Try. Going to the browser settings and clear cookies and cache. Then try downloading again.
Never had a problem with these myself.

I thought that the download tool from the standard browser is the problem because normally it isn't aloud by most of this sides to re-connect (I use another browser for such downloads like Firefox or Opera).
But i must wrong when I see that others didn't have here a problem

I know exactly what you are referring to, I had same issues here our devices won't be properly recognized at some sites on stock browser so clearing cashe or using alternative browser gets you around this. Also some sites will not allow access by proxy you would in fact have to use home IP or secured network.....I've downloaded alot straight to my flyer.

If that's true, then its a bummer, because this browser is otherwise pretty good. I hate to have to switch around.

This here, i tried xScope, Dolphin, Stock, and Skyfire, and the only browser to work consistently was Opera.
Also, on a side note, Opera is SO MUCH faster than any other android browser. Page scrolling is super smooth, and loads quick as hell. I was very surprised going to Opera on a whim to try it out.
Maybe its just me, but I don't see this as a big enough issue to drive my choice of browsers. If I have big files or lots of things to download I jump on my PC and drop them in my Dropbox so they are always there for my phones and tabs. Every browser has it quirks, even the desktops. The new browser in honeycomb is faster and has good integration with Chrome desktop. Coming soon will be Chrome for Android. It all depends on what creature features you like and are most comfortable with. I know it's annoying when you need something and it doesn't work but I don't do a lot of megaupload sharing from my tablet and when I have used it I haven't seen a problem with the stock browser.

It depends on your uses. For me, i usually use the tablet when my laptop is either doing something else, or out of reach, so i do everything on it. As such, alot of what i do, requires downloading from file hosting sites. You'd be surprised whats hosted on them
With that being said, downloading an apk on the laptop, then moving to dropbox and retrieving on tablet is a waste of time when it could take all of 30s to be done via the tablet to begin with.
The only thing that makes me hesitant to use a new browser is that i like how the stock one integrates with sense and all that. This is probably just me being petty, though.

Ive never used opera for file hosting sites but I do use firefox. I use to firefox nightly apks and it works like a charm. Firefox (fennic) is the best browser because it has the adblock plus. Also use auto pager if you use rlslog etc. Amazing.

Anybody using Opera Mobile with their flyer? I was wondering how it performs against the stock browser and whether or not you can view flash video with it.
I personally don't like the stock browser. Opera mobile performs better then it but Dolphin Browser HD is the best for the Flyer in my opinion
Sent from my HTC Flyer P512 using XDA Premium App
It is all I use
I'm an avid Opera fan, so Opera Mobile is a no brainer for me, it runs smooth, and after modifying the User Agent to desktop it makes for a great browsing experience - imo
Its free, so why not just try for yourself?

Yes I am aware. It just appears that most of the browsers out there are not fully honeycomb compatible. I switch HTC browser out for stock honeycomb I like the feel better
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using xda premium
I too have not been able to find the perfect browser for honeycomb.
So far dolphin is the best
Boat browser:
Great for GB
Crashes and slow in HC
Maxthon:
Slow flash support
Can't login to certain proxy sites
Dolphin HD
Fast flash
Many links don't do anything until you hold and click open or save
Opera:
Flash doesn't work
Stock:
Loads many pages in mobile view despite setting
All browsers:
White-screen slow refresh when pinch zooming
Laggy text input into online forms
Opera - work best on hc.
Stock - slow render & slow flesh.
Maybe I'm not understanding but I have no problem running flash on HC and Opera Mobile. I have tried all the browsers and keep coming back to Opera. Just today I have viewed numerous flash based sites and flash videos.
Looks like first honeycomb version of oper has lacks of flash support. But now everything ok.
Opera works fine
I've been using Opera for a few days now and it works fine. No issues with flash. I liked Firefox better, but they stopped supporting the tablet.

That option is called Opera Turbo. Its function is to provide compressed data to the browser to minimize data consumption, every request of the browser passes through an Opera server that compresses the data stream before sending it to your device. You can activate or deactivate it at will with Opera Browser, it's deactivated by default when you install the browser. Opera Mini is the one that doesn't have the option to switch Turbo off.
To me is the best browser by a fair margin, using desktop agent option and flash working great. I also love the option of the EXIT button to close and really unload the program from memory, every browser should have this option to avoid battery drain from pages that auto actualize in the background.

Bolt Browser is a light weight web browser, its been out for ages on Blackberry and a few other devices that can use java apps, it's a bit similar to Dolphin HD. When I was using it on my Blackberry Curve before I switched to Android it would crash all the time, but I used to persevere with it because it was the only way to get the full Facebook and Twitter sites on Blackberry.
It might be worth downloading. I'll download it and test it and report back if it is worth downloading or not.
Roland
It's a little laggy for me, but that could be due to it being in Beta atm. well worth a download though.
Roland
I am using this browser, somehow it opens much faster pages than opera mini and has its own IP server.

Dolphin HD Browser

Why is that your Favorite ?
I just started using xScope Pro, and I have to say I prefer this over any other browsers I have used including Dolphin and Opera.
If you don't want to give xScope a try, I would say go with Dolphin as a second choice.
why is that one good ?
I use the stock version, and Opera Mobile the most.
Never got into Dolphin/HD that much, and used to love Skyfire until they starting charging for using flash. Latest updates made Skyfire more buggy too...

