.txt files? - HTC EVO 3D

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.

[Q] rar files being downloaded as .bin

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.

Downloading files from phone

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.

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.

Is there an app to put files/folders into a zip or rar?

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.

[Question] can we get rar in our android phone

Hi friends,
I had tried to look for win rar in the market but I didn't get it.
what I want to do, I had took a video of my daughter which is 22mb long I wan to email that to my in-laws .
I was thinking to make a archive with win rar 10mb+10mb+2mb like we do with movies, so that I can email these archives.
do anybody know any alternative of win rar.????????
Hmmm you can download unrar, but that's only going to help decompressing. I suggest using dropbox or usb get it onto a computer and just use win rar from there..

If you have a file explorer installed, it will surely let you compress the file, then the easiest way to share it could be as suggested, dropbox or any file uploading pages (megaupload, rapidshare, etc...). That way you don't need to reduce the file to avoid attachment limits of your email.
Use Archidroid, it can make archives.

downloading a .txt in chrome

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.
