Seems the stock browse is unable to download for example .EXE-files. Inalso tried Download all files from market, as well as Astro file managers downloader function, but nothing worked. Any solutions?
I asked.this same question in the EVO 3d forums. No answers yet. Someone suggested opera mobile but I would rather use the stock browser

Simple way to fix this. Download Astro file manager from the market...then go into its settings and check "Enable browser downloads".

I am Unable to download anything using Dolphin/Stock browsers. When i click on download it saves html file. What shld i do to rectify the problem?
Same problem here, still looking for an answer.
I never had this problem. In fact, the file that i download using stock browser shows up under the downloads app. What type of file are you downloading?

If it helps, I'm not having this problem at all with Dolphin HD or the stock browser. Let me know if you want to compare stuff (settings, configs, apps, etc.)...?
I haven't tried this on the Acer, but I had the same problem with my Droid x at first.
Go to the market and download "Download All Files". On the Droid, this is a browser addon for stock. Try to install it, launch it, then try the browser again. You might have to kill the process first aafter installing it.
I'm going to test it now for myself.
Download problems
Do you have 'Unknown Sources' checked in Settings-Applications? If not, you won't be able to do it.

I had the same problems, since then for downloads I am using Opera Mini and for normal browsing Dolphin HD.
Hey everyone, joined xda today in hopes of finding a resolution to a problem I've been having. I'm running cm7.0.3.1 and for some reason, I can't download any files using the browser. I've tried a few different types of files to no avail. I get either a .htm file or it simply says "download unsuccessful" in download manager. Clearing caches didn't help nor did opera mobile. The market still works fine and so do any in-app downloads. What could the cause be? Any help would be appreciated...
Try firefox, it's download manager is different then the others.
Do a quick reboot. That happens to me every so often, that normally fixes it.
Firefox didn't work either, download started but wouldn't actually download, even on wifi. I rebooted a few times, after Mozilla installed, and after clearing caches. I'll keep searchin' and tryin' though
odd..I don't have a clue..try tehs suggestion or reflash cm..odd really odd. Never had a problem..
install a better Rom..lol
Try downloading astro file manager. After download go into app and click menu then more then preferences. Go all the way to bottom and there is a check box that says enable browser downloader. Try that and see if it helps you. Before when I had a similar problem this fixed it.
Edit...I am also running cm7.

Linda file manager also enables that function by default. Search in android market.

hi all, im using samsung galaxy sl.
i wan to download mp3 from mp3.sogou.com.
when i click the download button in the download page, i only manage to download the html of that page but not the mp3, so i wonder what is the problem....
i try to download apk from some website too, same thing happen.
the file showed to be download is .apk, but when downloading, it is .html.
when done, i open it, it is the html of the page that contains the download.
is there anyway to download mp3/apk from website (through internet)?
Try opera mobile or install "download all files" from the market.
''musicbox turkce'' apk downloads mp3 songs..try it
I'm not 100% sure if this works, but download astro file manager, free from the market...go to options/preferences and there is an option to download all file types, select that and see how it goes...

Opera mobile is cool! thanks...
dolphin browser hd runs flawesly too
Or you could choose to purchase music, downloading from these sites is illegal.
Im coming from a nexus s running CM, and on that i was able to download any file on the net direct to the phone.
On my note, i have been trying to do the same thing, however, moments after the download starts, it fails and i get an error message saying that the type of file is not compatible with my device.
The files ive been trying to download are the plugins (such as nVidia) for chainfire 3d... It also happened yesterday when i was trying to download some custom boot animations.
This means i have to wait till i get home, download to my pc then transfer them.
is it because im on the stock rom, and future custom roms will fix this? Or is there something i can change that will sort this?
I am rooted.
Are you using the stock browser?
If so, why not try a different browser, give Opera browser a go and see if you have any more download problems.

I do like the stock browser, but its very strange why it wont let you download.
Opera looks nice, ill give it a run
Dolphin browser is another good one.
