Using the phone's browser, when I try to download from sites like Filesonic or Wupload I end up getting the file as a tiny .htm file instead of it's original intended file type. I have the app "download all" but it doesn't help.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

I have download all. Still downloads files as .htm.
And I like using the standard browser, so I would like another way of doing this without having to have Opera installed just purely for downloading from those sites.

This. It's what I use for downloading from such sites, more often than not Filesonic.

Or go to the market and search type Downloads and the first app should be download all files and enable it and you will be able to download everything with stock browser

Same issue, tried using the download all app and still end up with a tiny .htm file. I have been using opera to dl this kind of thing and it works ok, just prefer stock browser for everything else.

Thanks for the tip but even with this option enabled, no dice. It really isn't the end of the world, I did look into this before and couldn't find solution. It may be some obscure setting I have enabled somewhere or other, just can't find it.
Some times download procedure doesn't work. Opera never fail.

Sadly thats how it works. Look for download all at marketing.
Sorry, im not used o xda app, didnt see this was solved.
Opera works for me
Theres been a few apps in the past that wasn't available in the market so I was able to get them from 4shared, but recently I haven't been able to download anything. When I select the app, it usually gives me a count down but now it does not...it just sits there. I just tried installing the snote apk that was linked which was 4shared and again I don't get an install or count down prompt..

I think they are requiring you to sign in now to get access to dl.
Ok, sorry. I had the same issue before and changed my browser and it worked.

What browser do u use?

Zip files are not native to the device and are not recognized as valid files. You need to download an app that recognizes zip files like estrong file explorer then try redownloading.

Is it that you can't dl any type of file? What about apps? I ran into a somilar problem with a HTC inspire. There was a folder to delete that fixed it. There's a post around here somewhere for that.

Not really sure if this is gonna work, try installing Astro file manager, then go to "preferences" (or "options", idk, I have the app in spanish) and select the option "Web browser downloader" (or something like that)
Since I did that, I don't remember having issues to download any kind of file.

Hello, I have a little problem on my Samsung Galaxy S2: when I try to download any app from some pages, I am often redirected to ad.fly pages, but then everything ends: the browser says that it can not open the page. Is there a way to make ad.fly pagea to work on android?

Do you have any adblocks enabled on your phone ?
If so disable it then try again the site.

No, I don't have any ad blocking program installed.

you know, where you don't have that problem? when you download apps from the play store instead of warez sites.

Yeah, but I don't have a credit card... And I don't want to pay so much money for every app

As Chef_Tony suggested, discussions related to warez is not allowed. Thread closed.
When I long press an MP3 link and select "Save Link" the download is always unsuccessful. It tries for about a second then fails. This is easily accomplished using the regular browser but I'd love to use Chrome.
Anyone else experience this? Any suggestions? Stock device. Not rooted.
Thank you
Try to download the mp3 by using your native stock brower

This is what I am currently doing but I just figured there has got to be a way to do it in Chrome. Must figure it out
Update chrome to the latest version? I have the same problem before but now it is fixed.
