[Q] Unable to download files from xda

Hello I'm sorry if this has already been brought up but I was unable to find it and the search button is not functioning on my old computer.
Everytime I attempt to download from XDA (of course I am signed in) I immediately get a download unsuccessful message. I have tried Opera Mini, Dolphin HD browser and also have cleaned all cache, history, and data from browsers.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks Jeremy

Get the app "Download all files"
It'll let you download the files

What I do is hit menu then more and then hit browser and select opera. It will open what u are looking at into the browser then u should be able to download what u need. I have the same problem.

That's only needed for the stock browser. He is using opera and dolphin.

Well I have this issue from all 3 browsers. I will try both suggestions anyhow. Just can't believe I need an app to download files that my evo did without blinking. Kinda BS.
Thanks guys

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.

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)

Download from mediafire from your phone

You might have noticed when trying to open a mediafire link on your phone you get a white screen. Well I found a fix.
First go to Google Play and download Dolphin Browser HD , install and open it. When it says about what type of browsing do you want? Android , iPhone , Desktop etc. Choose desktop and skip signing in.
Then go to the mediafire link from there. Next long press on the download now button and copy the direct dl link.
Paste in your normal browser and download. I hope this helped you all. :beer::beer:

Hmm..are you using droidwall? If yes, then You need to assign permission for opera mini in that to get it installed.
Try clearing the apps data and cache andTry reinstalling only from play store.

[APP] Download everything pro - A solution to non-resumable mediafire downloads.

Hi friends, as we all know, most of the ROMs on xda are on mediafire and a lot of users face a non-resumable download problem on the phones on network breakdowns. The problem now has a solution. And the solution is here :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...dium=organic&utm_term=download+everything+pro
Download everything pro... !
This app helps to download files from mediafire and 4shared. I've been using it since a long time and must say, an excellent app !!!
Some hints :
1) How to use : You can copy and paste the download link in the provide link dialog box to go to the download page and then start the download or you can copy the URL itself and use it in the add download option to start a download directly. You can long press on the download link and use the share link and then select download everything pro from the list on the stock Android browser alternatively.
2) Resuming downloads : In case your network breaks down and you lose internet connection temporarily, you can as usual resume the download. On freshly starting a download, if prompted for captcha, go ahead and type it flawlessly But remember, in case you are resuming a download and you're prompted for a captcha, you need to be careful. Do not type in the captcha and press start download then. This might entirely restart the download. Instead, reboot your device and go to the history and select resume download. This doesn't restart the download but resumes it, even the file won't be corrupted !!!
Hope this app helps all the fellow users ! Use and share the app with your friends. Don't forget to rate it on the play store in case you found it useful to support the developer !

You could use either one. LoaderDroid is almost identical to DownloadEverything. I just like Loader Droid's UI more.
If it isn't working, try the methods in the OP. They are same.
