Hey guys I need some help. I go to a site that is password protected, I login, and then when I try to download a file (zip file), it just says download failed every time. I'm assuming this is because the downloadprovider apk doesn't use the cookie that says I'm logged in, so the site doesn't let me download it.
I can get this to work by using Opera. But with any other browser I can't get it to work. I don't like using Opera, so how can I get around this?

Even saving the header image results in a failed download.
I've also tried entering http://user:[email protected]/file.zip into the URL bar without success

Can you use FTP? ftp://x:[email protected]
If yes, just download Total Commander/Ghost Commander from GPlay, and connect to it by that app.
Just tried your suggestion but it doesn't work. I just can't figure out why

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.

Just tried both ideas but its still not working thanx anyway
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

Use opera mobile, not the other one..

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.
Everytime i download something off the internet it keeps saying file not supported and only way i can get it to work is to reboot, any thoughts

Please provide more info such as rom, root, unlocked/locked, type of files, etc. It will help you get answered quicker.
Not rooted basically factor

Try another browser. ie boat or dolphin or opera you get the point

What type of files are you trying to open?
Try opera mobile.works great for me.

If you plan on sticking with the stock browser, download from the market an app called "download all files". Its free, no root required, and will solve file type incompatibility issues.
As others mentioned, a 3rd party browser would also do the trick.
Dolphin downloads anything and much better than stock app

Possibly a dumb question, but are you having trouble downloading files or opening them? I ask because your OP doesn't say "when I TRY to download"
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
I had this problem. When I would dl something, like a pic or pdf, it would say failed or not supported. I hard reset the phone and formatted internal and the sd card. Problem stopped.

This should have been a no-brainer
For whatever reason I've avoided the alternate browsers thinking they surely wouldn't offer the ability to download the types files I wanted...I've been liberated in 3 minutes with the Dolphin browser.
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.
