Whenever I download a rar file, it just shows up as a .bin on both the notification bar and in root explorer. Is there a setting I need to change to allow rar files tobe downloaded?

There's no reason why you would need to, usually just changing the extension works for me.
*note* there has to be something in front of the .bin for it to work in a lot of cases "randomname.bin" for example

You shouldn't even have to change the extension. I use unrar pro, point to the file using estrongs file explorer and it extracts the contents.

I have Root Explorer installed on my phone, but I get file not supported on this device error messages when I try to download zip files. Any idea why I can't do this with this files manager but I can with other file managers?

Maybe its not a supported feature? Astro and Linda have the ability. .. or maybe there is an option to enable it?

It has the ability to create and extract zip files, but I didn't know if it was a matter of having to create an extension or whatever to allow the phone to download zip files. I am using AndroZip until then.
I have searched the Market and Google but cannot find the app I need.
Basically, I am looking for an app where I can put files and folders into a zip or rar file, and password protect them.
Does anyone know of such an app?
Thanks

Haven't used it for a long time but give a try to ES File Explorer.
Rot explorer will let you zip up files but I'm not sure about the password protect part.
Have you tried androzip?
Edit: I just checked and androzip will allow you to put a pw on zip files. Its free in the market as best as I can remember.

When I go to mediafire or zippyshare to download files with bytetorn it always downloads as .txt files. Does anyone know why? Or how I can fix it. Thanks in advance!

Use opera browser.
I always use FireFox for my downloading. Had several problems where opera wants downloading files just getting html files.
If you didn't know this then you can just rename the .txt file to what ever ext that it should be. So if you were downloading an music.mp3 and it downloaded as music.txt then you can rename the .txt to .mp3 and the file should be fine.

It wouldn't open them. Only had option to open with reader, or html.file editor. Trying FireFox now. Thanks for the info guys.

Why my phone don't read the bootanimation files zipped by me?
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda premium
Did you manually placed the zip folder in /system/media/ or tried to flash the zip folder through recovery mode ?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I placed the original bootanimation.zip in system/media or in data/local. It works. If I unzip this file and zip them again the phone don't read this .zip.

The bootanimation has to zipped in "store" form, and not"compress" form...
If you compress, it won't work...

How can I make a zip file without compression? I've zipped automatically with winzip or with Root Explorer.

Use a tool called Boot Animation Creator !
That's much easier
Cheers
Thank you. I've resolved all. With Root Explorer must create a tar archive without compression and rename the file .tar in bootanimation.zip
With winzip must before specified "none" on compression setting
Thank you again!

Sorry, with root explorer it's not possible. Erroneously I've placed another .zip.
But with winzip it's possible. I made a custom animation with a personal movie. It works great!

.info files are designed for computers so I don't think you have one on your mobile.
