Somehow whenever I go to download a zip file from an xda link. It tells me download unsuccessful? Is this a new feature on gingerbread? Is there a workaround?

Try using Dolphin, Boat Browser, or Opera. These always work for me when the stock browser fails.

Another member was having the same problem in another thread. Below is my quoted advice:
Download this app (it's tiny) from the market. It works with your native browser by unlocking it's ability to download files of all types. Install it and open it. Arrow back out. Then open your browser and download your file like usual. You should be able to download any file of any type from now on.

You need to download from the site or mirror and before you download it should tell u if it's a HTML it a rare file

Try a different browser.
If you're on a mac, Safari is known to do that with .zip files
Couldn't get it to work have to do it from the computer..

no, you cannot just switch an html file to an rar file.
You are right clicking the link to download, and you are downloading the html file for the mirror site, NOT the actual file. You need to click the link to get to the mirror, then there will be a link to download the zip file.
Yeah, better stick to using the computer on this one, the phone wants to use the htm which makes no sense. I used to always download them from the phone.

I didn't have any problems on my last ET4G anyone know how to fix this?

Even though I set the default browser to "desktop", I am also unable to download zip files. I ended up using XScope browser to download zips and it's working fine. I'm fairly certain other browsers should also work.
I noticed this as well when I tried to download apps from other websites. I really would like to find a work around for this with the Dolphin browser if anyone knows how please share
Download "download all files" from the market. It fixes the downloading problem with the stock browser. Its free also

Download astro, go into preferences and select to allow downloads from browser. Simple as that.
