With Dolphin-HD I can download Zip files and others, but not all.
Install an app that opens Zip and Rar files, then you should be able to download them. Like a filebrowser.
i was able with firefox.
with the original internet app i couldn't.

Thanks fyi, gonna try it.
"Download all files" (get it @market) should do the trick, still haven't tried it though!
I'm using Download All Files and it's working flawlessly.

I tried to download apk files such as the Gingerbread KB on one of the threads, and I get the following ..."Cannot download. The content is not supported on this phone". It's not the first file I was not able to download. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?
Thanks in advance,
Brian
I have the same problem with the stock browser.. I started using opera browser and it works so far

By default, installing non-market .apk's is not allowed.
However, if you use a tool called SuperOneClick, you can enable the use of non-market apps. Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960336
Also, this isn't the right section for a question like this, this forum is for developers working on the phone.
I use astro file manager to allow browser download

I did that when I rooted the phone. Thanks
I got the comment and it was correct
I was trying to download an unsigned .zip file. I'm rooted and can download .apk files.
I guess the browser blocks it by default. I'm sorry about the bad advice, I don't use the stock broswer.
I can confirm that you can download .apk files with mobile Firefox.

This is what I use as well. Download astro file manager, go to preferences and choose allow browser downloads- this will allow you to download apk files and other file types from the stock browser.

If you are trying to download from and XDA attached file, it wont work, xda doesnt pass the right mime type for apks for whatever reason.
Moved to Q&A as not android development
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.

Probably a dumb question, but I searched and can't find the answer...I am trying to download a.txt file in chrome and it keeps opening a new window and showing me the contents..I need to remove the .txt extension and put the file in my system directory for a fix on vvm. I would just copy and paste and save it in a new file but I don't know what kind of program to save code in. Thanks for your help

Try downloading in the normal android browser. I'm pretty sure that it will download properly there.

I've downloaded several android apps and when extracted the file is an .exe (windows) file instead. This is more common than I like. I download my apps from my usenetserver.
What, if anything, can I do with these .exe files to get them installed on my android device?

These files usually come compressed in zip format, as well.

You've downloaded the apk from a warez site (of course), right!?

From Usenetserver. Via NewsLeecher.
Here is one of the links I'm trying to download and install today. It has an exe extension where I expect an apk.