Stock.
And yes, I tried to use pretty much every browser on the market... and I always come back to stock.
I'm also using stock.
It's the best. Everything is working...
Opera Mobile has been the best imo. Tabbed browsing made easy..flash..option for Desktop so no more redirecting to mobile sites. IMO Opera is the fastest i've used. Stock tabbed browsing sucks imo..and Dolphin HD seems a little slow to me..almost bloated. I've also used Dolphin Mini for the odd site..
I quite like Dolphin HD. I started using it as back ages ago I didn't have flash running on my android tablet unless I used this browser. IT kind of became my first choice on my phone. I also like the interface, the speed, and the finger gesture browsing.

Because Dolphin is quicker than the original browser and it's easier to switch between tabs...

I like the "feel" of xScope. I have found it to be the smoothest and by far the fastest browser I have used. Has just the right amount of options without going into overkill, and for me the tabbed browsing works best with xScope Pro.
At the end of the day it is all down to personal preference. I kept going back to stock, then Dolphin, then back to stock, yadda yadda..............Haven't wanted to go back to stock since I installed this one.
I'm currently using Dolphin HD also. I like the easier access to the tabs at the top. The speed dial home of DHD is very handy and convienent. I'm not into gesturing in any bit but I'm sure other people would ultilize it more than me.
I tried the Opera mini one but didn't like the "scrunched" up look of it. The website/pages didn't look right or how it's suppose to be.
I like the stock browser.. tried out dolphin browser and ut was really cool but it didn't seem ti perform as well for me
After trying them all I stuck with Skyfire as the fastest with all round compatibility with sites I was viewing. Though with the latest OTA update I have found the stock browser is meeting all my needs, though I don't browse the web a huge amount from my phone.

The CM7 browser is IMO the BEST browser out of any browser. I love how you can change user agents to MAC or Linux machine. Not all websites let you go to desktop, for instance if you want to run the actual flash speedtest.net without being dragged to the app you can. There are tons of other websites I'm just not thinking of. Plus the incognito mode is awesome
So I just tried XScope and I believe I am liking it instead of Dolphin so far.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Done a search but nothing of relevance came up in these forums.
Just got my phone today and so far just using the stock browser which seems ok but undoubtedly there are better browsers out there, i always used X-Scope on my SGSII but im a bit tired of that now and looking for something else,i hear Chrome for ICS is supposed to be very good, so what browser is everyone using then?
Chrome is not that great on s3 yet, it lags and has touch delays..stock browser is undoubtedly the best browser I have tried . It gets the work done. Only thing I don't like is how you manage tabs . Try dolphin browser, should run as stock but with some enchanced features

Well the built in browser works really nice, but i personally like
firefox and that you can use addons like adblock and so that i value
a lot personally.
Though I don't currently have the S3 yet, I'll probably use Boat Browser. Easy to use and has been the best I have used for my tastes. It'll be the fist I install when I get my S3.
Dunno where you heard that Chrome 'lags', that's definately not the case. Alright, you don't have Flash. I always thought of it as a huge drawback but I haven't missed it a single time and I've been using Chrome for Android since the very beginning.
It has great tab management, staggering performance and a brilliant look. One of the best things about it is the integration with your desktop Chrome (and all other versions of Chrome you might be using.) Open tabs are synced in real time so let's just say you want to open a link from your phone on your desktop. no more mailing it around, now you can just click on it on your desktop. The bookmark sync is great too. And it's Chrome.

Use Chrome. Also install Flashify. In the rare instance you launch a site that needs flash, just click share, flashify, then select an alternative browser. The page you were browsing is then opened for you.

Stock browser works well here.
Before I used Dolphin, but there's a bug or something. When double tapping to zoom in on an area on the page it always zooms in to the left of the page (instead of the area you double tap)
Do more people experience this bug?
Dolphin Mini - best interface, not a ton of features
Dolphin HD - alright interface, just works
Opera Mobile - most like a PC, best comparability with websites that give trouble, has hardware acceleration, super smooth
Stock - smoothest, least features, and has problems downloading certain types of files, or downloading at all from hosting websites
So most certainly the aosp browser ioiwillioi includes in senseless is much better than HTC's crap slow browser but still isn't the best browsing experience possible. I've recently been trying several browsers out and so far firefox seems the best but not without issues as for some dumb reason mozilla decided when it went out of beta that it was for phones only. It works and shows up in the market but it's a bit wonky as its not tablet optimized. I've tried various browsers but can't find the right one:
Opera: They update the thing all the time and still ignore the issues it had had for ages such as that annoying splash screen, and no android user agent. Also text input is broke
X scope: Rendered things weird and didn't seem that fast.
Skyfire: slow, I uninstalled fast
Dolphin for tablets : won't even run without force closing
Dolphin hd: its okay, but still slower than stock
Maxthon: slow
So I keep coming back to firefox and the stock which seem to be the best. I've been tweaking the flyer for performance recently and I'm about there if I could just find the right Web browser I'd be good. Any pure gpu accelerated browsers I'm missing?
