[Q] Download large files

Hey guys, is it possible to download large files (>300mb) to my sgs. When i try to do that the browser just doesnt start downloading. I tried Opera and Dolphin too. Thanks

I never tried single 300 mb file from the browser but u can try installing torrent client. You can download torrent files no matter how big they are.
Another solution is download Astro file browser from market and go to settings. And select "allow browser to download any file" you should be good to go.
Let me know if it works

it's a good question, i'm sure it'll work just fine as long as you have enough free space

Thanks, but Astro "enable browser download" option didn't help me. It seems this tool only allows user to download any type of file(not size).

[CM6] Browser issues?

I want to use dolphin browser HD on my heroc running cm6 stable but it force closes on a lot of websites. I cleared cache, uninstalled and reinstalled, fix permissions in rom manager, and wipe and reflashed cm6 in recovery. The only browser that works is opera mini, with no flash support, which makes it useless. If there is anything else I haven't tried, please please tell me!!!!

You installed flash? That's why it doesn't work. Flash does not work on our phones without sense.

The browser works without adobe flash! I wanted to watch hulu though...

The only easy to view flash content on our phones is to use skyfire or a 2.1 sense rom. Hulu still blocks it out though.

mediafire not working

I cant download anything from mediafire from last 3-4 days i dont know why if someone can help me please.i'm from romania if it matters

I can download, no problems here (Spain)

Try using opera browser. Always works for me even if other browsers don't download stuff from file sharing websites

It does not work for me when I try downloading from it from the phone browser.
You can hit "request desktop site" in the ics browser and the site loads perfectly. If you are on gingerbread, get dolphin browser where you can change the UAC to Desktop.
Hope this helps.

Change the user agent in stock browser to desktop and everything will be working for sure. I just tested it.

Both chrome and stock ICS/JB browsers do this. It appears its a server side problem. I would use Firefox or Opera mobile

I am having the same problem, even when trying to dl attachments from gmail. Tried clearing data for download manager, and browsers and still having the same issue. Maxthon is the only browser that will let me download anything. Going to flash back to stock out-of-the-box firmware and go from there...any fixes that don't involve a full wipe are greatly appreciated, as I have already wiped/restored a dozen times flashing new ROMs hoping it would solve the problem... thanks!

Try a different browser? I've had problems with Stock, although Chrome sometimes works depending on the site.
Dolphin Browser maybe?

I have the same problems with my htc evo 4g lte. Trying to download podcast from any Web browser or download larger rom files. It's usually on wifi when that happens... Wifi is 20meg connection.
My problem only happens on the occasion though, others every time and I use dolphin.
Any fixes?

I remember having this, but it was a while back and on a different phone (gingerbread).
But, my solution back then was to turn off the automatic time and date function.
Long shot but give it a try.

install an android download manager and try again...

U can't download from mediafire on mobile..u need an additional browser like dolphin browser in which u have to change the user agent to desktop...then there will e no problem!

Press 'Request Desktop View' if an option so exists in your browser. Else as Manvendra05 said go for download of dolphin browser. Make sure you are not running any FWs

Thanks guys
