Unable to download from mediafire, 4shared and other sharing sites - Desire General

Hey there I've had my HTC desire for a few days now and I found out that I'm unable to download files (mp3 in particular) from such sites. From mediafire, I get a binary file, .bin which is only a few kb and for 4shared, I get an .mpga file. Both files cannot be opened. I tried to download astro and enabled the download option as well as tried other browsers such as skyfire but they all gave me the same results. Did I do anything wrong? Btw my phone is rooted but unupdated.

As these sites are actively involved in distributing warez/copyrighted material, I'm closing this thread.

Can't download files from the net.....

I did some looking around and haven't found a solution to this problem so I figured I'd go ahead and ask.
My wife has the Dash. I was trying to download some new themes for her phone directly from this site the same way I do for mine on my Wing. For some reason her phone won't allow me to download anything. I'm doing this via our Wifi connection at home, so I'm sure that's not the problem. I also downloaded the same file on my Wing to confirm it and of course the Wing had no problem.
Is there some kind of Smartphone vs. PPC thing that I don't know about when downloading files from the net?
I have the same problem using HTC Vox (original rom). I tried to download any file but PIE or Opera gave me an error that I cannot download these files. It does not matter which kind of file it is.
By default you can download only a few file types. Please check this http://www.modaco.com/content/Smart...Standard-devices-Review-of-Opera-Mini-4-beta/ for a solution. There is a freeware at http://www.smartmadsoft.com/products.html#feadie can help too.

I suspect that vBulletin does not support the Download manager.
Sorry, you'll have to do it the old fassion way.
No attachment on this site is bigger 8MB anyway.

I was actually referring to firefox's builtin download manager, but before I replied I tried disabling the external download manager and let the browser handle it alone. Before this I would just hit cancel when the external manager kicked in and thought the I would get the same reaction from the browser. Something got lost in passing the argument to the browser. After disabling the manager, firefox downloaded just fine.
Well, everything is fine with the world now. Something so simple ... geeez, and I call my self a computer geek?
Just as an additional info, accelerators like IDM will work fine but DAP wont parse the php correctly.
It happened to me before, what i found was that it installed plugins in firefox so i disabled those and it workes fine now
I'm getting the same problem, but I don't use a download manager. I've tried Firefox and IE7 (both under Windows XP) and both see the link as a 1x1 Gif Image.
I've never come across this before so any assistance would be most welcome.
Thank you
Get Chrome
I have downloaded and installed Chrome, but I still get the same result, the attachment is seen as a Gif.
I am trying to download "lokiwiz03a.zip" from THIS link. Is there an alternative source for this without having to trawl through the various File sharing sites who could have added who knows what to the package?
Again, thank you for the help.

if its a .zip, then im assuming you use winrar to open it?
If this is true, then download the file to the desktop, then right click it and select "Open With..."
Look around for "Winrar" and then select it, Then make sure "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file."
I hope i helped you, if not... Send me a PM (For faster communication)
I think you can't download the file because the file does not exist anymore. I also tried to download lokiwiz with the very same result. The 1x1 Pixel is the only thing you get. Maybe the link is just dead or the file has been moved...
EDIT; the download link doesn't even work....
thank you
That was realy helpful, thanx.
Maybe you know where I can download some ROMs too.
I need an english (or german) ROM for a Qtec 9100. I've tried the links on this site but these links seem to be dead (I allready posted that in another thread).
Maybe you can help me out here too.

Really?

I tried Chrome, IE 7, IE 8, IE 8 x64, lynx and links (Vista x64 and Linux) and always a blank page.
Maybe we could have a better page, like this file does not exist anymore or something like that...

Help with Mobile Firefox/Fennec install

So I had been doing some searching and can't seem to find my answer, so here is my question. I have downloaded both mobilefox 2.0.0.7 and Fennec. I can unzip the programs but when I try to load them on either of my phones, Vogue and Raphael, I get the same error message " 'startmobilefirefox' is not a valid Pocket PC application." I have unzipped it on the phones and on my computer (then transferred it over) and I still get the same message. Am I doing something wrong?
Sounds like you might have the wrong files. The WinMo files should be packaged as a cab file and once transferred to the phone will trigger the installer on the phone.
When I checked the Mozilla ftp site, they had builds for a number of different platforms. Look for the .cab ones.
I was able to find a Fennec Cab file when searching on google. Fennec is only good for the HTC phones that have a Keypad. It doesnt work on my Vogue but it does work on my Raphael. Only issue is that now that my wife and I have tried it out, its not working properly. It takes about 1 min for it to pull up and run but, when I try to load a website it doesnt load any pages. All of this is only due to myspace wont load on any other browser on her phone. Time to see if I can find another browser that will allow her to get on myspace.
