hi guys
I am not able to download files like .zip and apks from the browser , it either says unsuccessful or downloads 0 bytes or just downloads .html files ,
i had the same issue on my captivate but installing byte tornado fixed it but that doesn't seem to work on the tab , i tried Download All and couple of other apps none of them seem to help
any tip from any of the pros here ?
Thanks

I have no problems unless it's certain filehosts. Filesonic doesn't work for me, but megashare, megaupload do. Direct links always work.
Use firefox, firefox beta or even opera browsers. They will all let you download practically anything. Even from sites like filesonic or whatever else you can throw at them. It appears that the stock browser, dolphin, and a few others are based on a certain type of tech that limits these types of capabilities.

EDIT: I solved this by re-flashing the CSC found here and then installing Download Crutch again.
Someone having similar problem? I've googled myself exhausted, but neither Astro, Androzip, Download Crutch or a different browser seems to do it. Every zip file I download carry the size of 59 bytes and is useless. Anything do to with my specific FW, JM5, perhaps?
Does it do it on all sites, or only sites similar to rapidshare?
Just tested Rapid and Mediafire, no luck. Damn, if I'm alone on this one.
No.. I mean, try sites which aren't those kind..
Which Firmware you using?
Ah, sorry, but the answer is still no. I'm using JM5 from samsung-firmwares. Thanks btw for trying helping me out.
Quite a few sites I use have images that don't load since I switched to thor's rom. I had this problem on stock before switching to taboonay now have it again on thor. Sites like football365 have a lotof images that don't load with either an android upside down saying webpage cannot be loaded or a little blue box with a ?
I've been through every browser on the market and it's always the same. Anyone any ideas on what's going wrong? I don't want to switch roms again (loving the speed of thor)
Seems no-one else has this problem then? Must be some kind of hex on me then.
Hi,
Only thing I've had a similar problem with is when I installed some ad blocking software which modified the host file. Once I uninstalled it and copied my original host file back, the problem was resolved.

I had the same problem too and did the same thing but this seems to be something else. I flashed my nandroid backup of taboonay 2.2 and no problems now so definitely a problem with thor rom. Pity I really liked that rom.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Strange, I'm using Thor's ROM and images load just fine for me.

That's what has me so confused. I haven't heard of this issue in any of the threads relating to thor's rom. I've flashed quite a few roms and none have had this problem except when I was using the ad block app. I'm sure it's nothing I have done as I did a full wipe (as always) before flashing and didn't touch the settings at all.
Anyway as I said I'm back on taboonay now until the next version of thor is released then I'll give it another shot. I'm not giving up just yet. I love thor's roms
On the Thor's rom the images and animations of advertising are locked so that the page will load faster, this is done from the hosts file redirecting to 127.0.0.1 advertising pages, you can edit the host file and delete the entries that redirect 127.0.0.1 for that advertising images are loaded, but that will make the pages take more time.

Ok didn't know that. Will look into how I can do it thanks.
Hi, I have a problem (wich I had with SGS2 too).
Everytime I try to download a file from sites like uploaded.to the download finishes instantly with a 0 byte size file.
Is it chrome? or some incompatibility on those sites?
I've also tried Chrome beta but the same happens...
Anybody with same issue?
Thanks

yup....all mobile browsers I've tried fail with uploaded.to. rapidgator's another one I can't use. what's strange, though is that if you tether and download the file on your desktop/laptop it works fine. I've tried switching user agent and everything. nothing has worked for me yet.
if you find anything that works (especially with uploaded and rapidgator) I'd love to know
What about other browsers?

^this.
Most of you guys do not find a problem in resuming downloads from goo.im and androidfilehost.com.(AFH)
I wrote this thread for those who have problem in resuming ROM downloads because of expired links. I have found many people asking for mirror in development thread discussion forum, esp. in CM11. For the developer, it is highly impossible to mirror copy of every nightlies/updates released.
So this is for those who have trouble in resuming.
While downloading from AFH, we get a choice to select from 4 or 5 mirrors, select mirrors, which are not hosted by AFH.
USING IDM
1. Download IDM.
2. Using IDM, the download link can be refreshed reloading the download url from webpage again.
3. Using IDM may be a menace, because you may have to refresh the download links for a few couple of times if you have a slower connection. And also, IDM is trial for 30-days and then you have to pay.
USING UC BROWSER with UC CLOUD {The Best Way}
1. Download UC Browser and install.
2. Open UC Browser and copy the download page of the ROM.
3. Click download and wait for the download prompt.
4. When prompted select Cloud-Download.
5. Browser will redirect to UC Cloud, you may be asked to Sign Up, you can skip this if you prefer to start the download soon. But if you prefer to download via PC, its essential to Sign Up.
6. You will get 4GB+ free space in UC Cloud. (2GB Permanent + 4GB Temp).
7. You can select MY Files or Temp-File Station to save your download. It may take few minutes to get the file downloaded to UC CLoud depending on the file size.
8. Cross check the file size in the AFH/goo.im servers with UC Cloud (just to make sure) after successful caching.
9. Now you can download it straight via UC Browser by clicking download.
10. If you prefer to download it via PC, Go to http://cloud.ucweb.com/ Sign In and click Download.
11. Downloads will continue flawlessly without any errors.
Done!! :good:
Haven't had any issues downloading from either sites. I've a sponsor account at goo.im and AFH doesn't give me much trouble.

You may be right brodah!! But for people with low speeds, its usual that the download links get expired. Even ihave faced it when i pause download for say, 30 min. When i resume, the download link gets expired, also i don't do any sign in/up in AFH. Just direct download. Also I have seen many people keep asking repeatedly for mirrors in CM11 thread as they face issues like download stuck at certain percentage.

Over the last week I have tried several (6+) times to download NPJS25.93-14-13 from Android File Host without success. The farthest it has gone is about 75% with 20%- to 25% being typical. It will then stop with the error "Download interrupted" even though there is no other task or program running on my PC. Though I have recently built a new PC and swapped it with my old one, I have no issues downloading from any other site and have downloaded several gigabytes of files over the last few days. I do not know if it is limited to rajatgupta1998's AFH folder or if it is a problem with any AFH folder. I finally set up my old PC and copied the file from my hard drive on that PC.
Anyhow, has anybody else experienced this issue?
@pastorbob62 that's strange... I can download without issues even from the farthest mirror. Did you tried other mirrors?

Yup! I tried every mirror available at the time. I also tried downloading Lineage 15 from AFH with the same results. And I have no problem at all downloading from other sites all over the internet. Maybe it's a USA thing? I dunno.
AFH has this server problem. i had to download files at 100 kbps, whereas downloading from another sites it's 1 mbps-2mbps
Try using http://savetodrive.net/
You can save any file directly to Google Drive.
I use it all the time.
Please let me know if you need any further assistance.
