Downloads always unsuccesful

Downloads are always unsuccesful on first try. whenever I want to download something from the browser I just click download like 10 times and see if I get lucky and one of them successful. This had never happened to me on with the market and I have tried all browsers like mirren, dolphine, stock, and opera with same results.
I also am on stock and not rooted (im scared to brick my phone)

From the market download astro file manager. Go into preferences and check enable browser downloader and see if that helps.

This don't happen with me that way...
I mean, sometimes my Nexus S just download the full apk and then when its time to install it just jump this step, making the program just downloaded and not installed...

That still didn't work!
I'm so frustrated right now : (

I've started noticing this as well.
As an example I'll go to download an APK (or whatever...) from this forum while logged in on my Nexus S....click the download link, get the "Download unsuccessful" notification. No matter how many times I try to download it just doesn't work.
It's kind of annoying.
As a workaround, I have found that Firefox is able to download stuff to the phone - but it's kind of a pain to load up that monstrosity just to browse and download.

guys, do this to fix the download unsuccessfull issue, you need to use titanium backup to fix...
open titanium, press backup restore, find download manager and downloads. press on it then press wipe data. do this for both. reboot after, and try to download something.

your holding it wrong. j/k
I get this too....wipe old corrupted files then download ...
or download with wifi if it doesn't work then try 3G.

The fix is to goto settings -> applications -> manage applications -> Download Manager -> Clear data
Also trying clearing data in the download app as well.

Market app stuck in download loop, draining battery

I'm trying to download battlleheart from the market but it doesn't download. Instead it gets stuck in a download loop, I can click to install the app as many times as I like and it will add another download
At the minute I've got 4 battle heart apks trying to download and I can't stop them. I've tried stopping the market and clearing its data however it isn't working.
Does anyone know a fix? Its draining my battery like mad

I"m not a pro but I'd say go to settings>applications> choose the market app>stop + clear cache.
Edited to add you can try clearing "DMClient" also...that's the download mgr.

I can't download any files using the browser?

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.

Nothing was working... For now I'm on kings alliance ROM which is downloading files fine with the browser. So it's all good.

I have that problem too on Synergy. I am trying the Linda manager thing....hoping it helps
.........at 8 am today someone poisons the coffee....do not drink the coffee. More instructions will follow.

Download mp3/apk from website

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...

Or you could choose to purchase music, downloading from these sites is illegal.

Help, can't download app from market, can't sideload it..

My Nook Color's running CM7.2. I have that dreaded "your device is not compatible" message from the marketplace. I've tried every solution out there, changing the screen density, fixing permissions then wiping the cache etc. but nothing works.
Well, I said screw and it just decided to sideload the app instead. However even that doesn't work. I download it with my phone, back it up with Astro, then transfer the APK to my Nook. When trying to open it, it says there's an error parsing the file. If I open it with Astro it says can't open as APK.
What can I do? I've sideloaded other apps before but they were downloaded from the internet, not my own backups.
This is the app in question: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ellevsoft.socialframefree
Edit: Just re-read the description, seems I need 3.0 or greater. D'oh!

I had this problem last week. I decided to wipe data, system and cache in recovery and reload my rom. Now the market works and I am able to download stuff that the market said was incompatible (and I knew it wasn't).
