So I'm just wondering: what does everybody use for a download manager ( or do you keep stock)?

I never use download managers on any platform

I usually use ES File Explorer's in-built download manager! It's awesome with resume support.
Even this download manager seems pretty good!: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dv.adm
It has all the various settings that you will find in a proper download manager like queues, part splits etc.
I use ADM download manager..

Basically the only reason I have astro installed is because I want to be able to download anything. But, it's inconvenient when I don't want to work in terminal and want a more visual idea of the file system as it cannot access root.
Currently, I prefer root explorer. I still want all downloads though. Can I do this without astro to avoid two exploring Apps?

I just installed Dolphin Browser Mini and it is great, downloads zip file for flashing with CWM without a problem. I used to LauncherPro to hide the icon in the App Drawer for stock browser.
I can't seem to download any files with my nexus s 4g. Usually I attempt to download files from xda either with the app or the site through the browser. I'm always told in downloads and the notification bar that the download was unsuccessful.
Is this due to a setting somewhere? Data profile or the like? Any fix or work around would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Glad you got it to work. I just got the NS4G 2 days ago and on the way home from Best Buy I was trying to download MIUI but kept getting the same error lol
Oh, and if you d/l from browser the file should be in /mnt/sdcard/download

yeah, i found it. the first download didnt take.
That's normal. Android doesn't download files that it doesn't know how to open, usually you are able to download a mp3 or a jpg, cause it knows these files. A file manager helps with files that it knows, but if you want to download ANY type, just install "Download All Files", an app from the market...

what are you trying to download? the stock browser may not like certain files. use dolphin browser hd from the market it is free and you can download any file type you want
I got it on a number of things. You can also install the app "download all files" and then try again

I really need help ... I just installed Astro filemanager.So wheres the original file manager?!

Task manager or the closest thing to it is in settings>apps>Manage apps>Running Services>*click running at the top right*.
There is no Sony Ericsson file manager.
Well sad that there is no file manager :/. What filemanager do you guys use?I use the ES Taskmanager as taskmanager .

Root Explorer all the way. It's the most simple, powerful and elegant file manager out there. Huge searches in seconds, a wholly unobtrusive UI and a tad of options like the possibility to peek into zip files, a nice text editor... I just can't love without it.
ES File Explorer's been the best for me, especially when it comes to network functionality. Very easy to access the shared media on my computer with ES File Explorer.
Oh wow guys for helping .Im using ES Filemanager its the best.

Seriously, you haven't tried File Expert yet...
Besides, Root Explorer is for guys who do a lot of modding system settings. So for your case, a straightforward application [and also more elegant] is what you need.
Mine came with 'office suite' pre-installed which is a file explorer.

Office suite doesnt read all files.
