Downloading large files to storage card errors?

I was going to use my Tilt to download Vista SP1 at work the other night since the connection is much faster than mine at home.
I first tried Netfront 3.5 which gave a file could not be read error after about 1 minute.
Next I tried IE. I brought up the page and clicked download. It popped up and asked if I wanted to open the file after it finished. I clicked no to that then selected save as. I direct the file to be stored on my storage card and not the main system memory.
After about 5 minutes I get a beep and it says that I'm low on memory. Now I free'd up 1.2GB and the file is only 726MB. Are downloads saved to temp on the main memory before they finish then transfer to the micro SD?
If so how can I fix this. I have a rather small download cap at home and my jobs internet is ultra fast in comparison to mine. I really want to be able to download files like this if possible. This is one of the reasons I got the phone and I'm now rather disappointed that I can't download larger files.
Any programs out there that manage a download direct to the storage card or some other setting I can change to make this work?

Do search for "Advanced Config", and in that tool there is a way to change the temperary internet file location. I would imagine that the file is first caching itself into that folder (like normal windows) and then trying to copy it over to the flash card.
Man all I get is Edge, I hate you guys with uber fast phones.

Opera 9.5 (beta) can offer this service. You can configure the temporary download folder and the final download folder to be in the SD card. All these settings can be found in about:config, while opera beta can be found on this forum.

Okay I ended up downloading the advanced config. I see an option in there under IE settings that allows me to change the default temporary folder. What do I want to change this folder to though?
@ TrYde I really don't want to install Opera 9.5 (Beta) since it can't be uninstall ed but thanks for the info.
Edit In: Okay I think I got it in the right place. I created a temp folder on the storage card and wrote the directory as \storage card\Tempfiles. I then browsed my files on the storage card. It looks like in the tem folder I created advanced config wrote my cookies,history and temporary internet files into. I'll try this tonight at work and report back. A big +1 to you for letting me know about this program! I can't believe they would put such a limitation into the phone to begin with O wait yes I can.....

bluetooth file exchange

Have been using my new tytn II for the past weeks, so am a newbie to this XDA-dev malarky and think its all great and fandabiousy, (preverbial) 'BUT' am having problems with lost bluetooth files......
I use a mac on leopard with bluetooth file exchange for data transfer/cabs etc. with the latest rom wmbile 6.1 from HTC site.
Also use the 'missing sync' as a go between instead of 'active sync' but tend to drop files across using the standard bluetooth file exchange as that seems to work more consistently than the desktop mount or instal option of the 'missing sync' -
tytn tells me that it is accepting the files and then says 'do I want to save file to device' I select 'yes' with no option for where to place them this means that I end up having to hunt throughout the device for the transfered file, which consistently is invisible to the naked eye
If I use the search it does not tell me where the files are being stored and does not offer any advanced options (that bit just does not seem to be playing at all no matter what it searches on) so I double click a cab from the search menu and it instals
From a file management perspective this is a nightmare as I presumably have redundant cab files somewhere on the phone and data which is just hoggin space
Have searched the forums here and htc and the blogs and the wider yhoo/ggle for the past day etc. But to no avail nothing on where this pesky little blighters are being stored or transferred to or no info on how to direct them to a folder of my choice.
So the million dollar question is.......... where they go? (presume there is a default)
The two million dollar question is .......... can I manage these more efficiently with better software? (if so any pointers)
And the three million dollar question is .......... How many smarties did it take to build the london underground?
All help much appreciated in full!

The default is under the Devices documents folder ( My device ----->My Documents using file explorer) . I also use a macbook pro. Best bet is to transfer things to a cardreader. MUCH faster and you dont have to worry about dropping out in the middle of a large file transfer.
Also, depending on the rom, there is also the option for an actual "Bluetooth transfers" folder which i also believe to be under the "My documents" folder on the device.

you are a guiness sir ! loads of cans found and deleted !

do you run tomtom? and if so do you find it works using the card reader to sync to HOME (their update software) ?
Am attempting to run tomtom 6 nav and have just bought the maps for western Europe but it will not sync through usb or bluetooth

Simply copy the maps onto the root of the sd card once downloaded. When you start uo tt6 ( im running tt7) it should ask for your key. Input it and all is good

my problem is found in the access to the maps - tomtom use 'home' software to download and pair with the device unfortunately this does not work with tytn and mac so am stuck at the 'turn your device on and pair' screen. with no links to my legitimate map downloads etc,
(have only found tomtom 6 navigator to work without crashing my tytn...)
have emailed tomtom to see if they can give me a manual cab download rather than this messy software malarky! still waiting reply.....

