I cant download files from 4Shared or rapidshare. all i get is a small file and if i change the extension to HTML you can see that the file is actually a new page to download the file from with a higher timer.
I tried wiping browser data.
I tried wiping cache/dalvik.
I tried a fresh wipe with the stock rom and no apps installed.
i tried CM6.
i tried different browsers (Opera, xScope, Dolphin)
i tried the download plugin setting in astro and linda file managers.
I tried using the tornado download manager.
just cant think of anything else. this all used to work for me and i'm not sure when exactly it stopped. currently using Fresh 3.2 with the kernel it comes with. this problem doesnt happen on megaupload.
Please help! anyone have any ideas?
I had this happen once... I am assuming you are downloading on your evo. When downloading, make sure the phone stays awake(touching screen), or disable the screen to sleep, and monitor the progress in the notifications dropdown to ensure you are getting the full download.
Yep my screen stays awake. Monitoring it in downloads doesn't help.
Just to be clear this happens on 3g and wifi.

Then I don't have an answer!
Good luck.
possibly an issue with those 2 roms? I've seen people mention that issue before, but I've never had an issue with that on Baked Snack with the stock browser.
Ok just tried baked snack 1.7
No luck.
Wiped everything twice with RA.
Thanks for trying though.

This has happened to me on a consistent basis since owning the evo on every rom I've flashed. The only one that worked for me 100% of the time was mediafire.
That so strange. Now its not working for me either. I havent downloaded to my phone in a while, but I specifically remember 4share always worked fine for me. Sorry man - don't know what's going on.

4shared worked a couple times for me today! Maybe it was a problem with the website.
Edit: that one link still doesn't work

If you are using any type of add blocker on your evo... turn it off.... alot of legit redirect links get blocked by these apps.

i would try a diff browser. stock browser has those issues. i personally use opera when dl. never had a issue with opera.
Tried reverting on adfree.
Didn't help.thanks for trying.

Can't use opera. The timer doesn't run once the page loads.

It may have something to do with the browser identifying as mobile. My Samsung Moment did it too when I tried to download other zips and rars using the stock browser. I know what your talking about, it downloads about 5k and says complete. Also it sucks balls wlhaving to wait 180 seconds to download a ROM, at least use mediafire folks!
UAString set to desktop. Mobile view turned off.
Still no luck.

4shared works great for me, but lately when I download something the timer takes ages to finish. If it says your download will be ready in 15 seconds, it could take a minute or so for it to be ready, any ideas?

Go into settings and uncheck the mobile view, the countdown will work with the desktop page.

I dont see any settings for it?
So you have some files you want to download using the phone... but as soon as the download starts, one of two things happens:
1. It immediately stops and says that it is finished even though you know you didn't just pull 500mb in half a second.
2. It won't download and just says unsuccessful.
This is starting to irritate me. Doesn't matter which browser or user-agent.
Thoughts?
EDIT: It may have been the user agent... didn't think that would matter

Happens to me too...usually like rapidshare or fileserve and other certain sites...but yet megaupload, 4shared, mediafire, and duckload works...havent figured out why

Fileserve didn't work with the Android user-agent, but I changed user agent to Mac Desktop and it worked...

Actually nevermind... even with a different user agent, it doesn't work consistently.

I've always thought it was due to a hiccup in the signal. I know that if I switched from wifi to 3g in the middle of a download, it would fail during the time you have no connection. Maybe it's because the signal is getting interrupted.
I'm having a huge problem downloading rars or zips whether it be on 4g or WIFI or with dolphin browser, stock, or skyfire. I get errors as ssoon as the download starts every time. I can't figure out if this is some sort of block attempt from sprint / Samsung on filesharing/hosting sites or if its just my phone. Anyone have any insight on this? Driving me crazy

Try the app "Download all files" - know that works for me. Usually it's a lack of file association.
Opera mobile works for me.

I have no.idea.why but download.all.files.refuses to assosiate its self with files.until after I download them which is rare and I get the same results on opera.mobile
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
check the download directory. Dolphin>Settings>More>Settings>Privacy & Personal Data and see if there is something in there. Check you 'download' directory too (sdcard/download).

But it is dowloading now, right? That solves your first problem.
Opening a rar will require an app and there are free ones out there on Play.
Sent from my SPH-D710
No they do not download what so ever on wifi 3g or 4g all browsers will just pop up and say error. I'm really thinking its just sprint blocking filesharing sites or something internally wrong with my phone. Its the same thing for downloading roms, tools for roms, or even music that's contained in rars. It just refuses to downlaod things off of browsers.
Edit: it appears to be a memory problem with the internal storage switched it to external dl location and it started working.I was unaware cuz this was previously my girls phone. Thanks for the responses and help.

Try deleting your Google account and then log back in and reboot. See if that fixes it. I've seen this error many times but only on a few apps

You don't necessarily have to delete your Google account. You can try clearing data under manage applications. For some (myself included) that did not work. I actually had to reboot into CWM and Fix permissions. I then rebooted system and viola, all was well.
If you search on the forums for that exact error message, a thread should come up with the above suggestions and a few others.
Hooey this helps.

Is anyone having issues downloading files on your device? This is a first one for me. I have more than enough memory on both sd cards but my downloads fail at 99%. I've tried different roms to see if maybe it was just the one I was running but they all seem to have the same results. I've been trying to download Jovys Stockorama v2 but it keeps failing. Anyone have an idea of what could be causing this to happen? Thanks in advance guys!

I've had issues in the past downloading large files over mobile connection. With a solid 5-15mbit downstream. Just times out for no reason. One day I can download my CM update, the next day I can't.
Use computer or wifi.
Yeah this is the 1st time is happened to me. Unfortunately my WiFi is down at the moment and I won't get another modem till the end of the week.

Have you tried downloading it with Download Manager? I have had that issue using the stock download app before but it works fine with the Download Manager app.
I didn't even think to do that! I'm going to try it right now and see if it works for me. Will update shortly
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I've had this problem when I'd use boat browser, it would always fail at 99%. Wouldn't matter what I'd be downloading. The way i got past it was by installing dolphin browser and use that.
I actually used dolphin too and I had the same errors. I am using download manager right now to see if it works. I had a hard time connecting to the server I think they were having issues. I'm at 50% at the moment. I hope it works!!

I am having the same issue with larger files, usually I just try a different browser until one finally works (ie Chrome, Dolphin, xScope, Next Browser, Lightning, Boat Browser, Firefox, Opera, etc. - Usually one out of two or three will work.)
Question for Aerowinder AND anyone reading this running CM10.1, are you getting hotboots (random reboots without the SGS3 boot logo) on CM10.1? --- I've had this happen a lot when I'm taking the time to download these files on WiFi... I read somewhere that the d2mo CM Team is working on a new kernal to solve such issues, but its a pain when doing such tasks on WiFi...
I tried download manager but it downloaded with errors. It also took twice as long to download. Which app are you using?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Is it just the one file it's doing this on? Or all large files?
Sent from my SGH-T999L using xda premium
I was able to download detmobilized on their dev-host mirror link. I tried other files but was unable to download all the way. Maybe it also depends on the server. This is the 1st time I've had issues.

On stockorama download page, scroll down a little and you can choose a different mirror/server to download from.
Sent from my SGH-T999L using xda premium
I tried all of the mirrors and they're all a no go. I'm going to try the other browsers. I just want to figure it out so it won't happen again
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
If the Download Manager didn't work try Opera... It's useless for most things but when I wanted to download something and nothing else was doing it, opera never failed.
