So has anyone else noticed that when long pressing a video link online, the save link option no longer downloads the video like it used to? Now all it does is add a .crdownload to the downloads folder in my file manager, but when it gets to a random amount of megabytes downloaded it just disappears without a trace!
Extremely frustrating seeing as in the previous version of chrome just downloaded the file no problem.
Nexus 7 2013 edition is what I'm running if that matters.
Any shared experiences or advice?

I noticed that when I email mp3s to myself (via Gmail) and later try to download those files to my phone via Gmail in the Android Browser (not the app, it has an entirely different set of issues, like no download option at all, only preview), the Android browser mucks up the filenames if there is a space in the filename.
I also noticed that the browser replaces "unsupported" characters like (, ), ' (so far tested) and replaces them with a _.
That's fine, but I just wished I didn't have to go thru all my filenames and replace the spaces with a _.
Is this an Android browser defect? Sorta feels like living in DOS 8.3 again not having support for spaces in filenames.
Yes, this is a (semi) confirmed issue with the Android browser. It doesn't seem to handle spaces in file names correctly.

Mine is comment 4, if anyone is interested.

Good find! I put in my vote on that issue. Google needs to fix this pronto!
Searched couldn't find. Mega thanks to Whitehawk and all others giving hercules love.
I had been running Juggernaut 5.0 since Jan/Feb and it remains beautiful and flawless for me. On Oct 1 I switched to the AOKP Jellybean Build 4 Oct 1 release. I noticed the following differences in ROMs, tried searching for answers and was unsuccessful. Please answer if possible...
Questions:
All questions are based on having run Juggs for 10 months and now finding apps not installed on AOKP Jellybean:
1. There is no default media player? I can't seem to play my MP3s.
2. There is no "Files" app, which I used to use to give me folder access to the internal sdcard and from there I was able to copy, move files.
3. Related to #2, I am unable to view my PDF files because Acrobat Reader cannot seem to find them even though I was able to open them in Juggs.
4. New folder structure: Music is separate from Movies (not just 'media' anymore). Does folder structure matter for downloading and viewing attachments?
5. Other apps like the notepad, voice recorder and others aren't there.
Is there any way to recover those apps?
Thanks in advance.
You will need to download similar apps from the play store.. Pick your favorite music app or try different ones till you find one you like.. I suggest ubermusic! I think it totally kicks ass.. As for a file explorer I suggest solid explorer.. It's probably the best out there imo.. And you will need to download some fort of pdf viewer in order to view those as well.. The file structure should not matter when it comes to downloads.. At least it doesn't for me

1: i noticed that chrome "cuts" and overlap part of some web pages...for ex google upper menu appears over the first search result, making it impossible to click.
(edit)
1,1: sometimes it stucks and has a strange behavour with s pen (i click somewhere but it takes as click in another place in the page. it s evidente when small chars and many links )
it doesnt happen in any other app or menu.
2 stock browser doesn t recognize "other favourites" folder or the equivalent for italian "altri preferiti".
i can save only in the main folder and subfolders and not there
same for you?
1. Same here
2. I don't know, I mainly use Firefox beta now
edited main post.
firefox has any kind of sync with google favourites? can be edited?
for me it's a major feature.
I started getting this with Chrome when we got the first "performance improvement" update. I work around it by zooming in and scrolling. Not ideal by any means.

I dont know but I think the chrome has it's issues?
Noticed the same issue with Chrome, took me a while to really notice what was going on.
I had problems with Chrome as well. I like it but not enough to put up with a chopped off screen and major offset for the touch screen. I went with Opera and it works like it should so far.
Yip, this happens to me as well and it sucks.
So this seems to be an issue on my nexus 7 but not my gs4, gs3, touchpad, or atrix. If I click a web link from another app (feedly, email, reddit bacon reader, Tapatalk, etc), the page will open in whatever the last chrome tab I had open was. So if I have three Wikipedia page open and click a hyperlink from email, the last of the wiki page will open the new link I clicked instead of that link opening we In a new, fourth tab. Pottery frustrating as I often have lots of tabs open and don't want one to be over written. Is there some setting somewhere to adjust this behavior? Ideally I want all links fro. Other apps to open in a new browser tab in chrome all the time no exceptions, which is what my gs4 does. Oddly, links from Facebook already always open in new tabs on the nexus though (just want that behavior from all other apps too). Any thoughts
It's necroposting but I have the same problem with an s7 edge and the latest chrome from play store, can't find a way to fix it

When attaching files to posts, what are the size limits? Do they vary by file extension? By thread? By user?
Someone wanted to share a 180KB text file. I said "just attach it, I've seen much bigger files." He found he was forced to break it into pieces.
I went through the motions of attaching a 40MB PDF file. It ground away a bit, and seemed to have accepted and uploaded the file. I deleted the attachment before posting, but it really looked like it was going to let me do it.
This would be something to ask to @MikeChannon, please?
I'm also interested in this because the other day I needed to attach a small 200KB txt file but was unable to do it. The file was uploaded but not recognized: the posted message did not contain the attachment.
So my bonus question to Mike is: are txt and log (for instance) extensions allowed on xda currently? If it's not the case it would be appreciated to add them because txt/log/whatever are basic to me.
@J.Michael's concerns are interesting.
Thanks.
In another thread, people regularly attach .txt files. When I try to "open" the attachment in my browser, instead of displaying the file in a browser tab (which I want), it gets downloaded. Add to the nuisance of having to open another app and navigate to the Downloads folder, the subsequent bug hunt for a file whose name I did not get to choose, which name was never clearly displayed to me.
It may be that those text files are less than 20KB.

Yes txt, pdf, log files are already approved and with big size limits. The system uses "chunked" uploading.
A couple of points to note. It might be that on any one occasion the servers are at high load and might not co-operate nicely.
As for whether your browser opens or downloads a file, well that depends on you and the settings you have set in your browser. You have options to choose whether your browser opens or saves files and it can be set by file type. Different browsers can have varying options. In firefox go to Settings>General and scroll down for options for each file type. In Chrome settings can be changed via Windows see here.

Testing uploading txt file...
I've tried to upload a txt file from Chrome mobile, and it doesn't work, like the other day. Will probably try some other things later...
New test, uploading very small txt file...
In either Naked Browser or Chrome (on a tablet), trying to open the attachment (tap or take the trouble to long-press and select "Open in new tab") instead results in "download". I do not see any settings to specify handling as a function of file type.
Maybe it is because the URL does not look like a file name ("https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachments/test-txt.5384917/"), but the name of the downloaded file is clean ("test.txt"), and I am able to open image attachments in the browser, as opposed to being forced to download text files.
Can you confirm that a MIME type is being sent and just what it is?