[Q] Need help with some Basic customisation. Please Please

Hi there. I have had my Nexus One for a week now, and so far im finding it ok - I havent really used it much though. Anyway, I have a few basic questions which are really confusing me, but I know could be simply answered by all you Pro's
Anyway, here is what I want to be able to do. What I want to do is be able to make/select my own Icons to open up applications or folders..
1: Have an Icon/picture of a game controller (or something which symbolises gaming) Then when you click on the Icon it opens a folder full of my games.
2: Have an Icon of something which symbolises Pictures. When you click on the Icon it will open up my gallery.
I Currently have Desktop Visualizer. I know with that you can select a picture and then select what you want to open with that. But I dont know how to make it so that it opens a folder when clicking not an application??
Do I need a different application? Also, Do I download the pictures/Icons on my PC then put them over to my SD Card, or just get them straight on my phone?
Last question, If I want to combine two images (Lets say for example two different types of controllers) into the one image, What software on my pc/application on my phone would I need?
Sorry if that doesnt make sense, its as english as I can make it. All help is greatly appreciated

Get Bettercut or FolderOrganizer. Look for them in the market. They will allow you to customize your app's icons and shortcuts. You should read up on how to use it, it's pretty simple so I'm not going to write it here.
The best way is to download and install "icon Packs" apk's (there are so many on here and on the markets, BIG THANKS TO THE MANY CREATIVE PEOPLE OUT THERE.). It works very well with the above apps.
to download pictures/icons on your pc to the sdcard:
1. download ASTRO file manager (free)
2. connect your phone to pc via usb, then turn on connection (make sure you have usb debugging turned on)
3. once you are connected, then your sd card becomes a "removable storage drive" and you can just copy & paste any files from your pc to the card like you would if you had an external drive.
I don't know if you want to use your phone to combine images or pictures. it will be pretty hard with the controls. i would say do it on your pc and then just transfer it over to the phone.

Thank you Thank you Thank you. Using Folder Organiser now and is exactly what I wanted. Thanks heaps for everything

Hi!
Try to set you screen lock to never:
Settings -> lock & wallpaper -> Screen time-out: never
Than try again the steps described in post #9.
After finished set back screen lock time-out to original value to preserve battery power.
Regards,
Cina.

Doesn't seem to work, but thank you for the insight =] I really appreciate everyone's help but i think i've come to terms with just simply giving up.... I'm reinstalling windows 7 and XP so i might jump back up and try it once more

You can try to e-mail the files to yourself or you can try other online storage services
Although the methods previously suggested might work, and they do with several limitations, I wouldn't advise them as they will either leave your files lost in the middle of hundreds of e-mails or pile your office hub in a completely unorganized fashion.
My solution is much better; simply create OneNote notebooks, organized anyway you see fit, insert your files and sync them to SkyDrive.
When you sync them with your WP phone you will have your pdf files organized and always available.
Never tried this method with any file larger than 50Mb but with smaller ones works like a charm
Cheers

[Q] Htc hd 7 bluetooth

Hi! When i want to send file from other phone to my htc hd7, i see message "not supported". How do i repair this?

The easy answer is to take a seat and pray that M$ come up with the goods. In other words you cant send anything over BT at this moment in time.

With WP7, the only way to transfer files is via Zune, SkyDrive or email em to your device. That's the reason why they disabled access to the storage card. I can't believe I'm saying this, but, I'm used to it now.
Sent from my HD7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

there's a way to view the storage in windows explorer. can be used to add files quickly

Hi tmak22,
"there's a way to view the storage in windows explorer. can be used to add files quickly"
Can you give me a hint? Can't see anything ... (Connected via USB to Win XP)

definetley not recommended. Easy way to screw up your sd card. WP7 does not have a file system as such, therefore transferring files can only be done via Zune and now in mango trough SkyDrive or email always. Read this answer from Microsoft: "WP 7 doesn't support any profiles that would allow you to transfer files via BT, so there is no point in trying to connect to a laptop. Your option is e-mailing a file to yourself.
In Mango you will have the option of saving the file to Skydrive via WiFi or Cell Data. Stil not directly to a laptop however.
Notice there is no file system, so no explorer that you could get to the file and say 'send via BT', no option within an open document menu that says 'send via BT'. There is no BT transfer directory, and if you could attach via BT the file explorer on your PC would not be able to navigate to a file to download, because, again, there is no visible file directory structure."
