thunderbolt
s-off rooted
VirusROM RC1B2
OK awesome thanks for the suggestions. Ill try them out!

If that doesn't work you can try pulling the battery out while the phone is on. And then put the battery back in and turn it on. And/or go into menu> settings> applications> manage applications> all (tab) > scroll down to internet > hit clear data, and force stop. I know this helps me when my market tries to through a fit.

This may not be your problem, but make sure when you download from the market you are not connected through wifi. Some wifi networks block the download port. However other wifi networks are just fine. When im at home it works great but when im connected to the wifi at work it just sticks on downloading.

i am having same issue. i was only able to download one app at home
there after nothing can somebody please help
The same thing happens to me but only sometimes. It only happens when I try to download a ton of stuff at one time.
I post this every now and then, seems to help most.
open titanium backup, find Market
Click it, wipe data, two times if you like
still in TB, menu > more > Market Dr.
Go to the Market, accept policy
Menu > My apps
Profit?
Clearing cache/data will probably solve it, but if it doesn't use a similar vending.apk (its the market) and push it into system/app.
yeah, but I cant imagine everyone on the rom is having an issue with the Market. Data/Cache should do it. Maybe broken Market links (Mkt Dr.).
I have a problem where it doesnt start to download and i would have to go in and try to redownload it. Sucks but who know happened on a few roms i tried

I use an app called download all files(icon is blue box with white down arrow in market and free) that is an "auto app" that runs with your browser. So maybe if u get that and view the webpage gmail u can download any gmail attach. It may work with gmail app also bit I don't know. Worth a shot.
Edit::I know it comes up as a choice for what to use to download attachment when in gmail app. And it supports a lot of file types..try it out..I love having this small app take care of my download so I don't need another file manager that takes up cpu and ram running just to download files that I want
I will try later on, thanks

I have the very same question.
Don´t know why google put such limitations in gmail app. But Download all files did not help.
Anyone have another sugestion?
Thanks in advance!
Search market for download Gmail attachment.
I saw one before. Might have been downdroid.
But download all files SHOULD work. At least it does for me ...
Go to the market and search for "Download All Files." This app lets you download anything through the browser and Gmail. It's worked for me so far.
Echo echo echo lol
I have been using download all files ever since I rooted my phone. I didn't want to have to download astro just to download roms and found that app.
I have used it multiple times to save attachment from my Gmail also.
Pretty sure you just long press the attachment after you have "download all files" app installed.
it works on its own. You do not need to open it at all. Its is like a plug in/add on type of app
Download all files really don´t work for me. Don´t know why.
The app is installed, I long press the file in gmail and nothing happens.
Still looking for another one.
Wondering why I can't download any roms to my phone, goto mega upload to get the new rom and it says download unsuccessful.could do it with my infuse, am I missing something, sure I'm being dumb...on unnamed 1.03

No problem here downloading the rom using megaupload or any other
file sharing site using my phone.
There is a folder on the root directory of the internal sdcard called
".downloadTemp" thats where the file gets downloaded to.
The default browser works best for me not only in downloads but in general.
I am using gtg's unNamed v1.0.3 rom right now.
I have downloaded many files from Internet since getting this new phone.
Good luck!

Sometimes the stock browser can be flakey when it comes to downloads. You can try clearing cache and user data, and anything else to reset the browser and that might fix it for you.
But the easiest fix is to just use a different browser, dolphin its the one I use.
Not that the stock browser is not a good one, but I could never get it to consistently download everything either. It would seem like I would toy with it for days to get it to work, then a day later it would be picky about what file types it would download again.
And last little note if your interested in this stuff, it seems the dolphin browser is the fastest browser at rendering java script we have available on Android (although the speed is not way better, it is a little better)

Don't use the default browser, download using opera always works. Look fire opera in market. It's a wonderful substitute for the stock browser with better interface as well.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
I've used a few browsers beginning back in January and I have to agree that Opera is by far my favorite. I've used Miren, Dolphin, xScope and I think a few others and have found Opera to be the best for what I do. I don't need all of the customization options that some of the browsers provide and Opera loads quickly and easily; as well as allowing me to download the files I want to download.
If you want to download using the stock browser go to the market and download a small app called, download all files. Once installed, it allows the stock browser to save any file. Works great for me

I had some issues earlier today where Megaupload wouldn't let me download the complete file. Even to my desktop. It kept getting stuck between 80 and 90%. I had to give it a couple of hours then it worked. You may try to download a download manager from the Market as well.
stock browser seems flaky to me. usually it works, but every now and then it wont let me dl a program/app/file. like others have suggested maybe try another browser. sometimes if i restart the phone i can grab the file that failed the 1st time
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.

How do I get dedicated apps (YouTube, Play Store) to open links and not the browser/chrome?
The only way I have found it to work is to not have a browser installed. On my tablet links open up the apps but with this phone the browser takes over.
The settings don't mean anything and no prompt even comes up when clicking a link asking what app I want to use to open said link, it just goes to the default browser automatically.
It like this on three ICS roms I've used.

Go to settings>apps>all go to the app called internet and make sure that you tap "Clear Defaults" then go into the browser and click a YouTube link and see if that works.
I am having the same problem. The recommendation.above does not work for me. I am using CleanRom Pro. The problem appears to be caused by the "App Association" settings where links are directed to the internet app and other possible apps (for certain links like YouTube or GooglePlay) are not listed. As far as I can tell, there is not a manual way to add apps to the various actions. Can anyone recommend a different ICS ROM that doesn't use this faulty "App Association" setting?
Its like that with Nils ROM as well.
I am surprised nobody else has this problem.

I know this thread is old but I'm still having the same issue. I'm running the stock ROM for my HTC Vivid and I also have the same issue. I don't think the problem is related to the ROM. Anyone made any headway with this issue?
