So im trying to download a zip file and it's always unsuccessful. I've used dolphin browser, skyfire and the default browser. I've downloaded astro file manager and even androzip and went into astro to enable it to recognize but no matter what I do it fails. Any help?

Is it a 7-zip file? Not sure if that would make the difference...
my .02 cents...
It is. Can I just not download that type of zip file?

Yes, install a file manager program like Linda File Manager. Go into its settings and make sure "Download Plugin" is on. If you are having problems downloading attachments in the stock email program, don"t use it. Use your browser to go to the real site (like hotmail.com) and then you should be able to download your attachment like on a pc. You still may have to rename a files extension to download your attachment if sending to yourself. I had to rename an apk to a txt to be able to save it to my phone. Then I just went into Linda and renamed it back to an apk file and it worked fine.
Thank you, worked great.

No problem, glad I helped
I have this game which has a apk file and sd file.Now what to do.
You need a file browser so you can find the file on your card and then you will be able to open and install it

Download astro from market then open the .apk.
I downloaded a zip file theme from my cell phone's browser using androzip that I got from the market and flash a theme.. androzip works great.... any one else used androzip?

I recommend androzip for rar files and other archives. Use astro for general file browsing and root explorer for technical stuff.

Wrong forum. This is more a question. But you need to install a filebrowser capable of reading zip files to download them. ES File Explorer or I/O File Explorer would do the trick. It does on mine.
Download astro file manager, free in market, and then go to preferences>> enable browser downloader. Now you can download anything
Or use Opera Mobile for your browser

I'm looking for a program that can download, open and extract zip files. Any ideas or recommendations?

I like Zarchiver. It doesn't have the best looking UI, but it does its job, and does it well. Plus, it's about the only one I could find with native support for 7z compression. It's also fast & lightweight.

+1 for zarchiver, fast and reliable and no bloat

I know B1 Free Archiver's not bad. is also a great file manager. I download it from Google Play, it's very easy to find it.

I used ZArchiver but it crashed sometimes in my case. Now I'm using X-plore file manager's built in archiver. In my opinion this is the best except for it's old school interface..
Please press the thanks button if I helped you.
Have a good day...
Extracted files lose their timestamps
I like the TotalCommander file manager, which has a very fast and efficient ZIP built in amongst other great features.
The only problem is that when unzipping files, their timestamps get lost. The files that are INSIDE the archive reflect the correct file-date-and-time, but after extracting them, the restored files have their timestamps overwritten.
So I tried a standalone ZIP manager, ZArchiver, but i'm getting the same problem there too!
If anyone is able to extract files with their original timestamps intact, then which app are you using?
TIA
