This is my third Android phone, but the first with this problem. Zip files only download like 64kb,and not the whole zip.When I download a metamorph theme for example on my phone it will say the theme is invalid. But if I download that same file om my comp and copy to my sd card, itll work......my captivate wont download the full zip. Please help
I have the same issue, haven't seen it resolved.
Blah. This is something so simple I was able to do on my nexus and droid 1. Pretty sad the Cappy cant
Is this on just the default browser or on opera and dolphin too?
I tried dolphin and same....
Does it do this with other types of downloads?
I read somewhere that certain file types like zip and rar isn't associated with any program and the download will fail. Download Crutch Lite app allows you to download the file by allowing you to associate it to a program. Not sure though.

Tried it and still doesnt work......
I've downloaded small ROMs that are zip files and they work fine. I've tried large zip files and they don't work.
Sent from my Samsung Captivate!
I have never been able to download files from posts here with regular browser. It starts download then fails. All roms have the same problem....must be the browser. I have to run either opera or xscope anytime I want to download a posted file here. Hosted files from links here work fine, but posted files fail. What am I missing here?
Thanks
I have the same issue with the stock browser on TnT Lite 3.10. I will try those other browsers you mentioned.
I am trying to figure out how to install reader's hub ( i have asked several questions, but I can't get anyone to help me). I have a US Sprint Tab. Each time I try to download the files, they download unsucessfully, and give me the error message "content not supported". This seems to only be true for rar files, as I have downloaded the readers hub zip file just fine. I currently have apk installer, Explorer, and Andro zip installed. Can someone please help me???
Hi,
As far as im aware even though androzip supports the rar files, it does not associate itself with the samsung tab explorers launcher for that file type.
If you extract this in the androzip itself and then browse to the contents you extracted that should work that way.
Wish you luck, let us know how you get on

Thanks for your reply. I would love to try thatm, but the tab wont even let me download the file. The thing is, I already have the files I need to get the readers hub, but I can't get it to install. Well, I can install the press Display and the Kobo, but the readers hub wont install. And although the Press Display and Kobo say they are installed, I don't see them anywhere on my tab.
Ahh OK, sorry to have misread the problem ...Have you access to a PC? as you could download and send. ...if not link me up ill download and make it a zip for you (my racing team dr-ukr has a server i can upload to for storage).
Alternatively try another browser, i've not yet tried the others but mayb it's jsut the Samsung modded browser that cannot support the download?
Ill post back if i get to test that first in Dolphin HD/Opera/Fennec beta etc..

Do I have to root my tab in order to install readers hub? Now I'm reading the rooting app has been removed, so rooting may not be possible.
Sorry i do not know about rooting, i am still on stock firmware and not wanting to blow my warranty yet. (allthough it will happen in the end) ... i have my nokia n900 for all the playing about for now (i'm confident with it and the tab is my first android).
Wish you luck and pretty sure the others here will help out

I was having the same problem. I tried opera browser and it let me download the files. The stock browser is junk.
Go to market and download "Download all Files", works perfect on GT.

I think something changed after the 2.2 update. I used to be able to download nzb files through the stock browser. Now if i try to download them using stock browser or opera, they download as a .bin file. I went into astro and changed it to .nzb, but it still doesnt work. Is the phone modifying these files so they cant be stored on the phone properly? I was surprised that I couldnt find any discussion of this by searching google. Also, when i tried download a .mp3, the same thing happened.
Ok so i have been trying to download this file ( http://powshare.com/t2/Hardwell-On-...-25.01.2013-www.edmtunes.com.mp3#.URN_zB02Yy4 ). Its a set from hardwell, nothing illegal. Tried stock browser, chrome, opera, dolphin, boat and lightning browsers. All fail to download the file. The only one that could successfully download this file was firefox. This happens to me with some mirror sites like mediafire (i can actually download from mediafire, but i cant remember more to give as an example).
Why is firefox the only one able to download this file? Since firefox can download the file, it is not a problem with my Nexus s right?
I am using hellybean rom (based on cm 4.1.2)
