Ummm I have the stock browser with Astro installed and in the settings for astro it has an option to allow you to download all file types did you try that?
What filehosting service are you using?

Filesonic, Fileserve, Wupload... You name it.
And what has Astro to do with web browser?
EDIT: Didn't help.

Have you tried another Browser? It would help to know if it's a Browser specific issue after all.

Opera can download those files just fine. Dolphin obviously can't, since it's using stock kernel.

[Q]Browser download unsuccessful?

Hi,
I got my SGT a week ago and i tried downloading a few stuff from the stock browser (or any browser for that matter). i couldn't download anything from rapidshare or megashare or any other uploading site. also i tried downloading a .pptx file from google groups and also got the same message "<Untitled> download unsuccessful".
my phone (Nexus s) did manage to download it just fine.
Does anyone have a solution to that problem?
Thanks in advance,
Miki.

try renaming your download folder in /sdcard/ to another name and try downloading again.. the browser recreates the download folder and it seems to work for me again
I tried downloading opera and i managed to download the pptx file, but i couldn't download from file sharing because it counts the time for a few seconds and stops.
i also tried renaming the download folder but it didn't work.

Download astro file manager from the market (free!)
Go to preference, and tick 'enable browser download'

I use Byte Tornado (free from the market). Its an add-on for the default browser that allows it to download anything that it would not normally download. Really works quite well. Also works perfectly when downloading files from file sharing sites (mediafire, multiupload etc)

I use Opera Browser, the included download manager works like a charm.
I tried Bytetornado which is great but doesn't work on https pages (usefull if you have prenium account on host site or use fast-debrid for exemple).
Opera even let you choose where to download on your sd/card for each file (with no file extension's restriction), and ask you if you want to hide the download progress.
If you just need the download manager and have few ram less, you can use Opera mini.
Hope it helps

Browser downloads fail

If I try to download files to my browser through pretty much any share site, I either get download failed or a 1kb htm file. I know the solution to this is to install opera browser. Problem is, I like the stock browser especially now that its all synced up with my Google account. I have tried astro file manager (option to allow browser downloads and that didn't work either.
If the astro file manager thing didn't work maybe try Download All Files from the Play Store. And if that doesn't you could try a modded browser such as ICS Browser+, also in the Play Store.

more info required as which ROM are you on... GB/ICS...
although i dont think it makes a difference...
If on ICS stock brower... go to menu ...settings..advanced... default storage...
see if its selected to phone...(memory card only if you have one slotted in the phone)
i just checked a download from www.filehippo.com
works for me...
i dont think you need to use any other browser or app to download stuff...

[Q] HELP - Browser Issue Redirect (Hijacked?)

Hi,
I was wondering if you could help. Either Chrome or Stock Browser has the same issue. If i go to touch.facebook.com or m.facebook.com it just downloads a file and won't open the site. If I switch it to "Request a desktop site" and go to the same page, it will open the mobile version of the site. Ive tried deleting my hosts file and starting a fresh as well as clearing all data,cache,history and force closing both apps.
Still the same issue....
Any ideas?
Thanks!
