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.

I tried to help a guy out with his HD2 and the browser won't let me download a .zip or a .cab. It says these files are not compatible with this device.
Is there any way around this?

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.

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

Just use dolphin browser. I use it to download a variety of files from a variety of sites.
firefox's new phone browser works great. also make sure you have an application like ES file manger or Astro to apply the .apk or files.
Or, as what solved the problem for me(still using the stock browser), in Astro file manager's preferences, tick the enable browser download. Im sure these other ways worked, but if you already have astro you wont have to download any new files.
I used to use Dolphin Browser just to download things from the internet.
Now I use xScope 6 to download and as my main browser as well.

Yes, its happened on past phones also..... Find a different file.
Try astro file manager and under its settings select allow unknown browser downloads or something similar.
Yeah, that happened to me too... you have to use a different web browser other than the default one
