[Q] Files Download In .htm Format instead of .zip - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I download .zip files through different websites, they download as .htm files instead. I am not sure if this is a settings issues. Is there anyway I can get the browser to download in the .zip format?

Nope, it's something I have had since my first android phone. Changing user agents doesn't fix it either. You mean file-hosting sites right? Because it aaaaalwaaaays happens at those damn sites

The file browser is not responsible for the actual format of the file that is downloaded, but it is possible that it's misinterpreting the file due to how it is sent from the web server.
When this happens, have you tried renaming the file from .htm to .zip?

I just tried it and it said something like no program to open to file. Yes it's from file hosting sites.

Typical problem with file hosting sites even on Windows file sent as html .

To check out what is going wrong..after you have flashed either check recovery log under advanced settings or after booting go into cache/recovery and check last install log
