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.

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 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.

Hello,
i am using APP Inventor, but it put my question as general from Android.
How can i directly download a file from WEB without the browser try to open it.
I i put a url like: privatesite.blablabla/image.jpg
he will put the image in the browser, because browser can load the file and show it on screen, but i want to download it without reading it.
I need that to put inside App inventor, but if it's possible to do it in HTML or other, that's ok, i think i can make app inventor run an external application.
Thank a lot

Well, you can do it programmatically, so maybe an app can do this, with a page in which you just put the url and it gives you the possibility to retrieve the file in your filesystem.

You might find a good way to solve it using cURL, which also has been ported to Android.
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.

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