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

Yes with Opera it can be downloaded everything..also with Dolphin HD it is impossible to download such files..

Hi
Have backed-up all my Firefox bookmarks on the computer to a HTML-file and copied it to the E10i.
What I wanted was to use it as a start page on the Mini's browser.
But...
I can't get to work.
Astro finds the file and opens it in a HTML-viewer that only opens the links in the web browser.
Having the paid version of Astro file manager and the E10i's (latest FW, unrooted) original web browser.
Is there a way to open HTML-files from the browsers address field. So I can bookmark the file and select it as the start page?
Or is it time to move to other apps?
Would love some help as I really would love to have the same bookmarks in both the comp and the E10i. Also using all links in a HTML-file makes updating easy.
Acessing HTML files from stock web browser adress field
It's too easy. If you already have Astro installed, just point your browser to:
content://com.metago.astro.filesystem/sdcard/yourfile.html
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now replace "yourfile.html" as you need. To use subdirectories, you just need to add before of "yourfile.html" the respective(s) subdirectory(ies) where is your file "subdirectory1/subdirectory2/yourfile.html".
I hope that helped you.
Sorry my bad english.
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?
Is it possible to download files like zip and rar from the sgs2 because everytime i try it just fails thanks

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.

"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.

Just type the link in your browser and it will start downloading
At me he will put the downloaded files in "/sdcard/download".

Just use the standard browser, although I think most browsers will do the same.
If your browser doesn't do it you might should try opera.

You can copy the URL that you got from the .mp4 in the adress bar from the browser.
So you open your browser and where you normally typ in the website for example "www.xda-developers.com" you type your URL from the .mp4

Hello, and thanks for entering!
For certain problems with my phone I have no way to install an apk since I have no file browser, or wifi, or bluetooth, etc.
Now, is there any way to install an application alternately?
Thanks in advance!
Install using adb
Try downloading the app on your pc and install it using adb.

Of course, the main problem I have is that neither does the USB detect me ... Am I ruined?
If you have a browser installed, you probably don't need a file browser, just download an apk from any website, and open it from the downloading list in the browser. you may start with a file manager.
