If your internet connection on the phone craps out for like a second you will get this error. Use Wifi if at all possible, avoid 4G unless you are sure it is rock solid.

Try a diffrent modem man, I say DK28...

Im on EC05. :s

You can still flash the DK28 modem through ODIN, but I recommend the EE03 modem, everyone who's using it seems to find it better than the EC05.

Found the cause - Stock Browser. Used a different browser and it fixed my issue.

Also.... anyone that likes the stock browser and wants to use that one... download the app "download all files" from themarket.

does gps work for you on ee03?

Yes GPS works for me on ee03 modem. Its so much better than ec05 for me. Better reception and faster 3g and wifi for me.

What are the requirements? I am on RandomRom and Geonicide kernel. I get the log in screen for netflix but as soon as I enter my usernme and try to log in it closes the app.
You need to be on EE03 or EF02 (Gingerbread) for it to work at all. I'm getting good everything from EF02Plus if you wanna mae th switch.

You may have the modem, but make sure you are also running the gingerbread rom EF02. If not you will need to flash it with oden like you did with the modem.

I don't know if the stock android browser supports it, but in Dolphin Browser or Opera you can download any type of file. You can use something like file expert to open the zip file.

OP just stated downloading. Stock browser on EI22 works fine for that. Miren stopped working for some reason though.

i'm with the OP.. i've never had good luck consistently getting .zip files to download. Most the time they'll go to start, hang for a min, then fail. tried stock browser, and a couple others. doesn't seem to matter what rom I'm using either.

This has been working fine for me since EH17 when it got fixed. I download full ROMs with no problem.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I've never experienced any issues downloading any files, let alone zip files, using multiple browsers. I'm currently using a blacked out version of Dolphin mini (ty Starsky's rom) and have yet to have an issue still. I usually use Root Explorer to move the file to the folder of my choice, and I guess roms take a bit longer than most files (size) but never any issues. Good luck!

What ROM are you on?
I think it's the file host some of the rom devs use, or possibly his router. For certain roms, downloading over wifi fails no matter what I do, and I end up using 3G.(unlimited plan, 150mb is nothing)

Not so fast, guys...
...I had a bit of a phone hiccup today and had to ODIN back to stock EL30.
I decided to run the Sprint TV app to see if it would give me that message about some content being accessible over WiFi. No such luck. However, it automatically checked for an update, downloaded it, and when the app restarted after updating, VIOLA!
So you'll want to ODIN back to stock, update the app, then get root and use Root Explorer/Ti Backup/whatever to copy it to your SD card.
Orrrr...I can just save you the trouble and post the .apk
If that's allowed....?

Firefox or Opera are the only two browsers that work to download anything. Plus while downloading do not exit the app.

Its probably the network.. I noticed running on sprints network whe the phone would go into deep sleep the radio would turn off and download would fail.. My suggestion is to try force roaming with another prl and try to download while roaming.. For some reason when im on sprint prl 60687 using sprints 3g data i have to keep screen on until its finished.. While roaming i can throw it on the charger and come back to a finished download. Or get a browser that will allow you to start/stop the download but this way you might get a bad download.. I wish more devs would use torrents since its way easier to download using adownloader

Go into the market and search "Astro". Its a great file explorer and if you go into "Menu"......."Preferences"....and check box that says "Enable Browser Downloads" then reboot. You can now DL anything from any site.
