Hi everyone,
I'm trying to find a browser that will allow me to download files to my SD card but I'm having no luck finding one. Opera allows downloads, but there is no way to make it download in \sdcard-ext\ it only DLs to the phone memory which is no good for large files.
How can I download files to the \sdcard-ext\ folder?
thx
David
I usually don't bump my own threads but...
Are there any Atrix users out there that know how to download a file via web browser to the removable sdcard?
Dolphin Browser HD
Just set your download directory in settings to the correct path (sdcard-ext instead of sdcard)
Yup Dolphin lets you set the DL dir to anything you want which is great, but I have trouble getting Dolphin to DL from many web sites, specifically ulozto.cz which is a Czech movie file sharing site.
To see what I mean do this:
1. Using Dolphin, go to ulozto.cz
2. Search for "bastardi"
3. click "stahnout" (which means download)
4. type in the 4 letter captcha code to start DL
...the download never starts w/Dolphin. By the way this site does work w/Opera, but Opera can DL to sdcard-ext...
thanks anyway and if you have any more ideas I'd love to hear them...
I'm having this issue myself. When I try downloading a large file after a while I get a error "source could not be found". Smaller files will download sometimes sometimes they wont. Any reason why downloading to a pre installed SD doesn't seem to work? I set up dolphin HD to my extra SD. Seems to work but have yet to download a large file.
This app will let you download whatever you want:

Thanks, I'll try it tonight...
The app "Download All Files" did not work for me. Did you try it on the website I listed above?

Hey guys, i'm looking for a download manager that will allow me to specify a download location when downloading files from my web browser. I'm currently using Miui Browser and/or xScope but its annoying to have to move files to a storage directory every time I download something and the browser only use a default directory for all downloads.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Hello,
I've Urukdroid 0.7 installed on the SD card of my Archos 70.
I would like to upgrade to 1.0.
Following the wiki I've to download a file UrukDroid-1.0-upgrade.tbz2 but when I go with the default web browser of Archos on the link provided in the wiki, the web browser opens me an "ugly" text page will all strange alphanumeric caracters in place of proposing me a pop up to download the file.
Any idea how to solve that?
Rookie question...
Thanks for reading...
Vincent
Longer press on link and then "save link"
I had the same issue yesterday
This is because the browser dont know the *.tbz2 file, so the browser open the file as a text document (standart option)
You have to do this with the "fix" from the first poster
Or (if you have dolphin browser hd) you open the site and klick on
menubutton>>more>>save page

First thanks to you two for your fast answers.
I don't have installed yet the market in Urukdroid mode then no Dolphin.
I pressed long then save link then I've a file UrukDroid-1.txt of 139Mb.
I renamed it with the right full name. I copy it with the default file manager in a directory UrukUpdate I created by myself under Android/data that is displayed in "Internal" even if I install UD06 on my SD card...
When I ask to force update via urukconfig, it says that no file found in /data/UrukUpdate.
Knowing that during the installation of UD06 on my SD card, I said No to copy the data, is it normal that /Android/data is under internal and that no /data/UrukUpdate exists?

1) You can download free apps also under freewarelovers.com
Link to download Dolphin Browser is :
http://www.freewarelovers.com/hotlinkmenot/temp/62535a/1300039853_Dolphin_Browser_HD_4.5.0.apk
2) You have to this with a root file manager (not the /data directory in the "normal" file manager (this file manager only check the /storage directory ))
You can download AndRootFile (the best free i know) here:
http://andbox.googlecode.com/files/AndRootFile_3.0_beta_signed.apk
Hope i could help you

Aahh, no problem
When i bought my 101 at New Years Eve i have had the same (maybe noob) questions as you, but if you reading a little bit here on xda you will learn a lot about this stuff
Have Fun!
I've tried several browsers including the stock one and am yet to find a solution to this problem. It seems that when I download from sites that use a form of redirecting the url, like some file hosting sites that the browser simply downloads a .bin or .html file rather than the apk or whatever file im trying to download.
I've tried dolphin hd, stock browser and firefox with no success. Any ideas?
Cheers!

Thanks but the problem still persists. I should also mention that when clicking these types of links that the page simply seems to stop loading. This only happens on these type of links so I don't think it's a connection issue.
Have the same problem..it must be some solution...
Astro File Manager. Enable the option for Stock browser download. Besides, Opera can download just anything.
Regards.

Nah that didn't work either, I don't think its a problem with file types but rather how the stock browser deals with re-directed urls.
Hi,
Did you try firefox for android?
I had the same problem firefox should sort it out for ya

It seems that only solution is to use Opera..with this browser problem is solved..it can download everything..but still stays question how to download files with stock browser?
Yes with Opera it can be downloaded everything..also with Dolphin HD it is impossible to download such files..
Hey Guys, I'm a newbie so be gentle. First off, this website is the best. Thanks for lost of tips and tricks. OK, I've rooted my NT. Where do the downloads go? I can't find them in any Nook folder? Can I specify where to put downloads? Since I rooted am I not seeing some folders? I've download pdfs from the web and I've downloaded epub from my library via Digital Editions adn I can't see either on the NT. Thanks.
Usually, when you download through a browser they go into /sdcard/download.

Whenever I download from the stock browser they end up here:
media/My Files/My Downloads in the root directory of the tablet
You might need to download an alternative launcher I personally use go launcher
Greetings...How do u get to media/My Files/My Downloads?...
Or how do u navigate through the different directories for that matter?...
Thank you...
use ESFileExpolorer to navigate through your /media folders...
Thank you mac4rfree for the feedback...I've installed it and poked around, but don't have a full understanding of what I'm doing or navigating it...Is there a tutorial that can walk me through how to use it, what it does, etc.?...
Thanking you...
My downloads with Dolphin go into the dolphin downloads folder.
Bill
@thesal,, first go to settings clicking on menu button,,,, then you cann add "/" as home directory,,, if you want to write files to the root, then check on root checkbox... hopeful that will give u a start
check out their site too..

Hello,
I have a problem with downloading files from hosting sites such as rapidgator, hellshare etc. On default browser and on Google Chrome files aren't downloading at all or there is downloaded a file which has for example 26kb or so, while I am trying to download files about 400-700mb. On Opera Mobile the files are downloading, but if I will minimize the browser and start any other app, the downloading process is stopped. I am really surprised with that because a few months ago I also had HTC Desire Z and I could've download any file with the stock browser and. while downloading, check any app I wanted.
I have Asus Transformer Pad 300 with Android ICS (newest update). When I download files about 10mb everything is ok, so I assume it's the size problem or maybe file extension, but I tried the app called All files download (or something like that) which has been recommended in a similar post (but that user had SGS3) and it didn't helped either.
Any suggestions?
Hey, anyone knows what could possibly be the problem? I really need to download files
