Use another browser like opera or skyfire.
Astro filemanager also has functionality built in but optional iirc didn't use astro for a long time.
I always use dolphin for the same stupid reason.
Moreover its better than stock browser.
You can use Astro File manager to disable this "protection"
That's the only reason I have Astro installed lol.
Thank you!!

Is there any way to download any file with any extension? For some reason I'm not able to download any .rar files or other weird extensions. I remember astro allowing you to download anything you want when I had my g1, but no luck getting it to work on this phone. Any suggestions or ideas?

Get astro, then open it and go to settings and make sure t has enabled browser download

you can do the same thing with linda file manager also... like said before just make sure that browser DL patch is checked...
Yup that worked for me. Thanks guys.

I always download to my pc, then transfer to the phone with usb cable, or dropbox.

No problem here downloading the rom using megaupload or any other
file sharing site using my phone.
There is a folder on the root directory of the internal sdcard called
".downloadTemp" thats where the file gets downloaded to.
The default browser works best for me not only in downloads but in general.
I am using gtg's unNamed v1.0.3 rom right now.
I have downloaded many files from Internet since getting this new phone.
Good luck!

Sometimes the stock browser can be flakey when it comes to downloads. You can try clearing cache and user data, and anything else to reset the browser and that might fix it for you.
But the easiest fix is to just use a different browser, dolphin its the one I use.
Not that the stock browser is not a good one, but I could never get it to consistently download everything either. It would seem like I would toy with it for days to get it to work, then a day later it would be picky about what file types it would download again.
And last little note if your interested in this stuff, it seems the dolphin browser is the fastest browser at rendering java script we have available on Android (although the speed is not way better, it is a little better)

Don't use the default browser, download using opera always works. Look fire opera in market. It's a wonderful substitute for the stock browser with better interface as well.

I've used a few browsers beginning back in January and I have to agree that Opera is by far my favorite. I've used Miren, Dolphin, xScope and I think a few others and have found Opera to be the best for what I do. I don't need all of the customization options that some of the browsers provide and Opera loads quickly and easily; as well as allowing me to download the files I want to download.
If you want to download using the stock browser go to the market and download a small app called, download all files. Once installed, it allows the stock browser to save any file. Works great for me

I had some issues earlier today where Megaupload wouldn't let me download the complete file. Even to my desktop. It kept getting stuck between 80 and 90%. I had to give it a couple of hours then it worked. You may try to download a download manager from the Market as well.
stock browser seems flaky to me. usually it works, but every now and then it wont let me dl a program/app/file. like others have suggested maybe try another browser. sometimes if i restart the phone i can grab the file that failed the 1st time
I have Covenant Eyes on my Sensation, and it only monitors the stock browser... But the problem is that the stock browser sux... So i wanted to know is there is anyway i can make chrome like my stock browser (my phone is rooted so i can uninstall the original stock browser, but when doing that and moving chrome to system/app it still didnt help...)
Thx,

The easiest way to do this is to go into settings, then manage applications, then find the stock browser and select clear defaults. Then the next time you open a link or browse a web page it should give the option to use either chrome or the stock browser for these actions, click the box that says use this by default. Then click on chrome and you should be good to go
That dont help.... I need Covenant eyes to think chrome came on my phone and not the stock browser....

This seems like a harder work around than its worth if you haven't figured it out yet.. Why not just install a different app that's does the similar thing however actually allows chrome to be monitored?
Hi, just a quick question. Why is it that I'm unable to fully download files from media fire on most browsers but I am able to fully download files from Opera browser.
For an instance, I was downloading a ROM file on my the stock browser, but after just a few seconds they say the download is done, I tried downloading on other browsers but it doesn't work except for Opera browser. Why is this so?
I tried certain browsers like the stock aosp browser, Samsung stock browser, dolphin browser, naked browser, Firefox browser etc but all are unable to fully downloaded the files I want from media fire.
Thanks in advance

I think this is a problem which is a bit hard to understand at all
Maybe script/coding of page related.
I only recognized that some services/providers work with some browser but not with another one.
So I recommend u to find the browser u like at most and also install another one, which u can use if u have any problems with downloads or logins.
I thinks that u have to live with, at least u don't find a browser which supports all sites u need

Firefox has flash support and desktop user agent. I use it when I need flash and works well, though I use chrome (when I don't need flash) most of the time.

Try out Dolphin Browser. If you use the jet pack as well it's really fast but slightly unstable (getting better though) it's still nice without jet pack.
She could sideload the flash APK without being rooted and use the stock browser. Just make sure unknown sources is checked in dev settings.
